Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms. It plays a crucial role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and eliminating damaged or harmful cells.
Necrosis: Uncontrolled cell death caused by external factors such as trauma or infection.
Oxidative Stress: An imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body, leading to cell damage.
Inflammation: The body's response to injury or infection, which can become chronic if not regulated properly.
