Adenosine crystals, light micrograph
Adenosine crystals, polarised light micrograph. Adenosine is a nucleoside molecule composed of the base adenine bonded to the sugar ribose. It is involved in energy transfer and signal transduction (chemical messages being passed from one cell to another) within the body. It is also an inhibitory neurotransmitter (nerve signalling chemical) that promotes sleep by suppressing arousal

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of adenosine crystals under polarised light. Adenosine, a nucleoside molecule consisting of adenine and ribose, plays crucial roles in energy transfer and signal transduction within our bodies. It acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, promoting sleep by suppressing arousal. The crystal's mesmerizing structure symbolizes the central role adenosine holds in biology and signaling processes. Its presence is vital for maintaining the delicate balance of our biochemical systems, particularly within the nervous system. As a key component of neurons, it contributes to the smooth functioning of our neurological pathways. Furthermore, this image alludes to adenosine's involvement in regulating circadian rhythm - our internal clock that governs sleep-wake cycles. By acting as a suppressant on neural activity, adenosine helps induce restful slumber when needed. Through its stunning crystalline form captured by a light microscope, this photograph offers us a glimpse into the hidden world of biochemistry and neurobiology. It reminds us of the intricate dance between chemical compounds and biological processes that shape our existence. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring visual representation that sparks curiosity about the wonders occurring within ourselves every day.
