Human cancer cell

Embryonic kidney cells

Human 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 cell in prometaphase of mitosis

Brain cancer stem cells stained for vimentin (red).

Cell and tissue culture for medical research / edited by Alan Doyle, The Wellcome Trust, London, UK and J. Bryan Griffiths, Scientific Consultancy and Publishing, Porton, Salisbury, UK.

Differentiating neuroblast

Mouse embryonic stem cells

Lung cancer cell.

Green Fluorescent Protein transfected cells

Chorionic villi explants in culture flask

HeLa cells showing nuclei and nucleoli

Abnormal foetal cells in amniotic fluid

Xenopus cancer kidney cells, anaphase

Fibroblast spreading on laminin

Human HeLa cancer cell in prophase of mitosis

Enteropathogenic E. coli on human intestinal cells

Stress fibres & focal adhesions

Xenopus cancer kidney cells,prometaphase

HeLa cells

Neurons derived from human neural stem cells. The green staining highlights the typical appearance of differentiated nerve cells. Cells such as these could form the basis of future treatments for degenerative brain diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
