| Title: | Mitochondrial Shape in Pancreatic Cancer |
|---|---|
| Description: |
This image shows mitochondrial staining (red) and nuclear staining (blue) of abnormal pancreatic ducts from a mouse model of human pancreatic ductal carcinoma. Mitochondrial shape changes occur throughout the progression of pancreatic cancer and the machinery that regulates the dynamics of mitochondria may be a promising new therapeutic target in the fight against this disease. This image was originally submitted as part of the 2016 NCI Cancer Close Up project. |
