Cellular Health (VIDEO)

Caption

Researchers at the University of Iowa tracked in real time the movement of individual, healthy cells and cancerous breast tissue cells. This video shows that healthy breast tissue cells remain separated. The healthy cells' activity is in marked contrast to cancerous cells, which extend and probe for other cells, then reel in cells to form ever-larger tumors.
