what microscope is this?

[samhdz]

may I ask where the music is from? =) it's what intrigued me more than the process of apoptosis itself

[ahmedbr]

@samhdz Same here. Let me know if you find out!

[itwasnotme123]

every must die one time or other, heart and brain cell only grow for certain and stop

[jaekib]

That’s beautiful. A living cell sacrificing itself so that others may live...perhaps forever.

@jaekib O_O

I thought cells don't really "think"

[jesuistahmid]

@hematitecrow they technically dont... it all works under chemical influence. for example, a t-cell may come and bind to a and recruit death domains that starts apoptosis.

[sabriath]

Awak666: Apoptosis has nothing to do with living longer, it is a reaction governed by cells for either emergency (in case the cell comes under attack) or a time factor (to recycle old cells and bring in new). Death cannot be quantified because the individual cells of the body are still working after death, and we currently have no way to discern death of the body from which cells actually die to produce it. We can only check a pulse and declare it.

Your English makes me cry.

A cell is made of atoms/molecules Atoms are the building blocks of everything - ithe smallest possible particle. Oxygen as you know it is actually a molecule, it is actually two oxygen atoms. A single oxygen atom is not stable, so the oxygen you know is known as O2. If someone says however that a molecule contains oxygen, then mean a single oxygen not O2. But hte oxygen you breathe is O2. (the 2 is usually small)

Atmoms are made up of quarks, and it is believed quarks are made of "strings".

@Awak666 Every cell in your body undergoes division and aptosis. Hair is dead cells.. finger nails.. that is the visible. Atoms make up cells, cells make up tissues.. tissues make up organs, and that makes up systems--- all the way to us. Our composition undergoes aptosis... so then... why do we wish to be immortal and not accept the inevitable... I'll tell you why, because some of us haven't hit supreme intelligence... and that in my dictionary... means... "acceptance".

[philipjterry]

So, the question is how can we influence cells to divide seamlessly without errors?

[jaekib]

@philipjterry On influencing cells without reproductive errors, I’m afraid we can’t fight probabilities. You may be able to work up the mathematical model or new boolean-like mathematics to redesign the genome, but genetics has worked on the problem for billions of years, and we aren’t likely to shift it without creating a whole new order of species. But it’s not at all a dim view. We can focus on handling the broken cells though.

@Awak666 first off thumbs down for ignorance... I'm no expert but in the fields of chemistry or biology but this is obvious stuff. Atoms make up chemical compound (molecules of stuff, a water molecule is h20, to parts hydrogen one part oxygen) which make up cells. So lots of atoms make up cells

im still getting comments from a comment 9 months ago ,

First of all to portray ignorance is bliss

a wise mine says very little but the wisest of all

men say nothing at all .

But im sure your good at whatever it is you do

[pivotcamzer0]

no!!! Billy wait dont go!!!!! *nom nom nom* HES GONE SAVE UR SELF HE CANT HELLLLLP lol hes gone now

[mcalisurf]

bazi91 your funny lol

[messengercrow]

the culture has got so much bacteria...

[bazi91]

bacteria? what are you talking about? these aren't bacteria, these are CELLs...

[messengercrow]

no, they are bacteria, I looked again, the second movie....the little black dots are bacteria.

[bazi91]

i also watched it again, and you're right. I'm sorry, but thanks for sharing your knowledge with me. :)

[thatguyzyx]

@bazi91 bacteria are cells they are just unicellular.... the ignorance of youtube astounds

[IammeoramI]

You need all those charecters to spell apoptosis?
