Cell survival

Cell survival refers to a cell's ability to live and function properly within the body. It depends on maintaining healthy processes like energy production, repair of damage, and regulation of internal conditions. Cells rely on nutrients, oxygen, and signals from their environment to stay alive. When these are adequate and damage is minimal, cells survive; if not, they can die through programmed (apoptosis) or accidental (necrosis) processes. Overall, cell survival is essential for the health of tissues, organs, and the entire organism.
