Understanding Programmed Cell Death
Abstract: Recent studies emphasize the critical role of various types of programmed cell death (PCD) such as apoptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, and necroptosis, as well as their respective signaling pathways. These processes are essential for regulating cellular balance, responding to stress, and triggering immune defenses. Apoptosis, commonly known as "cellular suicide," is a tightly controlled mechanism that allows cells to die without inducing inflammation. This process is key for tissue development, immune …
