How is Pyknosis Different from Other Nuclear Changes?
Pyknosis is one of several nuclear morphological changes observed during cell death. It is different from other changes such as karyorrhexis and karyolysis. In karyorrhexis, the nucleus fragments into multiple pieces, while karyolysis involves the complete dissolution of the nuclear material. Pyknosis is often one of the earliest observable changes, preceding these other forms of nuclear degradation.
