Cell Death Pathways

Apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy, and ferroptosis

💀
Cell Death

Intrinsic Apoptosis (Mitochondrial)

Cell death triggered by internal stress via mitochondrial cytochrome c release.

BAXBAKBCL-2+7
💀
Cell Death

Extrinsic Apoptosis (Death Receptor)

Cell death initiated by death ligand-receptor interactions at the cell surface.

FasL/FasTNF/TNFR1TRAIL/DR4/DR5+4
💀
Cell Death

Autophagy

Self-digestion pathway recycling cellular components via lysosomal degradation.

ULK1 complexBeclin-1VPS34+6
💀
Cell Death

Necroptosis

Regulated necrotic cell death mediated by RIPK1-RIPK3-MLKL signaling.

RIPK1RIPK3MLKL+3
💀
Cell Death

Ferroptosis

Iron-dependent regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation.

Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺Lipid peroxides (PLOOH)Glutathione (GSH)+4
💀
Cell Death

Pyroptosis

Inflammatory cell death mediated by gasdermin pore formation.

Gasdermin DGasdermin EIL-1β+4
