Cell death discovery could aid cancer treatments

LaTrobe researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery about the way dying cells are cleared from our bodies, which could have important impacts on recovery from diseases including cancer infection and inflammatory diseases. Traditionally, it was believed dying cells were broken into smaller pieces by the cell’s own internal machinery, enabling the pieces to be more easily removed from the body. However the study, led by scientists at the La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science and Research Centre for Extracellular Vesicles found that the process of dying cell fragmentation is actually assisted by neighbouring cells. Published in Science Advances, the study…
