SEM Dividing Osteosarcoma cells
Osteosarcoma is an aggressive malignant neoplasm arising from primitive transformed cells of mesenchymal origin (and thus a sarcoma) that exhibit osteoblastic differentiation and produce malignant osteoid. It is the most common histological form of primary bone cancer.
Osteosarcoma is the eighth most common form of childhood cancer, comprising 2.4% of all malignancies in pediatric patients, and approximately 20% of all primary bone cancers.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dividing bone cancer cell, SEM" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of cellular biology. Captured by Steve Gschmeissner, this scanning electron micrograph showcases two osteosarcoma cells in the midst of division. Osteosarcoma, an aggressive form of primary bone cancer, arises from transformed cells with mesenchymal origins. These malignant neoplasms exhibit osteoblastic differentiation and produce malignant osteoid. As the most common histological type of primary bone cancer, it affects both children and adults. In this image, we witness the dynamic process of mitosis as these abnormal cells replicate and divide to create daughter cells. The vibrant colors highlight their unhealthy condition while filopodia projections extend outward like delicate fingers reaching for sustenance. With a magnification level set at X 1800 and measuring 10cm in size, this photograph provides a closer look at the microscopic world that shapes our health and well-being. It serves as a reminder of the importance of medical research and oncology in understanding diseases such as osteosarcoma. As we delve into this visual representation of cellular life gone awry, let us appreciate the dedication and expertise required to capture such remarkable images that contribute to scientific knowledge. This print is not only aesthetically striking but also holds immense educational value for those studying cell biology or seeking insights into malignancies like osteosarcoma.
