Description:

Immune cells and cancer cells interact.

Alt text:
Tumor cells, stained in purple, are growing in a diamond-shaped lattice pattern. In between and around these cells are small bright green blobs, which are the dendritic cells.
Caption:
In this image, specialized immune cells called dendritic cells (in green) are sticking to and interacting with a bunch of tumor cells (red/purple), all of them embedded in a gel so they can move around and grow in 3D.
