Movie on study in Science

Illustration sencory cell
The film shows the movements of a sensory cell of the inner ear. The sensory cell is oblong and the hairs are sticking out from the top of the cell. In reality the sensory cell moves about 200 times per second, but here the movements have been slowed down to make them visible to the human eye.

Systems microscopy film 1
The film shows migrating human skeletal cancer (osteosarcoma) cells. The cells are genetically manipulated to display fluorescent markers at the anchoring points of the cell to the underlying surface. The film was made by using so-called confocal microscopy of high resolution, and merging films from 169 adjacent microscopic fields into one movie. The cells are color coded to facilitate tracking. The film was produced by John Lock, Center for Biosciences, Karolinska Institutet.
Systems microscopy film 2
The film shows two human breast cancer cells during spreading. The structures that attach the cells to the underlying surface have been labeled in green and are automatically identified. Their movements over time are indicated as tracks in red. All information about cell appearance and movement, as well as all information on the anchor points are extracted and analyzed mathematically, providing a better understanding of the process by which cancer cells spread. The film was produced by John Lock, Center for Biosciences, Karolinska Institutet.
