of this chopping up the dna that happens during apoptosis it was long thought that that likely could be a major mechanism i think it still could be that the complicating factor is now we have a much better understanding that there's also dnases just floating in the plasma that are also chopping up dna so over a long chunk of dna we're released through a non-apoptosis process it would likely also become chopped up and so you know we can't do just because it's chopped up assume it comes from apoptosis so we don't know for sure i think that's an important area of research we think it's likely multifactorial apoptosis necrosis you know basically any way that a cell can die and release some of its contents into the blood
