Description

Subject matter experts compare and contrast the different types of cell death in homeostasis and liver injury, such as apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy, necroptosis, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis, among others. Topics include: characterization of identification of the different modalities of cell death; the role of cell death in various liver diseases; signaling cascades and molecular mechanisms of cell death; and potential therapeutic strategies.
