Glial stem cell culture, light micrograph

Glial stem cell culture. Fluorescent light micrograph of glial stem cells producing the protein NG2 (red) as they mature. These stem cells can differentiate into several types of glial cells, such as oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. More mature astrocyte progenitors are green, and nuclei are blue. Glial cells provide nerve cells with support and nutrition, form myelin (protein that coats the axons of the nerve cells) and participate in signal transmission in the nervous system. In the human brain, there are about 10 glia for each nerve cell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of glial stem cell culture. In this fluorescent light micrograph, we witness the remarkable process of maturation as glial stem cells produce the protein NG2, depicted in vibrant red hues. These versatile stem cells possess the extraordinary ability to differentiate into various types of glial cells, including oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. The more mature astrocyte progenitors are represented by a striking green coloration, while nuclei shimmer in brilliant shades of blue. Glial cells play a vital role in providing support and nourishment to nerve cells within the central nervous system (CNS). They also contribute to myelin formation – a crucial protein coating that envelops nerve cell axons – and actively participate in signal transmission throughout our complex neural network. It is fascinating to note that within the human brain, there exist approximately ten glia for every single nerve cell present. This image offers us an awe-inspiring glimpse into their world; a world where biological processes unfold with meticulous precision. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing scene captured under a light microscope, we gain insight into cellular biology and cytology. The confocal imaging technique employed here allows us to observe differentiation occurring at its finest level – multipotent stem cells transforming into specialized support cells or progenitors. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an exquisite visual representation of nature's wonders through this stunning photograph.
