| Image Description: |
|
In a classical laboratory experiment which all first-year nanomedical students are required to perform, the simple mechanical drilling of a small tumor mass (seen in foreground) induces nonspecific adhesions of red cells and later of other cells in vitro, thus demonstrating once again the age-old wisdom of avoiding mechanical necrotic cell lysis in vivo, in favor of apoptotic or digestive mechanisms. |
