Photo competition
Winners:
1st prize: Danilo Lopes
A micro-universe: ordered chaos The picture depicts the similarity of patterns in nature. In it we can see diversity of filaments that compose the skeleton of a cancer cell, supporting tumor development. Like a black hole in the cosmos, a cancer cell follows its own set of rules, that we are only now starting to comprehend.
2nd prize: Ana Carolina Monteiro
Heart Shaped Bone: A fluorescence image of an osteoclast, a bone resorbing cell, shaped like a heart, turned into a colorful mosaic
3rd prize: Sofia Duque Santos & Ana Paula Pego
A smile for Science: The image shows therapeutic polymeric nanoparticles carrying a nucleic acid labelled with a red fluorescent molecule. The nanoparticles were administered to mice, by a nose-to-brain delivery. The nasal cavity was stained for the nucleus with blue and for neurites with green. Is Science happy?
