RESUMEN
El fenómeno de muerte celular programada, o apoptosis, es actualmente uno de los más estudiados en el campo de la biomedicina; su importancia radica en que varias enfermedades, que afectan tanto al hombre como a los animales, son causadas por una alteración en este mecanismo fisiológico tan relevante, a tal grado que sin la existencia de este fenómeno fisiológico, la vida, como actualmente se conoce no sería posible. El propósito del presente trabajo es definir el fenómeno de apoptosis, describir cómo se regula y dar cuenta de algunas enfermedades causadas por su alteración, así como de las técnicas de detección.
