scary stuff..what does this disease do?

[H4K16Ac]

It's not a disease. It's programmed cell death. When a cell, needs to be killed off due to being heavily damaged by UV light for example, then instead of exploding the cell and having its contents spill everywhere, it's neatly disassembled. What you see in the video is the disassembling of a "bad" cell.

thanks for the simple explanation. it's hard to imagine that such complex events happen at those small scales.
