Scientists studying the relationship of telomeres to cancer made a surprising discovery: a cellular recycling process called autophagy — generally thought of as a survival mechanism — actually promotes the death of cells, thereby preventing cancer initiation.
In surprising reversal, scientists find a cellular process that stops cancer before it starts
