So many routes to cell death

Image
The knowledge of cell death has been updated from time to time. I used to know only three main pathways back to the old day, apoptosis (intrinsic and extrinsic), necrosis, and autophagy. When exposing myself on DNA damage and repair research field, the more I dig the more I feel the cell has so many systems to protect the genetic materials, if the genetic materials are at risk, the cell would not pass along the wrong genetic materials to the next generation. Exceptionally, the cell has a defect in the protective system. I got this image from this paper: Molecular mechanisms of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2018 (doi: 10.1038/s41418-017-0012-4) It concludes up-to-date information as well as nomenclature of cell death.

Polyglots

I would like to mark for myself for trying to learn the new language. Polyglots are the person who is able to speak multi-languages. One of the comment pick up the key messages from the talks. 1.Polyglots don't have a special talent! 15:07 2.Every polyglot has their own method 16:34 3.Polyglots learn languages mostly by themselves 17:08 4.Polyglots create their own language material 18:31 5.Polyglots learn one language at a time 19:12 6.Polyglots spend much more time listening and speaking 20:32 7.Polyglots are not afraid to make mistakes 23:12 8.Polyglots have mastered the art of simplification 24:50 9.Polyglots learn in small chunks 26:20 10.Polyglots enjoy learning languages 27:10
