Type: type of cell death
Necrosis is a type of cell death that occurs when cells are damaged or injured, leading to the loss of cellular homeostasis and the eventual death of the cell. Necrosis is a non-programmed form of cell death, meaning that it is not a deliberate or controlled process, but rather a response to cellular damage or injury.
