Radiation and most forms of chemo work by physically shredding the cells' DNA or disrupting the copying machinery.
But neither radiation nor chemotherapeutic drugs target only cancer cells.
So, what happens when different cells get hit?
When you take a chemotherapeutic drug, it will hit all of these cells.
And, there are other frequently dividing cells in your body like skin cells, gut cells, and blood cells.
That makes sense because these are the cells that get hit the hardest.
Cancer hijacks cells' natural division machinery and forces them to put the pedal to the metal, growing rapidly and recklessly.
At each step of this process, energy is released, and that energy is absorbed by the cells of the digestive tract.
Light perception happens in a paper-thin layer of cells, called the retina, that covers the back of your eyeball.
In the retina, there are two different types of light-detecting cells: rods and cones.
There three kinds of cone cells that roughly correspond to the colors red, green, and blue.
Well, the rod cells in your retina take over in low-light conditions.
Corals are born in a number of different ways, but most often by mass spawning: all of the individuals of a single species on one night a year, releasing all the eggs they've made that year into the water column, packaged into bundles with sperm cells.
If we were to zoom in on a salmon, which is a fatty fish, past the organs, past the tissues, into the cells, we would see that the stuff we call fat is actually made up of molecules called triglycerides, and they are not all alike.

Stem cells beneath the lining of your intestines replace these cells as they wear out.
Scientists hope that stem cells could be used to create a very special kind of personalized medicine in which we could replace your own body parts with, well, your own body parts.
Stem cell researchers are working hard to find ways in which to use stem cells to create new tissue to replace the parts of organs that are damaged by injury or disease.
Using stem cells to replace damaged bodily tissue is called regenerative medicine.
For example, scientists currently use stem cells to treat patients with blood diseases such as leukemia.
Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside your bones where your blood cells are created.
In leukemia, some of the cells inside your bone marrow grow uncontrollably, crowding out the healthy stem cells that form your blood cells.
These new stem cells will create the blood cells needed by the patient's body.
There are actually multiple kinds of stem cells that scientists can use for medical treatments and research.
Adult stem cells or tissue-specific stem cells are found in small numbers in most of your body's tissues.
