Endocrine cell, TEM
Endocrine cell. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a cultured endocrine cell. Endocrine cells are part of the endocrine system. They release chemical messengers (hormones) from secretory granules (black). The hormones are transported via the bloodstream to target cells in other tissues. Hormone actions include stimulation or inhibition of growth, induction or suppression of cell death (apoptosis), activation or inhibition of the immune system and regulation of metabolism

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of an endocrine cell, captured through a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The vibrant colors bring to life the inner workings of this vital component of our body's endocrine system. Endocrine cells play a crucial role in maintaining our overall physiological balance. They are responsible for releasing hormones, which act as chemical messengers, from secretory granules depicted here in striking black hues. These hormones travel through our bloodstream to reach target cells in various tissues throughout the body. The actions of these hormones are diverse and far-reaching. They can stimulate or inhibit growth, regulate metabolism, induce or suppress cell death (apoptosis), and even activate or inhibit the immune system. This single image encapsulates the complexity and importance of hormone regulation within our bodies. Through this TEM image, we gain insight into the internal workings of a healthy endocrine cell at a microscopic level. The false-colored nucleus and nucleolus add depth to its structure while emphasizing its biological significance. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into the wonders of biology and physiology with this remarkable photograph.
