The former is uncontrolled cell division, most frequently due to genome mutations. The latter is a vague term that can be anything from cancer to gradual tissue necrosis / failure to replace the cells that regularly die.

Cell failure generally results after loss of the nutrients / oxygen required to maintain protein levels and clear out cell poop. You also have cell suicide when it senses things are not as they should be and straight up bursting when too much liquid enters the cell.

The list goes on and on, but I'm not sure what point you want me to get at / how it's related to iron oxidation...
