necrosis

Definitions

Note that the word necrosis has been widely used in earlier literature to describe forms of cell death which are now known by more precise terms, such as apoptosis. Necrosis can occur in a regulated fashion, involving a precise sequence of signals; in this case, consider annotating to GO:0097300 'programmed necrotic cell death' or to its more specific child GO:0070266 'necroptotic process'. A type of cell death that is morphologically characterized by an increasingly translucent cytoplasm, swelling of organelles, minor ultrastructural modifications of the nucleus (specifically, dilatation of the nuclear membrane and condensation of chromatin into small, irregular, circumscribed patches) and increased cell volume (oncosis), culminating in the disruption of the plasma membrane and subsequent loss of intracellular contents. Necrotic cells do not fragment into discrete corpses as their apoptotic counterparts do. Moreover, their nuclei remain intact and can aggregate and accumulate in necrotic tissues.

The BioAssay Ontology integrates with OntoloBridge, allowing community users to suggest additions to the public ontology. Complete the template below to submit a term request directly to the ontology maintainer.

Term Label (required)
Suggested term name. If a term can be described with multiple synonyms, only list the preferred name here.
Example: tissue-based format

Term description (required)
A brief definition, description, or usage of your suggested term. Additional term synonyms may be listed in this section.
Example: Involves the use of a tissue derived from a living organism and is a heterogeneous assay type.

Superclass (required)
The parent term of the suggested term. The parent term should be an existing entry of the current ontology. The superclass can be selected directly from the 'Classes' viewer on Bioportal's left tree navigation.
Example: assay format

References (optional)
Provide evidence for the existence of the requested term such as PMIDs of papers or links to other resources that describe the term.

Justification (optional)
Provide any additional information about the requested term here.
