The video shows two breast tumor cells attaching to each other. The red color shows the surface of both tumor cells, while the green color shows how the microtentacles from one cell encircle the neighboring cell.

The video shows a blood vessel (green color) in which breast tumor cells (red color) are attaching to the vessel wall. Small red particles show the flow through the vessel, while the large red-yellow circles are the tumor cells attached to the vessel wall. There are four tumor cells total: three on the top and one on the bottom of the vessel.

The video shows the rapid motion of microtentacles on a breast tumor cell with time-lapse microscopy. Treatment with a microtentacle-targeted drug causes the microtentacles to collapse to the cell center.
