← Back to context Comment by Timsky 1 day ago Usually, it suffices to initiate apoptosis, the self-destruction mechanisms of the cells. 4 comments Timsky Reply elric 1 day 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 1 day ago It heats them until enough damage is done that they die regardless. patall 1 day ago So more like necrosis, not apoptosis. Maybe non-biologists are not aware, but apoptosis is not just cell death. hgomersall 1 day ago Or just tears them apart in the case of Histosonics.
