Description: |
Microfilaments (red) and microtubules (green) are parts of the cell cytoskeleton, which gives cells their shape and enables them to divide and migrate, as during metastasis. Some commonly used cancer drugs, such as paclitaxel (Taxol®), target microtubules. This image was originally submitted as part of the 2015 NCI Cancer Close Up project and selected for exhibit. |
