Goldfish Cells Crawling Around To Patch Up A Wounded Scale

A movie Meredith & I (Angela) made for our cell biology class at Muhlenberg College. Very Cool. It shows the keratinocytes from a goldish crawling around on a cell culture plate using thier pseudopodia. The goldfish scale was taken off a recently killed golfish and put on the culture. The cells come from underneath the scale, and they're trying to find a place to patch up the wound and the scale by finding nearby cells to aggregate with. The black things crawling around might even be amoeba from where the goldfish was living before it was killed.

Its a shame really.... all that work for nothing... poor cells dont even know that the host is dead.

Invasion of the keratinocytes.

Great video, awesome stuff, BUT the music is totally unnecessary, overly dramatic, too loud, and distracting, IMHO!
