Tumour death-cell receptors on breast cancer cell (Illustration – Honorable Mention). This artist’s illustration shows a monoclonal antibody (green) developed by scientists at the University of Alabama binding to a ‘death cell receptor’ on a cancer cell (top left). This triggers the cell’s inbuilt suicide program (apoptosis).
It looks like a setting for a sci-fi movie.
(I wish those monoclonal antibodies were as super specific as the researchers would like them to be. They seem to end up hitting receptors on cells you don’t want taken out.)
