Pathogenesis of Cell Injury: Definition, Types, and mechanism

Cell damage can be either reversible or irreversible, depending on the extent and severity of the injury. When the cellular response is adaptive, homeostasis is maintained, and the damage can be repaired. However, when the injury (or stress) is too severe for the cell to repair itself, cell death ensues. The outcome of cell injury […]

Cell Injury in Disease: Definition, Types, and Mechanism

Cell injury is a fundamental component in the pathology of almost all diseases. It is defined as an alteration in cell structure or biochemical functioning due to stress that exceeds the cell’s capacity to adapt through normal physiological mechanisms. Cell injury occurs when cells are subjected to severe stress, exposed to damaging agents, or suffer […]
