processes controlling when and how cells die

Regulation of cell death refers to the processes that control when and how cells die, ensuring that damaged or unnecessary cells are removed in a controlled manner. This is crucial for maintaining healthy tissues and organs, and involves mechanisms like apoptosis (programmed cell death) and necrosis (uncontrolled cell death). Proper regulation prevents diseases such as cancer, where cells avoid death and proliferate uncontrollably, or degenerative diseases, where excessive cell death occurs.
