Not surprising, she had cancer, meaning her tumor cell's DNA lost their telomeres; which normally regulate mitosis, and eventually lead to death by limiting the maximum number of times the cells divide.

So if the cancer was supposed to have limited the number of times her cells could divide, then how were hers able to be taken and replicated ad infinitum?

Nah, I major in Computer & Electrical Engineering. And I have an excellent memory.

Is the grammatically incorrect semi-colon throwing you off or do you just not know how to read?

Google U need to teach their students proper usage of a semi-colon.

yeah...all it does is replace words like but and and.

I knows...

Normally, cells have a finite number of times they divide based on the length of their telomeres. When someone has cancer, their cell's telomeres keep growing longer, so their cells don't stop dividing. If cancerous had a limited number of times they could perform mitosis, eventually the all cancer would die out on its own.

That's not so complicated after all. Still though, her story is pretty interesting when you consider all the biological testing that was being run on Black folk back in the fifties--without their knowing.

The semi-colon was mainly used to join the clause about her cancer with the clause about the function of telomeres; the semi-colon was also used to prevent confusion based on both clauses using multiple commas.

SMH @ This mistake. They lost their telomeres' ends, not the telomeres themselves.

I read this,they stole the tumor and examined on it experimenting,then told her daughter later on what they did to find out some stuff.
