Is it just me freaked out by this "hand"? Made my knees weak. 🫣
To clarify, this used to be a melanocyte, the cell that gives your skin colour. In the lab, we can isolate them out and then introduce specific genetic mutations into them, and converting them into melanoma cell. We use this as a model system to study melanoma biology. It's interesting to note that melanocytes and neurons (the peripheral neurons) share a common ancestral cell called the neural crest.
