About Cancer Assassin Illustratie
De kunstenaar probeerde een portret te maken van het dramatische moment waarop de doodsgreep van een Natural Killer T-cel de afweer van een kankercel overwint en een moment herdenkt dat de mensheid verlangt. Cytotoxische Natural Killer T-cellen zijn kankermoordenaars die kankercellen ertoe aanzetten om geprogrammeerde celdood te ondergaan, bekend als apoptose. Natural Killer T-cellen herkennen specifieke plaatsen op het oppervlak van kankercellen die antigenen worden genoemd, binden eraan en geven biochemische eiwitten af die poriën vormen in het membraan van de kankercel en die specifiek de kankercel ertoe aanzetten om te vernietigen.

- 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.
