Art and Science: Color Explosion A fluorescence microscopy image (ovarian cancer cells/dna) competition straddles the boundary of science and art.



Research assistant at MD Anderson Cancer Center, Geoffrey Grandjean, obtained this image showing human ovarian cancer cells stained for DNA (red) and microtubules (green), during an siRNA screening. The particular gene knockdown in this screen disrupted cell division, causing the giant cell in the middle to grow very large.
