Many tumours remain in the same tissue or organ but some can spread to other parts of the body. In this lesson we will explore the various ways cancer can spread through the body. It also introduces the principles of immunotherapy - which has been in the news</summary><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34231050/posts/default/5942984377544939287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34231050/posts/default/5942984377544939287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.frogblog.ie/2018/10/youtube-saturday-how-does-cancer-spread.html' title='YouTube Saturday - How Does Cancer Spread?

  117. Scientists working for IBM have, for the first time, captured images of individual atomic bonds within a molecule of graphene (a one atom thick sheet of carbon atoms). Created with an atomic force microscope (AFM), the image shows a nanosized graphene molecule (a little flake of graphene) and clearly visualises the bonds in the molecule.
