Apoptosis has become a major research area in the biomedical sciences. As there are more than 13,000 papers published annually on the topic, it is impossible to keep track on all developments in the area. The individual aspects of molecular control of apoptosis are well reviewed, but more general, introductory recent reviews into the field are lacking. This review aims to give a brief overview of the field, providing an introduction into the literature for students and newcomers; as it is written for the un-initiated, wherever possible, review articles will be cited rather than original papers.
细胞凋亡已成为生物医学科学中的一个主要研究领域。由于每年有超过13000篇关于该主题的论文发表，因此不可能追踪该领域的所有进展。细胞凋亡分子控制的各个方面已有详尽综述，但缺乏更全面、介绍该领域的近期综述。本综述旨在对该领域进行简要概述，为学生和新进入者提供文献介绍；由于本文是为初学者撰写的，因此尽可能引用综述文章而非原始论文。
