Professor Pat Jones, graduate student Irina Conboy and postdoctoral fellow Vidula Mhaiskar use a confocal microscope and digital imaging to look inside the nuclei of macrophage cells. The macrophage -- "a cell that eats large things" -- is an immune system cell that normally cleans unwanted foreign objects from the bloodstream. Jones' lab is studying changes in genes that cause macrophages and other immune system components to go awry, attacking the body's own nerve cells. Windows (AVI format) version of this movie
