Metastasis of a cancerous cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an ovarian cancer cell,showing pseudopodia protrusions,a prominent feature of actively motile cells. The role of pseudopodia in metastasis (the spread of cancer cells around the body) is poorly understood but it appears that a protein,named autocrine motility factor (AMF),causes pseudopodia to extend prior to cell movement. Locomotion is integral to the entire process of metastasis. Magnification: x2500 when printed 10 centimetres wide | |
