BREAST CANCER ATTACKS A ZEBRA FISH!


AN EARLY CAMPING TRIP
The tent still exists.
The truck is long gone.
Linda lingers in our memories; forever, I hope.

The new technology being brought to bare on cancer research is mind-boggling.  Here is a short article on a development that allows researchers to actually SEE how a cancer cell makes its way along a blood vessel – caught, you might say, in the act of metastasizing..  The videos show breast cancer cells attacking a zebra fish.  Zebra fish, you will remember, are transparent – making them very useful in the lab, poor little devils.  Anyway: take a quick peak at this article.
