Scientists studying fruit fly cells discovered that slight changes in the protein scaffolds that support the genes "reaper" and "hid" — aptly named for their roles in triggering cell death — cause the cells to become naturally resistant to X-rays during early development.
"It turns out that a piece of DNA that is required for mediating this process of cell death is blocked," said Lei Zhou, Ph.D., an associate professor of molecular genetics and microbiology in the UF College of Medicine.

The new procedure uses robotic surgery, and results have shown it lessens the scarring, breathing problems and damage to speech that can happen with treating head and neck cancers, said William Carroll, M.D., a scientist in the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Initial tests have shown the new procedure also shortens recovery times for cancer patients.
"This application takes robotic surgery to new places in the body," said Carroll, a head and neck surgeon within UAB’s Division of Otolaryngology, and one of the first surgeons to begin using the procedure for head and neck cancers.
"There is an option for patients to have a more minimally invasive surgery, and one that could effectively remove the cancer while causing fewer side effects," he said.
Robot Adaptations Redefined
Robotic surgery is an alternative to traditional open surgery and a refinement on the concept of laparoscopic surgery, Carroll said.
