MEXICO: Scientists have captured the moment a white blood cell dies – and the results are spectacular.
In a world first, scientists at Melbourne’s La Trobe University have used time lapse microscopy to show the explosion where beaded structures, like a beaded necklace, shoot from a dying cell.
Cell biologist Georgia Atkin-Smith said the team had shown that cells go through regulated stages of death, unlike previous research which suggested it was a random occurrence.
Scientists still don’t know why the cell shoots out these long beads of essential molecules, but it could hold the key to improved medical treatments for inflammatory diseases.
