π¬ Stanford Discovered an Immune Cell That Explodes Like a Bomb β and May Hold Cancer Clues
Stanford researchers found a brand-new type of immune cell in flatworms called a "ruptoblast" β and when triggered, it self-destructs in minutes, taking out roughly 70 surrounding cells in a process dubbed "ruptosis." It's the most explosive form of cell death ever recorded in biology. Researchers say this ultra-fast, targeted attack could inspire new ways to fight infections and cancer. Do you think nature is still hiding bigger immune system surprises?
