Caspases are a family of enzymes that play a central role in apoptosis, the programmed cell death process. They act as proteases, cleaving specific cellular proteins and leading to the dismantling and degradation of the cell. Caspases are typically activated in response to various signals and are involved in maintaining […]

Cellular necrosis refers to the premature death of cells due to irreversible damage or injury. It is characterized by cell swelling, membrane rupture, and the release of cellular contents into the surrounding tissue, triggering inflammation. Necrosis differs from programmed cell death (apoptosis) and can be caused by various factors, including […]
