Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms. It is a crucial mechanism for maintaining cellular health and homeostasis.
Necrosis: Uncontrolled cell death due to injury or infection.
Cell Homeostasis: The balance of cell proliferation and death to maintain tissue stability.
Neurodegeneration: The progressive loss of structure or function of neurons, often associated with diseases like Alzheimer's.
