Can Pathological Cell Death be Prevented or Treated?
While it is often challenging to reverse pathological cell death once it has occurred, certain strategies can mitigate its impact:
Antioxidants: These can reduce oxidative stress, which is a common cause of cell death. Anti-inflammatory Drugs: These can help manage the inflammatory response associated with necrosis. Gene Therapy: Emerging therapies aim to correct genetic defects that lead to pathological cell death. Regenerative Medicine: Techniques such as stem cell therapy hold promise for replacing lost or damaged tissues.
