← Back to context Comment by Timsky 2 months ago Usually, it suffices to initiate apoptosis, the self-destruction mechanisms of the cells. 4 comments Timsky Reply elric 2 months ago I doubt ultrasound would trigger apoptosis in cancer cells, one of the reasons they're cancerous is that they refuse to commit suicide when they should. snovv_crash 2 months ago It heats them until enough damage is done that they die regardless. patall 2 months ago So more like necrosis, not apoptosis. Maybe non-biologists are not aware, but apoptosis is not just cell death. hgomersall 2 months ago Or just tears them apart in the case of Histosonics.
