Cultured Hippocampal Neuron
A mouse hippocampal neuron (yellow) was cultured for 21 days. During this time, it formed an extensive number of dendritic spines (red) to contact neighboring neurons. Attribution: Judith Reinhard, Rüegg Group, Biozentrum, University of Basel.
Blastoma Neural Network.
Differentiated SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells forming a network. The nucleus is stained in red, the neuronal marker protein tubulin is stained in green using immunofluorescence method. Attribution: Anne Eckert, Neurobiology Lab for Brain Aging and Mental Health, University of Basel.
Tumor in Mouse Brain
Murine brain tumor with histological features strikingly similar to those of human gliomas, and induced by loss ofTrp53and activation ofPDGF signaling. PDGF-overexpressing cells (red) and Sox10+cells (green) form the bulk of the tumor. Reactive astrocytes are labeled with GFAP (blue). …
