Neurons derived from neural stem cells

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.

Human HeLa cancer cells, mitosis

Human osteosarcoma cells

Lung cancer cells.

Human embryonic stem cells

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

Derivation of embryonic stem cells

Human HeLa cancer cells, cytokinesis

Brain cancer stem cells

Foetal cells in amniotic fluid, low power LM

Foetal cells from amniotic fluid in culture

Human HeLa cancer cells, prometaphase

Enteropathogenic E. coli on human intestinal cells

Lung cancer cell.

Lung cancer cell. This image shows a single cell grown from a culture of lung epithelial carcinoma (cancer) cells. The purple area shows blebbing.

Mouse neural stem cells in culture

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.
