Our body is usually really good at picking up mistakes that are made in the DNA when cells divide or killing cells that have mutated. Sometimes though, our body won’t pick up on and remove these cells. If some cells accumulate enough mutations and lose control of their replication, they will uncontrollably divide and start to invade other tissues (if left untreated)- that is what I call cells gone rogue!

When we are healthy, cells are like factories that are well organized and each one has its own function without disturbing other cells. When there is a problem in this factory, cells stop to be organized and start to accumulate one in top of the other causing damage and finally leading to tumors or cancer, that’s what’s understood as cells going rogue!
