The Cell Death Encyclopedia

The Cell Death Encyclopedia is a comprehensive database that catalogs various types and mechanisms of cell death, helping scientists understand how and why cells die. Cell death is a natural process essential for development, immune responses, and maintaining healthy tissues. The encyclopedia provides detailed information on different pathways, such as apoptosis (programmed cell death) and necrosis (uncontrolled cell death), including molecular details and biological significance. This resource aids researchers in studying diseases like cancer and neurodegeneration, and in developing targeted treatments by offering insights into the complex processes controlling cell survival and demise.
