Apoptosis: The Molecular Mechanism of Programmed Cell Death (Short Notes)
What is Apoptosis? Why apoptosis is known as the ‘Programmed Cell Death’? The total number of cells in an organ or organism is fundamentally fixed to a specific range in all multicellular organisms. In every multi-cellular organism, the cell number is effectively controlled by two strategies- (a) by regulating cell […]

Difference between Necrosis and Apoptosis: A Comparison Table
Apoptosis vs Necrosis Apoptosis and Necrosis Apoptosis and Necrosis are two types of cell death occur in organisms. The cells undergo death when the cell death becomes necessary as a part of developmental process or they fail to adapt to injuries. Both these types of cell deaths differ in their […]
