Diablo is a protein within your cells that, if activated, is essentially the cell choosing to kill itself. "Death" genes are expressed only when a cell becomes committed to death, and during fetal brain development Diablo is released from the mitochondria into the cells and kills off a huge number of neurons.

random study about it: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10929712

My level 75 Din can solo Hell Diablo with Ease :P

But seriously, aren't you misunderstanding the article?

Look at this related article

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18590557

Which is titled:

Smac/DIABLO enhances the therapeutic potential of chemotherapeutic drugs and irradiation, and sensitizes TRAIL-resistant breast cancer cells

Of course, I could be mistaken......
