👉 Colpoptosis refers to the phenomenon where cells in a tissue or organ are destroyed by an immune response. This can happen when a tumor is removed from a patient, and the immune system recognizes it as cancerous and attacks it. Colpoptosis can occur in a variety of tissues, including the heart, lung, liver, brain, and bone marrow. It is often associated with cancer, but it can also be a side effect of certain medications or treatments.
