Necrosis vs. Apoptosis

Apoptosis and Necrosis are the variants of cell death. Necrosis is caused by external factors and apoptosis is a naturally occurring programmed cell death.

Highlights. Apoptosis and necrosis are the two major modes of cell death. Apoptosis and necrosis were initially considered as mutually exclusive states.

Cell death was once believed to be the result of one of two distinct processes, apoptosis (also known as programmed cell death) or necrosis (uncontrolled cell ...

Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that happens when cells naturally self-destruct or die. With apoptosis or programmed cell death, cells die when ...

Here, we summarize the latest discoveries in the three most well understood modalities of cell death, namely, apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis.

The second way is by necrosis, which is when cells die due to injury or disease. Overall, apoptosis occurs much more often than necrosis. One example is when ...

Apoptosis is viewed as a naturally occurring process while necrosis is a pathological process. Pathological processes are caused by toxins, ...

There are two main cell death types: programmed cell death called apoptosis and unprogrammed cell death due to cell injury: necrosis.

Apoptosis is described as an active, programmed process of autonomous cellular dismantling that avoids eliciting inflammation. Necrosis has been characterized as passive, accidental cell death resulting from environmental perturbations with uncontrolle
