Nota sobre el origen y la historia de la palabra ¨Apoptosis¨

Note on the Origin and History of the Term "Apoptosis"
JORGE EDUARDO DUQUE-PARRA
Anat Rec (Part B: New Anat) 283B:2-4, 2005
This brief essay offers a perspective concerning the etymon of the term "apoptosis," a term that is currently and widely recognized as a synonym for programmed cell death. The origin of the term from the Greek and a historical perspective of how the concept of cell death was viewed in the 1950s to the 1970s are discussed. Studies in such diverse systems as cork oak bark, embryonic neuronal development, hepatology, and insect metamorphosis ultimately described processes similar to what we now call apoptosis.
KEY WORDS: apoptosis; programmed cell death; neuroscience

However, I am compelled to feel very modest about my contribution to the program. Dr. Henry. Beecher, Professor of Anesthesiology at Harvard, has recently called attention to the significance of the observations of earlier experimenters who inhaled anesthetic gases with respect to current explorations of the mind, and I am indebted to him for the idea. Dr. John Fulton had made readily available most of the bibliographic material I required in his annotated catalogue for the centennial of surgical anesthesia. Finally, it was Dr. Herbert Thoms who stimulated me to ........
