What is another word for cell death?
Pronunciation: [sˈɛl dˈɛθ] (IPA) 
Cell death is a term used to describe the cessation of cellular function and can occur through various mechanisms. While often used interchangeably with apoptosis, which is a genetically programmed form of cell death, there are many synonyms for cell death, including necrosis, pyroptosis, autophagy, and anoikis. Necrosis is the process in which cells die due to injury or lack of oxygen, while pyroptosis is a form of cell death resulting from inflammation or infection. Autophagy is a self-destructive process in which cells digest their own components, and anoikis is cell death caused by the detachment from a cell's extracellular matrix. Understanding the different synonyms for cell death can help researchers better understand the mechanisms underlying cellular function and disease progression.
