Cell death has been divided into two main types: PCD (Programmed Cell Death), in which the cell plays an active role, and Necrotic (passive) cell death. PCD is a form of cell death in which the cell plays an active role in its own demise. In contrast, Necrosis is characterized by swelling of the cell and its organelles; that results in disruption of the cell membrane and cell lysis. The PCD observed during development and tissue homeostasis has been classified morphologically into three main types: type 1, also known as nuclear or apoptotic; type 2 or Autophagic; and type 3, also referred to as Cytoplasmic. Apoptosis is the best characterized type of PCD, in which the cells display membrane blebbing, [...]
