A new study reveals that injured cells can rapidly expel waste through a process called cathartocytosis to accelerate healing, a mechanism that may also increase cancer risk but could help in early detection of precancerous conditions.
Scientists discovered a new cellular process called cathartocytosis, where injured cells rapidly purge waste to revert to a stem cell-like state for quick healing, but this process may also increase the risk of chronic inflammation and cancer, especially in the context of stomach injury and infections like H. pylori.
