Cellules HeLa infectées par la bactérie "Listeria monocytogènes"

HeLa cancer cells infected with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes, with actin comet tails, observed using a scanning electron microscope. Here, the HeLa cells are being used as a model to study how the biomechanical properties of cells contribute to various processes, including infection in particular.
