Colon cancer cells. Confocal light micrograph of Caco 2 colon cancer cells (centre) growing in culture. Subsets of the cells shown here have changed the pattern of their gene activity, demonstrated by the different affinity for the coloured fluorescent labels. Cancer is the uncontrolled replication of cells caused by damage to the cellular genetic material. Cell nuclei are shown as blue dots.
