Maybe you have a typo, but not nuclear physics, molecular biology and medicine.
Programmed cell death (PCD) is an important mechanism in both development and homeostasis in adult tissues for the removal of either superfluous, infected, transformed or damaged cells by activation of an intrinsic suicide program. One form of PCD is apoptosis, which is characterized by maintenance of intact cell membranes during the suicide process so as to allow adjacent cells to engulf the dying cell so that it does not release its contents and trigger a local inflammatory reaction.
Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death or cell suicide.
