After graduating, he went to the University of California, Davis, and settled on investigating the genetic regulation of programmed cell death in plants.

The function of these genes were involved in molecular maintenance strategies, such as DNA repair, chromosomal maintenance, immune response and programmed cell death The authors argue that the «slower rate of change in these functions is consistent with increased constraint on somatic cell maintenance as would be required in these relatively long - lived and large - bodied mammals, illustrated by the additional large and long - lived species with slower rates in these genes (e.g. double - strand break repair gene XRCC4 is also highly constrained in elephant.»

PD - 1 (programmed cell death protein 1) is a receptor on the surface of T cells (the white blood cells that are part of the immune system), while PD - L1 (programmed death - ligand 1) is a molecule that binds to PD - 1 and is often over-expressed on the surface of cancer cells, enabling them to evade the immune system and allow cancer to grow and spread.

Students in the UBC program engage in a wide range of research: molecular mechanisms underlying cell proliferation in cancer or cell death in stroke; relating gene mutations to disease mechanisms; the social factors that determine access to health care for women living on the street.

During programmed cell death («apoptosis»), a lipid usually found on the inner side of the cell membranes, specifically phosphatidylserine (PS), shifts to the surface, making itself readily available to any passing cellular stranger.

Key concepts in apoptosis (programmed cell death) are described, along with more detailed information on the individual parameters of apoptosis.

This more recent study not only supports earlier findings, but sheds new light on the molecular mechanisms taking part in programmed cell death, paving the way for future studies of anti-cancer effects of strawberries and other foods.
