Antique Framed Print : Stem cell culture
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Stem cell culture
Stem cell culture. Scientist examining a petri dish used to culture human embryonic stem cells (HESCs). The HESCs are held within the drops of liquid. This is a hanging drop culture used when inducing the cells to differentiate. HESCs are pluripotent, they are able to differentiate into any of the 200 cell types in the human body. The type of cell they mature into depends upon the biochemical signals received by the immature cells. HESCs are a potential source of cells to repair damaged tissue in diseases such as Parkinsons and insulin-dependent diabetes, and after heart attacks. However, use of HESCs is controversial as it requires the destruction of an embryo

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scientist diligently examining a petri dish containing human embryonic stem cells (HESCs) in a stem cell culture. The HESCs, held within drops of liquid, are undergoing differentiation through the hanging drop culture method. These remarkable cells possess pluripotent properties, meaning they have the ability to develop into any of the 200 different cell types found in the human body. The fate of these immature cells relies on the biochemical signals they receive, determining which specific type of cell they will mature into. This incredible potential makes HESCs an invaluable resource for repairing damaged tissues caused by diseases like Parkinson's and insulin-dependent diabetes or even after heart attacks. However, it is important to acknowledge that working with HESCs remains controversial due to its requirement for embryo destruction. Despite this ethical debate surrounding their use, scientists and researchers continue to explore their therapeutic applications extensively. In this image, we witness a dedicated female scientist carefully inspecting the suspended solution within the petri dish. Equipped with gloves and immersed in her work environment, she represents countless geneticists and biologists who tirelessly strive towards advancements in developmental biology and medical therapies. This thought-provoking photograph serves as a reminder of both the immense potential offered by stem cell research as well as the ongoing ethical considerations surrounding its utilization.
