How cells respond to stress and the threshold of irreversible damage
In short: Explore the biological mechanisms cells use to survive environmental pressure, and learn what happens when these adaptive strategies ultimately fail.
This video examines the four primary ways cells adapt to stress: hyperplasia, hypertrophy, atrophy, and metaplasia. It further investigates the causes and specific types of cell injury, tracing the critical transition point where damage shifts from being reversible to becoming irreversible.
