What Are the Consequences of Loss of Cell Membrane Integrity?
The loss of cell membrane integrity can have severe consequences, including:
Cell Death: Disruption of the membrane can lead to apoptotic or necrotic cell death. Impaired Cellular Function: The loss of membrane integrity can impair essential cellular functions such as nutrient uptake, waste elimination, and signal transduction. Oxidative Stress: Increased permeability may lead to oxidative stress, exacerbating cellular damage.
