Stem cell, SEM
Stem cell, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Stem cells can differentiate into any other cell type. There are three main types of mammalian stem cell: embryonic stem cells, derived from blastocysts; adult stem cells, which are found in some adult tissues; and cord blood stem cells, which are found in the umbilical cord. The cell seen here is destined to become a blood cell. During blood cell development in adults, stem cells develop through a process known as haemopoiesis. Blood cells have short lifespans and are therefore constantly produced by the bone marrow

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stem cell in all its intricate glory. Coloured using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), this image beautifully captures the essence of these remarkable cells that possess the ability to differentiate into any other cell type. Stem cells are truly nature's master builders. Mammalian stem cells come in three main types: embryonic stem cells derived from blastocysts, adult stem cells found in select tissues, and cord blood stem cells present in the umbilical cord. The particular cell depicted here is destined to become a vital blood cell. In adults, blood cell development occurs through haemopoiesis, where stem cells undergo a transformative process. As blood cells have short lifespans, they must be constantly produced by the bone marrow to sustain our bodies' needs. The false colouring applied to this SEM image adds an artistic touch while highlighting key features of the stem cell structure. Its undifferentiated state represents unlimited potential and underscores their crucial role in genetics and research. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this mesmerizing glimpse into the world of biology with their attention to detail and scientific precision. This print serves as a testament to both the beauty and significance of stem cells within our understanding of life itself.
