Label-free Live Cell Imaging: Activated T-Cell Killing Cancer Cell

Label-free Live Cell Imaging from Nanolive shows how a cancer cell is being killed by a T cell.

Technology: 3D Cell Explorer microscope from Nanolive, Switzerland.

The 3D Cell Explorer is a high speed, high resolution and non-invasive live cell imaging microscope that can look deep inside biological systems. This allows you to record stunning 3D images to capture the dynamics of entire cells and their organelles in just seconds at high resolution, enabling you to delve deeper into cellular processes, interactions, and responses

What’s a T cell?

T cells are a type of immune cell, or white blood cell. They mature in the thymus, which is why they are called "T cells". There are different types of T cells, and the one you see here is a cytotoxic or "killer" T cell that can kill cells infected by bacteria or viruses, as well as cancerous cells like this one, in the right conditions. Cancer cells can change to avoid T cell attacks which is why scientists are developing new therapies to help the immune system fight cancers.

December of 2021 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer which had metastasized to my lungs, upper intestines, lymph nodes and renal artery. I was told I had 3-6 months left. But that made me eligible for a clinical trial of immunotherapy drugs. I had nine treatments over seven months and in April of 2023 was declared cancer free ! Miracles do happen !

My mother was diagnosed with stage four brain metasis 3 month ago, she had a full time job working as a cleaner and she was getting severe back pain and also in her legs, the doctors had did blood tests and a body scan an her and they found out she had a tumor on her bladder so they booked her in to get radiotherapy for it and was all looking good and then she had a seizure at home which then the doctors had did further scans and found 7 tumors on her brain, they have tried radiotherapy to remove them but they had to stop because the tumors were bleeding, now I have to watch my mother die from being a normal person 3 month ago to now being bound in a wheelchair and she can't even speak. I just wanted to share this with you guys because I have been feeling very low recently and wanted to now I am not alone

My father just had this procedure; Lymphoma (non-Hodgekins). It completely destroyed the cancer...completely. It was gone in two weeks and he followed back up 2 months later and is still free of it. Simply amazing stuff

Meanwhile, while inside of us unknowingly, our t-cell may be in a battle for its own life. Those are some tuff little warriors.

Dear, you are not alone. In 2011 I watched my mother die of a brain tumor within days. It was heart wrenching, and it took awhile to cope with her presence being out of my sight. Then I realized my mother, like other family members and friends, were indeed in a place far better than I could imagine or even wish for them. I send you and your mother eternal blessings of immense love. You will weave your memories into your heart & soul. Allow others to befriend, support & love you as you continue on your own path. Your mother may not speak, but her love for you abounds.💕🙏

[kittybridgeman]

Hats off to ALL the brilliant minds that contributed to this amazing achievement in science and medicine.

[BondrewdAiriDarke]

My mother gave me the news on Christmas that her cancer has metastasized. She’s had a hard life, I don’t know how much longer she’ll be with me. I just don’t want her to suffer anymore. I’ve always had this foreboding anxiety about cancer with all her addictions. I hate that I was right. Idk why I’m putting this here, but it’s literally so hard to speak about it.
So thank you everyone for sharing your stories, it’s really helped me not feel alone.
