Astrocyte brain cells, light micrograph
Astrocyte brain cells. Fluorescence light micrograph of primary astrocyte cells from the brain of a mouse. Astrocytes have numerous branches of connective tissue that provide support and nutrition to the neurons (nerve cells) of the brain. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is green; cell nuclei are blue, and fibrillarin in the nucleoli is red

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of astrocyte brain cells. Taken using fluorescence light microscopy, this image provides a mesmerizing glimpse into the complex world of neurobiology. The vibrant colors in this micrograph highlight different components within the astrocytes. The green hue represents glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a key structural component found in these cells. Meanwhile, the blue color signifies cell nuclei, while red indicates fibrillarin present in the nucleoli. Astrocytes play a crucial role in supporting and nourishing neurons within the brain. With their numerous branches of connective tissue, they create an extensive network that ensures proper functioning of our nervous system. These star-shaped cells are essential for maintaining homeostasis and regulating various biochemical processes vital to neural health. By capturing this microscopic view of mouse brain tissue, we gain insight into cellular structures that contribute to our understanding of neuroscience and histology. This image serves as a reminder of both the complexity and elegance inherent in biological systems. Science Photo Library continues to provide invaluable resources like this photograph for scientific research and education purposes across multiple fields such as zoology, cytology, biochemistry, and neurology.
