Rat hippocampal neurons and astrocytes stained for neuronal βIII-tubulin (green), astrocyte GFAP (red) and DNA (blue).
Human neural stem cells stained for DNA (blue), neuronal (TUJ-1, green) and astrocyte (GFAP, red) markers.
Human neural stem cells from fetal cortex stained for DNA (blue), neuronal (green) and astrocyte (red) markers. Corey Seehus/ GE Healthcare IN Cell Image Competition.
Schwann cell myelinating axons
Schwann cells (mauve) forming myelin sheathes (green) around axons (brown).
Myelination: oligodendrocyte engaging with neurites.
A co-culture of oligodendrocytes and neurons, in which neurofascin is labelled in green and neuron-specific tubulin in red. An oligodendrocyte is shown extending processes to neurites. Where it engages it will start to ensheath them.
