Melanocytes' Movement (VIDEO)

University of Iowa

Caption

Researchers at the University of Iowa tracked in real time the movement of individual healthy skin cells and those from a dangerous type of skin cancer called melanoma. This video shows healthy skin cells in action. It's a stark contrast to how melanoma cells behave, captured for the first time in continuous, real time (see second video accompanying the story).
