Under the Microscope - A T-Cell Lays the Smack Down on a Cancer Cell
Cambridge University has a great series going that takes us under the microscope. Here’s an awesome new one that features a cytotoxic T-cell attacking a cancer cell.
This is a process that goes on in your body all the time, with T-cells like this acting as cellular sentries and eliminating diseased and haywire cells from your body (by destroying them, of course). Your body is a battlefield.

THESE SOME GREAT REAL PICTURES OF YOUR IMMUNE CELLS. ALL OF THEM ARE CIRCULATING IN YOUR BODY AND WORKING 24/7 TO PREVENT YOU FROM GETTING INFECTION AND FALL SICK. ^^
AREN’T YOU AMAZED BY THESE? WELL, I AM.
MY NEXT EXAM PAPER: IMMUNOLOGY~ DANG~~~~
Mammalian cell collage stained for various proteins and organelles, assembled into a wreath (200-2000X)
Happy Christmas! :)
Astrocyte brain cells. Immunofluorescent light micrograph of brain cells from the cortex of a mammalian brain. The nucleus of each cell is stained blue and cytoplasm stained green. Many star-shaped cells, known as astrocytes are seen. These have numerous branches of connective tissue which provide support and nutrition to the neurones (nerve cells). Astrocytes may also play a role in information storage. The blue nuclei of other cells are also seen. Immunofluorescence is a staining technique which uses antibodies to attach fluorescent dyes to specific tissues and molecules in the cell.
kawaii unicellular organisms because I can.
for my biology report.
adorbz!!!
amoeba goes whoooooshhhh
here, enjoy these cell diagrams I did for a class instead! from left to right they are bacteria, animal, and plant cells
these are precious! :)
