Evil Envoys (VIDEO)

University of Iowa

Caption

Researchers at the University of Iowa tracked in real time the movement of individual cancerous breast tissue cells. The video shows how the cancerous cells extend and probe for other cells, then reel in cells to form ever-larger tumors. It's believed to be the first time that tumor creation has been shown in continuous, real time.
