Wikipedia

  1. Cell death

    Cell death is the event of a biological cell ceasing to carry out its functions. This may be the result of the natural process of old cells dying and being replaced by new ones, as in programmed cell death, or may result from factors such as diseases, localized injury, or the death of the organism of which the cells are part. Apoptosis or Type I cell-death, and autophagy or Type II cell-death are both forms of programmed cell death, while necrosis is a non-physiological process that occurs as a result of infection or injury.

  1. cell death

    Cell death is a biological process in which a cell ceases to function and is permanently terminated. This can occur as a natural part of an organism's growth and development, in response to disease, or due to damage or injury. The process of cell death is typically characterized by changes in cell morphology, breakdown of cellular components, and eventually, removal of the dead cell by the immune system. It is categorized into two types: necrosis, an uncontrolled and harmful form of cell death, and apoptosis, a regulated and essential process of cell death.
