Since the deadly brew could be inactivated by boiling or adding protein - chopping enzymes — both of which destroy the function of proteins — Wang believes the «killing factor» released by the dying cells is a protein.

One aspect of gene regulation involves enzymes placing chemical tags or modifications on histone proteins — which control a cell's access to the DNA sequences that make up a gene.

The key to immortalization is an enzyme called telomerase, which keeps chromosomes healthy in cells that divide frequently.

In a healthy mother, this enzyme is activated by hormones like insulin and insulin - growth factors (IGFs), kick - starting a relay race within cells which stimulates nutrient uptake and, as a result, normal growth and metabolic function.
