| Description: |
This image shows a triple-negative breast cancer cell (MDA-MB-231) during cell division. Tubulin in red; mitochondria in green; chromosomes in blue. A better understanding of how mitochondria play roles in tumor cell division may provide new therapeutic targeting strategies to stop tumor cell growth. This image was originally submitted as part of the 2016 NCI Cancer Close Up project. |
