Cell Death & Differentiation

Cell death and differentiation are essential processes in our bodies. Cell death, or apoptosis, is a natural way for the body to remove damaged, unnecessary, or old cells, maintaining healthy tissue. Differentiation is when unspecialized cells develop into specific types with unique functions, like becoming muscle, skin, or nerve cells. Together, these processes help shape, maintain, and repair our tissues, ensuring proper growth and health. Proper regulation of cell death and differentiation is vital; errors can lead to diseases such as cancer or developmental disorders.
