Cancer Cells: Death (Step 3)
| Title: | Cancer Cells: Death (Step 3) |
|---|---|
| Description: |
Step-three of 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. Macrophages begin to fuse with, and inject its toxins into, the cancer cell. The cell starts rounding up and loses its spikes (step 3). Photo magnification: x8,000.
