Ovarian cancer. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of bone tissue from a teratoma tumour. Teratomas are malignant (cancerous) tumours that arise from the germ (sex) cells. Because germ cells are pluripotent,that is they can differentiate into any cell type,tumours contain a mixture of tissues. Bone,hair and teeth may form in the tumour. Within the tissue are osteoclasts (red),a type of bone cell that degrades and reabsorbs bone tissue. Magnification: x1300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide | |
