    In multicellular organisms, cells that are no longer needed or are a threat to the organism are destroyed by a tightly regulated cell suicide process known as programmed cell death, or apoptosis. Apoptosis is mediated by proteolytic enzymes called caspases, which trigger cell death by cleaving specific proteins in the cytoplasm and nucleus.

  7. Apoptosis – Definition and Importance - Science Notes and Projects

    https://sciencenotes.org/apoptosis-definition-and-importance/

    Apoptosis is a highly regulated and controlled process that unfolds in distinct stages, each characterized by specific cellular changes and biochemical events. Initiation: Internal or external signals trigger the apoptosis pathways. Early Apoptosis: Key indicators include cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation, and membrane blebbing.
