Cells That Cheat Death and Repair Themselves | Health and Fitness News
Scientists have uncovered “cheat death” cells that trigger self-destruction but survive to rebuild damaged tissue—boosting healing but potentially helping cancers rebound stronger. First spotted in 1970s fruit fly larvae, this resilience is now mapped by Weizmann researchers: caspases, usually cell-killers, paradoxically help certain cells become damage-resistant. These DARE cells multiply and recruit NARE cells to repair wounds—but cancer may hijack the same trick, making tumors tougher to treat. A double-edged sword: a lifesaving mechanism with dangerous implications. Listen in comfort:Get…
