Title: | Cancer Cells: Death (Step 5) |
---|---|
Description: |
Step-five 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. The cancer cell appears lumpy in the last stage before it dies. These lumps are actually the macrophages fused within the cancer cell (step 5). Photo magnification: x56,000.
