  • Human embryonic stem cells
  • Human HeLa cancer cell in late anaphase of mitosis
  • Abnormal foetal cells in amniotic fluid
  • Pancreatic cancer cells
  • Neurons in culture
  • Mouse embryonic stem cells
  • Mouse embryonic stem cells
  • Rat neural stem cells in culture
  • Human colon cancer cells in culture. Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in Britain. People are more likely to develop this cancer if they eat a diet high in animal fats.
  • How E. coli causes diarrhoea
  • Foetal cells from amniotic fluid, colchicine
  • Astrocytes and oligodendrocytes from neural stem cells
  • Lung cancer cell. This image shows a single cell grown from a culture of lung epithelial carcinoma (cancer) cells. The purple area shows blebbing.
  • Lung cancer cells.
  • Differentiating neuroblasts
  • Human HeLa cancer cells, cytokinesis
  • Lung cancer cell.
  • Brain cancer stem cells stained for vimentin (red).
  • Neurons in culture
  • Human HeLa cancer cell in anaphase of mitosis
  • Xenopus cancer kidney cells,telophase
  • Derivation of embryonic stem cells
  • Astrocytes and oligodendrocytes from neural stem cells
  • Xenopus cancer kidney cells, cytokinesis
  • Mouse neural stem cells growing in culture. Neural stem cells can be made to develop into cells found in the central nervous system; neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.
  • Foetal cells in amniotic fluid, low power LM
  • Human HeLa cancer cells, stages of mitosis
  • Human HeLa cancer cell in prophase of mitosis
  • Human embryonic stem cell (gold) growing on a layer of supporting cells (fibroblasts). Stem cells are derived from very early embryos and can either be grown to stay in their original state or triggered to form almost any type of human cell. The fibroblasts provide special factors that maintain the stem cells in their original state. The stem cell appears to be grasped by the underlying fibroblast. Stem cell research could lead to cures for many diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's and diabetes, where a patient's cells are damaged or absent.
