A close-up fly-through of tumor cells, and the arrival of cytotoxic t cells intent on eradicating them.
Activation and proliferation of cytotoxic T cells are critical for immune-mediated tumor destruction.
A key challenge we were given for this sequence: develop a rendering approach that mimics infrared thermal microscopy imaging techniques.
Researchers have been making advancements in understanding the thermal behavior of cells – for example, the ability to read the signatures of tumor cells due to their higher metabolism – in order to be used alongside existing histological analysis methods.
