Apoptosis under microscope

Apoptosis is the death of a cell, a process where the body eliminates old, damaged, or unnecessary cells in a controlled way. It’s like the body’s natural cleanup system, preventing diseases like cancer by ensuring cells don’t grow uncontrollably. Essentially, this is how death looks at the microscopic level, with cells breaking down in an orderly fashion. | Dr.Weird
