Cancer Cells: Death (Step 2)
| Title: | Cancer Cells: Death (Step 2) |
|---|---|
| Description: |
Step-two in a six-step sequence of the death of a cancer cell. A cancer cell has migrated through the holes of a matrix coated membrane from the top to the bottom, simulating natural migration of a invading cancer cell between, and sometimes through, the vascular endothelium. A buffy coat containing red blood cells, lymphocytes and macrophages is added to the bottom of the membrane. A group of macrophages identify the cancer cell as foreign matter and start to stick to the cancer cell, which still has its spikes (step 2). Photo magnification: x4,000.
