Platinum replica depicting the cytoskeletal organization of dendritic spines in extracted 14 DIV neurons. Mushroom spines associate with dendrites at the base (bottom) and with axons by the head (top)...

Platinum replica depicting the cytoskeletal organization of dendritic spines in extracted 14 DIV neurons. This image shows the interaction of putative PSD from the spine head with axonal intermediate ...

The inner segment of photoreceptors in the retina is packed with long, thin mitochondria that contain curved cristae. This image by Toichiro Kuwabara is of a photoreceptor from human retina, and appe...

Confocal micrograph of neural stem cells transplanted into mouse brain Mouse neural stem cells, labelled with green fluorescent protein, have been transplanted into the brain of a newborn mouse and ar...

Fluorescent micrograph of differentiating mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning that they have the ability to differentiate into any cell type depending on th...
