Changes in cell morphology during apoptosis

Mechanisms of apoptosis and development of methods to study this process are the focus of researchers at BCRI. Some of the methods originally developed by us (e.g. TUNEL methodology to label DNA strand breaks (&ref.27, &ref.39) are now used worldwide. The photomicrographs shown on this page, which illustrate apoptotic cells stained with different methods, were published in our review papers on apoptosis, that now have over 1,100 citations in the literature (&ref.28 &ref.104).
