๐ฅ Stanford Found Immune Cells That Explode Like Tiny Bombs โ And They Can Kill Cancer Cells
Stanford scientists discovered a new type of immune cell in flatworms that self-destructs in a violent explosion, taking out dozens of surrounding cells within minutes. Named "ruptoblasts," these cells undergo a process called "ruptosis" when triggered by a specific hormone โ the most explosive form of cell death ever observed. In lab tests, the chemical cocktail they release can wipe out human cancer cells. Could ruptosis inspire a whole new class of targeted cancer treatment?
