Cancer cells cooperate

Caption

Every tumor cell type tested by the researchers — including this group of human breast cancer cells — required cooperation to survive under amino acid scarcity. Cell nuclei are labelled with Hoechst (blue) and cell membranes are labelled with antibodies against an amino acid transporter (green) and a membrane-bound enzyme (magenta).
