Creeping T-cells

Caption

The picture shows the movement of creeping T-cells (green) inside blood vessels (red) over a period of about 20 minutes. It clearly shows that some T-cells leave the blood vessels -- the long exposure lets them leave a green trail as the cells make their way through the brain tissue.
