    cells undergoing controlled self-destruction to maintain tissue health

    Apoptotic cells are cells that are undergoing apoptosis, which is a form of programmed cell death. This process is a natural and controlled way for the body to remove damaged, unnecessary, or potentially harmful cells without causing inflammation. Apoptosis is crucial for maintaining healthy tissue function and development, and its dysregulation can lead to diseases such as cancer or autoimmune disorders.
