Abstract
Programmed cell death, which can be classified into apoptosis, autophagy, and oncosis, based on the cellular signallingpathways involved in the process, plays a critical role in cellular house-keeping. Aberrant cell death regulation leads to
body malformations, as well as to numerous diseases. Here, we describe the effects of cytototoxins isolated from marine
organisms on the various programmed cell death pathways, and we discuss the current and future applications of marine
natural products in the fields of biomedicine and of biotechnology.
