I was curious, why is this useful? Who wants to detect dead cells?!

Many people - what do you think cancer chemotherapy drugs do??

cancer chemotherapy drugs kill cells? Does cell death detection help cancer chemotherapy? That'd be interesting

If you want to know how and why your cells are dying - then yes, it is helpful for cancer research

That is true, thanks very much Could you possibly think of any other applications in which the technique can be used?

I think that  Diabetes and hypertension genetic can not be disregarded as most of such ailment could be inherited, thank you.
