Abstract

Every cell is a crime scene. There is a constant struggle between the criminals plotting to kill the cell and the detectives trying to prevent the crime. Triggering cell death requires strengthening the criminals while keeping a cell alive requires more detectives. Manipulating this crime for either side opens treatment options for various diseases such as cancer.
