Computer graphics illustrate the process of cell division.

CELLS DIVIDE

Doctors operate on a cancer patient at the New England Deaconess Hospital, in Boston. Cancerous tissue excised from patient's body during surgery is saved to test behavior of the cells when exposed to radiation. The tissues are cultivated and then.examined under microscopes fitted with a movie camera. Cells divide. Radioactive material in a pack with warning, 'Hazard' written on it. A doctor exposes cancerous tissue to the radioactive material. Cancer cells die after exposure. Exterior view of the White Plains Hospital building in White Plains New York. A child runs to a woman in front of the hospital building. She picks up the child and both smile. Location: Boston Massachusetts USA. Date: 1957.

Mitosis

Timelapse confocal light microscopy of a melanoma cancer cell undergoing mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (cell division). Mitosis is the formation of two daughter nuclei from one parent nucleus. Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm of the cell in two, forming two new daughter cells. A fluorescent marker (white) has been used to highlight the cell's cytoskeleton. Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that arises from melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. It is an aggressive cancer that often spreads to other parts of the body. For a square version of this video see K013/5015.
