[Ageing and necrotic form of "unwanted" cells]
Abstract:
Collecting experimental data testify that cellular necrosis is the same component of "unwanted" cell system elimination in a metaphyte, as well as apoptosis. The essential role of the last in definition of rates of ageing is expressed, in particular, in secretion by phagocytes of the factors overwhelming inflammatory reactions which are rather characteristic for such illnesses as an atherosclerosis, a diabetes and others. Apparently, infringement of balance between necrotic and apoptotic forms "unwanted" cell elimination from an organism can be the important factor of ageing and the reason of reduction of life expectancy as a result of supression of renewal processes in an organism, occurrence and weights of development of some senile illness.

Morphological Manifestations of Necrosis
Necrotic cells show different types of morphological appearance depending on the type of tissue and infection. In coagulative necrosis, cells become anucleated and die, but their...

Overview of Cell Death
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the 20th century...

Normal cells contain receptors that prevent them from being recognized by phagocytes.
