Inflammatory cell death is a type of cell death that occurs in response to inflammation, often triggered by infections, injuries, or diseases. This process can lead to the release of cellular contents that may further promote inflammation, potentially causing damage to surrounding tissues. It plays a significant role in various conditions, including autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammatory disorders. There are different mechanisms of inflammatory cell death, such as pyroptosis, necrosis, and apoptosis. Each mechanism has distinct characteristics and outcomes, influencing how the body responds to stress or injury. Understanding these processes is crucial for developing treatments for inflammatory diseases.
