Apoptosis vs. Necrosis
Description
Apoptosis and necrosis represent cellular mechanisms of cell death. Apoptosis involves programmed self-destruction with controlled processes, while necrosis occurs from injury or stress with uncontrolled consequences. Apoptosis is characterized by shrinkage, DNA fragmentation, and membrane blebbing, whereas necrosis involves swelling, organelle damage, and the release of cellular contents. Understanding these distinct mechanisms is crucial for studying cellular homeostasis and pathology.
