grammed cell death, is a complex mechanism Salvesen 2004; Herrera-Mendez et al. 2006).
by which cells can be eliminated without During the apoptosis process, the initiator

Fidzianska et al. 1991). Apoptosis is initiated the downstream effector caspases (caspases
and regulated by either the target cell or the 3, 6, and 7), which cleave specific target
central nervous system, and is mediated by proteins (Earnshaw et al. 1999). Since the
