📌A new study held at the University of Haifa has identified for the first time a process involving the “murder” of live newly-generated cells. The study, published in the prestigious journal Science Advances, found that phagocytic cells swallow and dissolve normal live cells during the process of cellular differentiation in fruit flies. “We found that phagocytes can function as ‘murderers.’ It is well-known that phagocytic cells swallow and dissolve dead cells, but we show for the first time that they also kill newly-created normal cells. Essentially we have characterized a new mechanism of cell death. The more we know the mechanisms of cell death, the better we understand how to cope with various diseases, particularly cancer”, explained Prof. Hilla Toledano, head of the Department of Human Biology at the University of Haifa, the author of the study. #biology#cancer...
