Programmed cell death (PCD) sometimes referred to as cell, or cellular suicide[1][2][3] is the death of a cell as a result of events inside of a cell, such as apoptosis or autophagy. [4][5] …

Feb 23, 2011 · At the cellular level, death is essential for life. Apoptosis, sometimes called "cellular suicide," is a normal, programmed process of cellular self-destruction. Even though it …

Sep 28, 2023 · Cell death occurs when cells get old or damaged. Diseases and trauma also cause cell death. Apoptosis, autophagy and necrosis are the main types of cell death.

Programmed cell death is a conserved evolutionary process of cell suicide that is central to the development and integrity of eukaryotic organisms. Dysregulation of this program is …

If cells are no longer needed, they commit suicide by activating an intracellular death program. This process is therefore called programmed cell death, although it is more commonly called …

Mar 28, 2002 · Programmed cell death is a genetically regulated process of cell suicide that is central to the development, homeostasis and integrity of multicellular organisms. Conversely, …
