Cell Death Today

The three most well-understood modalities of regulated cell death differ in their triggers, molecular executioners, and physiological impacts:

Cell death is a fundamental biological process essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis, shaping embryonic development, and defending against pathogens . Modern research classifies cell death into two primary categories: , an uncontrolled and chaotic response to severe physical or chemical injury, and Regulated Cell Death (RCD) , which follows precise genetically encoded signaling pathways.
