- epgui 2y agoCalling them a “prime suspect” is both true and the wrong way around. They are ubiquitous and necessary to maintain normal physiological conditions / normal function, across all cell types and in all systems. This is the reason why we are discovering that they play important roles in pathology: it’s because they’re an important part of the machinery, and things can go wrong with any part of machinery.
