Cell structure
Cell structure. Confocal light micrograph of cultured endothelial cells. A fluorescent dye has been used to show the cell structure. Nuclei (blue) contain the cells genetic information, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) packaged in chromosomes. Actin filaments part of the cell cytoskeleton are green. The cytoskeleton is responsible for the structure and motility of the cell. Actin is the most abundant cellular protein. The golgi apparatus, or body (red), is a membrane-bound organelle that modifies and packages proteins. It consists of long flattened vesicles arranged in stacks. Endothelial cells are flat and line all of the bodys blood vessels

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of endothelial cells, as captured through a confocal light microscope. The fluorescent dye used in this image highlights various components of the cell, revealing its inner workings. The blue nuclei contain DNA, which carries the cell's genetic information and is packaged in chromosomes. Green actin filaments form part of the cell cytoskeleton, responsible for maintaining its structure and enabling movement. Actin is a vital protein found abundantly within cells. The red-colored golgi apparatus stands out prominently in this image; it is a membrane-bound organelle that plays a crucial role in modifying and packaging proteins within the cell. Composed of long flattened vesicles arranged in stacks, it ensures efficient protein transport. Endothelial cells are flat and line all blood vessels throughout our bodies. They play an essential role in vascular biology by regulating blood flow and vessel permeability. This stunning micrograph not only provides valuable insights into cellular structures but also serves as a testament to the remarkable complexity present within even seemingly simple organisms like individual cells. It reminds us of the beauty hidden beneath our skin – an intricate world that fuels life itself.
