Cell Death

A Cell Death is a cellular process that consists of a biological cell ceasing its functions.

• Example(s):
  • a Necrotic Cell Death (NCD),
  • a Programmed Cell Death (PCD),
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Cell Division.
  • Cell Differentiation.
  • Cell Migration.
  • Axon Guidance.

  • 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.
