Researchers from the US found an amazing answer.
The death of a cell begins with the damage of one of its parts, which leads to the release of a chemical, the so-called "death signal". This conclusion was reached by scientists James Ferrell and Xianzhuy Cheng from Stanford University in the USA.
According to them, this substance triggers a "trigger wave," or a chain reaction that gradually affects other parts of the cell, releasing the same "signals".
In addition, after the death of one cell, this process will continue on neighboring cells. According to scientists, the "trigger wave" will spread until the "death signal", that is, until its complete death, is completed in the body.
The speed of this "wave" scientists and called the rate of cell death, which is 30 micrometers per minute (1.8 millimeters per hour).
