But cell death can have side effects, and if it malfunctions, our health is at stake. Share on Pinterest When cells burst and die, their contents are released, causing inflammation.

The process of necrosis, a form of cell death, may represent one of the most promising ways to change the course of human aging, disease and even space travel, according to a new study.

Inflammatory cell death plays a major role in pandemics. Yersinia pestis, the bacteria behind the Black Death, has evolved various ways of stopping human immune cells from mounting a response.

But "unprogrammed" cell death, or necrosis, is an uncontrolled and catastrophic process that leads to tissue degeneration and biological decline.
