Diseases are Associated with Cell Death
Words: 377 Pages: 1 5997Regulation of cell death is vital for development, pathogenesis, and homeostasis. Both acute and chronic diseases are associated with excessive cell death, which results in tissue damage. Caspase-dependent apoptosis is a type of programmed cell death implicated in both normal and disease pathogenesis. Ferroptosis is distinct from other cell death modalities based on morphological, biochemical, and genetic criteria. Ferroptosis is a pathogenic programmed cell death characterized by the iron-mediated production of toxic lipid hydroperoxides. This unique form of cell death […]
