Published in Cell Biology 1 min read

Approximately 60 to 86.4 billion cells die in the human body every day.

According to research, the number of cells that die daily in a human body varies. Here's a breakdown based on the provided references:

  • Estimate 1: Some estimate around 60 billion cells die every day [42].
  • Estimate 2: Others estimate approximately one million cells die every second, which equates to 86.4 billion cells per day [43, 44, 45, 46].

These cell deaths are a normal part of bodily function but can also be due to pathological reasons.
