New Cellular Mechanism Helps Cells Heal Faster

When cells are harmed, they produce well-regulated responses that promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction mechanism that eliminates dead and damaged cells, as well as a more recently discovered phenomenon that allows older cells to return to a younger state to aid in the regeneration of healthy tissue.
