Scientists were able to see the very death! And capture it on video Bashny.Net

The researchers recorded the death process on the example of a worm whose body from cell to cell spread of blue fluorescent waves, until the whole body is not dead.



The mechanism of death of individual cells is well understood: it causes a chemical chain reaction that leads to the destruction of parts of cells and the formation of molecular debris. However, until now, scientists had little idea of ​​how "death" spread throughout the body. Examining a microscope dying worms, the researchers noticed how blue light waves pass through the intestines.

According to a study published in the «PloS Biology», cell death (necrosis) is distributed throughout the body due to a chemical reaction with the participation of calcium contained in the cells.

"Taking into account all the data, we have questioned the popular theory that old age comes along as cells accumulate molecular damage. After studying the biological component of the process of aging and death, we will be able to understand how to stop them, "- says Professor James
