UCI, other researchers shed light on process of programmed mitochondrial cell death

Employing a novel sensor made of graphene — a one-atom-thin layer of carbon — University of California, Irvine researchers have gained new insight into the process of programmed cell death in mitochondria, possibly opening the door to new ways of forcing cancer cells to self-destruct. They also hit a scientific jackpot of sorts by finding that an accepted paradigm of how cells create energy is only half-right.
