Green labels TM4SF1, the target of Angiexs cancer therapy; red labels the cytoskeleton, the equivalent of bone in cells; blue labels the nucleus. These two endothelial cells interact with one another and are connected by nanopodia, long membrane tubes that appear in this image as a series of green dots. The green dots label the microdomains by which Angiexs drug is delivered into endothelial cells. The drug kills dividing endothelial cells. In adults, endothelial cells rarely divide in normal vessels, but frequently divide in tumors to support tumor growth. By targeting these dividing cells, Angiexs drug can destroy tumor blood vessels, leading to regression of the tumor.
