Key Step In Programmed Cell Death Discovered

Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have discovered a dance of proteins that protects certain cells from undergoing apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death. Understanding the fine points of apoptosis is important to researchers seeking ways to control this process. In a series of experiments, St. Jude researchers found that if any one of three molecules is missing, certain cells lose the ability to protect themselves from apoptosis. A report on this work appears in the advance online publication of Nature.

A Dance?

You might even call this an *anti*-break dance? Eh? Eh?

I don't expect individuals with limited comprehension and study or research time to understand it. It is most certainly not off topic and would seem to indicate that you intentions may be to subdue the thought because it contradicts the fictional story industry would like to hold up as truth, either that or it is simply ignorance and an inability to respond intelligently and articulate something of value as to establish any flawed reasoning.
