Cell death modalities: Classification and pathophysiological implications

The article focuses on the classification and pathophysiological implications of cell death modalities. Cell death is classified according to the morphological appearance of the lethal process, enzymological criteria, and immunological characteristics. This can be express through the equation programmed cell death=apoptosis=caspase activation=non-immunogenic cell death, however, this equation is only correct in selected instances and incorrect as a generalization at multiple levels. &nbsp
