What Are the Implications of Compromised Cellular Integrity?
When cellular integrity is compromised, it can lead to a range of pathological conditions:
Inflammation: Damaged cells can trigger an inflammatory response, leading to tissue damage. Cancer: Loss of cellular integrity can lead to uncontrolled cell division and tumor formation. Degenerative Diseases: Conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's involve the loss of cellular integrity in specific tissues.
