Mouth cancer cell dividing, SEM
Mouth cancer dividing. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) cell from a human mouth undergoing mitosis (nuclear division) and splitting into two daughter cells (top and bottom). Here, it is in late telophase, the final stage before cell division (cytokinesis) and the two daughter cells are still connected by a cytoplasmic bridge (centre). Squamous cells are a type of epithelial cell that line body cavities, such as the mouth. Magnification: x2500 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of cellular division within a mouth cancer cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) technology allows us to witness the mesmerizing process of mitosis, where a single squamous cell carcinoma from the human mouth undergoes nuclear division and splits into two daughter cells. In this particular image, we find ourselves in late telophase, the final stage before cytokinesis or cell division occurs. The two daughter cells remain connected by a cytoplasmic bridge at their center, emphasizing their shared origin and connection. Squamous cells play a crucial role in lining body cavities like our mouths. However, when they become cancerous, as depicted here, they take on abnormal characteristics that can be detrimental to our health. This visual representation serves as a powerful reminder of the destructive nature of malignant cells and highlights the urgent need for medical intervention. With its vibrant colors and remarkable detail magnified 2500 times when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this print not only captures scientific beauty but also provides valuable insights into oral oncology research. It offers an opportunity for scientists and medical professionals alike to delve deeper into understanding mouth cancer's intricacies while inspiring hope for innovative treatments that combat this disease effectively.
