cancer cells in mice

Caption

Cancer spread faster and more furiously in stressed mice (middle column) than in a control group (left column). By comparison, cancer cells in stressed mice treated with an enzyme called DNase I (right column) were largely non-proliferating, and the treatment caused a significant reduction in stress-induced metastasis.
