Mechanisms of autophagy and apoptosis: Recent developments in breast cancer cells

Figure 2 Main forms of cell death. Autophagy is located in the proper context in relation to classical necrosis and apoptosis. Crossing arrows indicate the existence of common links for apoptosis and autophagy. The entire process of cell death has been divided into three phases: stimulation, regulation and degradation. Note the absence of a regulation phase in necrosis.
