Other related terms include apoptosis, which is a type of programmed cell death, and necrosis, which is a type of cell death caused by injury or disease. These terms are often used interchangeably, but each has a unique meaning and application in the study of cell biology. Understanding these terms can help researchers and medical professionals better understand the processes that lead to cell death, and develop new treatments and therapies to prevent it.
