Dead Cell Membrane

Molecular classification: Cell Membrane, Lipid Bilayer

Overview

The dead cell membrane refers to the plasma membrane of a cell that has lost viability due to cell death processes like apoptosis or necrosis. It is characterized by a disrupted phospholipid bilayer, increased permeability, and release of intracellular contents, leading to inflammation and potential damage to surrounding tissues. While not a therapeutic target itself, it serves as a marker for cell death and is relevant in understanding disease mechanisms and developing therapies that affect apoptosis or necrosis.
