Figure 172 from Chapter 5 (Endoplasmic Reticulum) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Electron micrograph of a Nissl body in a large motor neuron. The fenestrated cisternae of the endoplas...

Confocal micrograph of an intact Drosophila larva imaged through the translucent cuticle showing the innervation of the dorsal (towards the back) muscle fibres by motor nerves. The muscles have been g...

Confocal image of axons (green) making contact with muscle fibers at neuromuscular junctions. As seen here more than one nerve fiber initially contacts each muscle fiber. As development proceeds, the ...

Transverse section through the neural tube of an early stage chick embryo. The brown stain shows the neurofilament in the axons of the commisural neurons (running down the sides of the neural tube) an...

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) motor neurons created from induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) cells made from the skin cells of an 83-year-old ALS patient. iPS cell...

Figures 173 (upper panel) and 174 (lower panel) from Chapter 5 (Endoplasmic Reticulum) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Electron micrographs of endoplasmic reticulum with the section pla...

Confocal micrograph showing the development of motor neurons in the mouse forelimb at 11.5 days post coitum. The transgenic mice expresses a transgene of the Hb9 gene containing a genetic insert of th...

The JNK phosphatase puckered, whose expression can be reported via a lacZ enhancer trap, is expressed in very low levels in uninjured neurons; however, nerve crush induces a dramatic increase in puc-l...

The endosomal compartment is enlarged in the ema[1] mutant. Colocalization between DVGLUT (red) aggregates and the endosomal ESCRT protein Hrs (green, also known as Vps27) in motoneuron cell bodies of...
