About Cancer Assassin Dealbh

Bha an neach-ealain a ’feuchainn ri dealbh a chruthachadh den mhionaid dhrùidhteach a tha greim bàis cealla T Killer Nàdarra a’ faighinn thairis air dìon cealla aillse, a ’cuimhneachadh mionaid a tha daonnachd a’ miannachadh. Tha ceallan Cytotoxic Natural Killer T nam murtairean aillse a bhrosnaicheas ceallan aillse gu bàs cealla prògramaichte ris an canar apoptosis. Bidh ceallan Killer T Nàdarra ag aithneachadh làraich sònraichte air uachdar ceallan aillse ris an canar antigens, a ’ceangal riutha, agus a’ leigeil às pròtainean bith-cheimiceach a bhios a ’cruthachadh pores ann am ball cealla aillse agus a’ brosnachadh gu sònraichte an cealla aillse gus a sgrios.

Unique Properties: People fighting cancer often want to know how to visualize fighting back. This is one visualization capturing the moment of cancer cell death, and the victory of the body's natural immune defenses, Natural Killer T cells. An entire branch of medical research focuses on amplifying and strengthening Natural Killer T cells' effectiveness.

Design Challenge: The artist sought to create a portrait of the simple but dramatic moment the death grip of the Killer T cell overcomes the cancer cell's defenses.
Research: The artist researched the morphology of Killer T cells, cancer cells, and Killer T cells and cancer cells in a death struggle, by studying electron micrographs and written research. She then created 3D models of a Killer T cell, cancer cell, fracture explosion, and cell debris using Cinema 4D, on a Mac.
