Scorpion Venom With Nanoparticles Halt Brain Cancer Spread
Fig. 3. Tumor Cell Shape Modification by Chlorotoxin-Nanoparticles
Figure 3. Tumor cells treated with nanoparticles plus chlorotoxin were the only ones unable to elongate and infiltrate the brain, as shown in the third column. The other columns show cancer cells that are: untreated; treated with chlorotoxin alone; and treated with nanoparticles alone. The top and bottom images of each sample type were acquired from the same cell but with different imaging techniques. The scale bar is equivalent to 20 microns.
