Researchers suggest that cells are programmed to self-destruct when isolated from their neighbors, potentially providing a key to fighting cancer and autoimmune diseases. This discovery could lead to new treatments by understanding how to disrupt the cell's suicidal tendencies.

Discovery Of Cellular "Suicide Weapon" Opens Way To Control Of Autoimmune Disorders

Researchers at the Weizmann Institute have discovered an enzyme called MACH that triggers cellular self-destruction in autoimmune disorders like juvenile diabetes and multiple sclerosis. This finding may lead to treatments that selectively block abnormal cell death signals while allowing normal cell suicide processes to continue.
