Apoptosis (Programmed Cell Death)

---

Apoptosis (Programmed Cell Death) is an organized process of eliminating cells that are no longer needed.  It is also a process for killing cells that are not wanted, such as cancer cells and virally infected cells.  

Natural products may induce apoptosis in cells that are not wanted.

Natural products may also activate Natural Killer cells and macrophages to be more effective at finding and killing unwanted cells.
