Greetings Card : Nerve cell culture, SEM
Cards from Science Photo Library
Nerve cell culture, SEM
Nerve cell culture. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of new growth from a cultured sample from a spinal cord. The numerous branching strands are neurites, processes growing out of the nerve cell body (not seen). These connect to other neurites from other nerve cells, forming a network of nervous tissue. A neurite is either an axon or a dendrite, the former transmitting nerve impulses away from the nerve cell body, while the latter transmits nerve impulses towards the nerve cell body. Research into curing spinal paralysis, uses nerve tissue cultures to investigate methods of promoting neurite growth and neural regeneration. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a nerve cell culture, revealing the intricate beauty of new growth from a cultured sample taken from a spinal cord. The vibrant colors in this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) bring to life the numerous branching strands known as neurites. These remarkable processes extend outward from the nerve cell body, forming connections with other neurites and creating an elaborate network of nervous tissue. Neurites can either be axons or dendrites, each playing a crucial role in transmitting nerve impulses. Axons carry these impulses away from the nerve cell body, while dendrites transmit them towards it. This image represents groundbreaking research into curing spinal paralysis by investigating methods to promote neurite growth and neural regeneration using nerve tissue cultures. The magnification used for capturing this extraordinary snapshot remains unknown but serves as a reminder of how science continues to unravel the mysteries of our biological systems. With its fusion of artistry and scientific inquiry, this photograph exemplifies the intersection between biology and medicine. As we delve deeper into understanding the complexities of our nervous system, images like these offer glimpses into potential breakthroughs that could revolutionize healthcare. By studying cells, neurons, axons, dendrites, and neurites within carefully cultivated cultures like this one depicted here, researchers strive to unlock new treatments for paralysis and enhance overall neurological health.
