Figure 1 Various forms of programmed cell death. Programmed cell death is a crucially controlled form of cell death, where different pathways regulate the process. Programmed cell death (PCD) is necessary to maintain cell homeostasis, control growth, and support immunity. PCD primarily occurs in two forms: Apoptotic and non-apoptotic. Non-apoptotic forms of cell death have been studied only in the past decade, including ferroptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis.
