solukkuolema
Solukuolema (cell death) refers to the set of cellular processes that lead to the systematic elimination of cells. It is essential for development, maintaining tissue homeostasis, and removing damaged or dangerous cells. There are two broad categories: regulated programmed cell death and accidental cell death caused by injury.
The most studied form of programmed cell death is apoptosis, which is an orderly, energy-dependent process.
Beyond apoptosis, several other regulated forms of cell death have been identified, including necroptosis, ferroptosis, and
Dysregulation of solukuolema is linked to many diseases. For example, cancer may involve evasion of apoptosis,
