Melanoma Cells in Action (VIDEO)

University of Iowa

Caption

Researchers at the University of Iowa tracked in real time the movement of individual cells from a dangerous type of skin cancer called melanoma. The video shows how melanoma cells aggressively move and join with other melanoma cells to mostly form one large tumor. It's believed to be the first time that melanoma tumor creation has been shown in continuous, real time.
