Cell Injury and Cell Death
Cell Injury and Cell Death
About
About
This MOOC gives an overview of the factors causing cell injury-chemical, physical, intrinsic to the cell. It discuss the variety of cell adaptations (physiological as well as pathological) to this injuries and the various types of cell death which cells could undergo in case of inability to adapt: programmed or non-programmed type of cell death: apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis, etc. and their plentiful subtypes. All of this cell death subtypes are discussed in great detail to their molecular mechanism. Specifically, accent has been made to the processes of apoptosis and autophagy. The latter is also discussed in light of its therapeutic and wellbeing modulatory potentials.
