Neural stem cells in culture
Neural stem cell in culture, fluorescent light micrograph. The stem cells have been dyed for nestin (red), an intermediate filament (IF) protein, and the nuclei are dyed blue. IFs are part of the cells cytoskeleton, which is responsible for intracellular transport, cell structure and motility. Neural stem cells are unspecialised cells that can differentiate into different types of nerve cells (neurons) or support cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of neural stem cells in culture. The fluorescent light micrograph reveals a mesmerizing array of colors and structures that highlight the complexity of these unspecialized cells. Dyed red for nestin, an intermediate filament protein, the stem cells stand out against a backdrop of blue-dyed nuclei. The cytoskeleton, responsible for intracellular transport, cell structure, and motility, is prominently displayed through the vibrant IFs present within each cell. This microscopic view offers a glimpse into the fundamental mechanisms that govern neural development within the human body. Neural stem cells possess remarkable potential as they can differentiate into various types of nerve cells or support cells. Their multipotent nature makes them crucial players in neurology and neurological research. Through this image's lens, we witness multiple developing neural stem cells thriving in their cultured environment. Each cell holds immense promise for understanding how neurons form and function within our central nervous system. With its histological beauty captured by a light microscope using confocal techniques, this photograph not only captures scientific curiosity but also serves as a testament to the wonders found within our own bodies. It reminds us of both the delicate intricacies and limitless possibilities that lie hidden beneath our skin. Photograph courtesy: Science Photo Library
