Caption

Eight simulations of melanoma cell image traces converted with AI software to show, from left to right, a state of highly metastatic potential to low metastatic potential. Highly metastatic cells tend to extend finger-like protrusions (pseudopodia) and the cell body scatters more light, which relates to a rearrangement of cellular organelles.
