    GlossaryNecrosis (Cell Death)

    death of cells or tissues due to injury or disease

    Necrosis is the death of cells or tissues in the body due to factors like injury, infection, or lack of blood supply. Unlike apoptosis, which is a programmed and controlled cell death, necrosis often results in inflammation and can cause damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
