1–3 It is not clear, however, that apoptosis in AD serves to do more than remove cells that have become useless or too damaged to go on. Alternatively, programmed cell death (PCD, apoptosis) in AD could be the ultimate step in a linked series of events that starts with the earliest stresses on the neuron and progresses over time to its demise. Much of our knowledge of apoptosis is based on studies of the immune system where apoptotic events occur on a rapid time scale. In the brain, it is probable that the events leading to neuronal apoptosis are spread over a longer time, perhaps spanning years.
