Necrosis involves the death of a cell, often leading to the spillage of its contents into surrounding areas, which can damage adjacent cells. This damage can occur through mechanisms such as glutamatergic excitotoxicity, where the excessive release of glutamate overactivates glutamate receptors, leading to cell injury and death.
