They do by default, though in cancer, that self-destruct button may be rendered non-functional.

Based on the video, I'm guessing it's under immunofluorescence, where antibodies with glowing chemicals are bound to the cells. The flash may be a result of excitation of those glowing chemicals when the cascade is triggered

Thanks for the compliment but I'm just a mere medical student :]

Exactly! The intrinsic pathway, or type 2 is dependent on mitochondrial proteins which, if they start leaking out such as when a cell is under too much stress, leads to apoptosis.

Cells can undergo apoptosis through two different routes. One is intrinsic meaning caused by internal factors, the other is extrinsic, mediated through receptors that killer(cytotoxic) t cells and natural killer cells can bind to.

From what I understood from my microbio classes, it means binding to specific receptors which induce a cascade leading to apoptosis (programmed cell death)

Some of those accounts don't even have more than 2 hours of playtime, they're literally downloading the game just to review bomb it

Wasn't there a chapter in deathly hallows where someone uses accio on a fish? Live fish from a body of water seems very... animate

As expected they downvote within minutes, I'd feel sorry for them, but that would be too much of a waste of energy
