Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell killing, the process by which a cell brings about the death of another cell, either in the same or a different organism. Any process in an organism that results in the killing of its own cells or those of another organism, including in some cases the death of the other organism. Killing here refers to the induction of death in one cell by another cell, not cell-autonomous death due to internal or other environmental conditions. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell killing. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the killing by an organism of cells in another organism. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of leukocyte mediated cytotoxicity. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule.
