Karyolysis

The karyolysis (of lysis , Greek for resolution) is the full resolution of a cell nucleus by the degradation of its DNA by deoxyribonuclease . After nuclear pyknosis and karyorrhexis, karyolysis is the last step in the course of apoptosis or necrosis , which lead to the death of a cell. Nuclear pyknosis and karyorrhexis do not necessarily have to turn into karyolysis.

The term also describes the inability of a cell nucleus to stain.
