EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library, showcases the intricate world of dividing brain cancer cells. In this colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we witness a cancerous astrocyte brain cell just after undergoing cytokinesis, or cell division. The image reveals two daughter cells that are still connected by a cytoplasmic bridge in the lower right corner. Magnified at x4000 and printed 10 centimeters wide, it allows us to delve into the microscopic details of these abnormal and replicating cells. The vibrant colors highlight the damaged nature of these unhealthy and malignant tumor cells. This visual representation sheds light on their biology and provides valuable insights for medical professionals working in oncology and neurology. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we cannot help but marvel at the complexity of our own bodies. It serves as a reminder of how diseases like brain cancer can disrupt our cellular processes and impact our central nervous system (CNS). With its detailed portrayal of microvilli projections on these glioma cells, this photograph offers an opportunity for scientists to study genetics, cytology, and cell cycle abnormalities associated with astrocytes' role in tumorigenesis. In essence, this print encapsulates both the beauty and devastation found within our biological makeup while emphasizing the ongoing battle against brain cancer.
