Abstract: Cold and apoptosis are tightly correlated and the research on cold-induced apoptosis has become a hotspot within the transplantation medicine area. The signal transduction involved in the cold-induced apoptosis is anfractuous, either mediated or modulated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), Ca2+, Fe2+ and cold-relevant genes in vivo. Based on the worldwide research progress, we try to generally summarize the signal transduction and modulation mechanism involved in the course of cold-induced apoptosis.
