Embryonic stem cells

Embryonic stem cells. Computer-enhanced confocal light micrograph of dividing stem cells from the ventricular zone of the retina of a developing embryo. The ventricular zone is the site of cell division during retinal development. It is the part of the neural retina (left) adjacent to the pigment epithelium layer (right). Dividing cells have bright pink nuclei, while the nuclei of non-dividing cells are blue/pink. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have yet to become specialized for their position in the body. In the mature retina, neural cells carry information from the photoreceptors to the optic nerve. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of embryonic stem cells. In this computer-enhanced confocal light micrograph, we are granted a glimpse into the mesmerizing process of cell division within the ventricular zone of a developing embryo's retina. The image reveals a vibrant display of colors, with dividing stem cells displaying bright pink nuclei that contrast against the blue/pink hues of non-dividing cells. Stem cells hold immense potential as undifferentiated entities that have yet to acquire their specialized roles within the body. Located adjacent to the pigment epithelium layer on the left side, the ventricular zone serves as a crucial site for cell division during retinal development. It is here that these remarkable stem cells undergo transformation and maturation. As we delve deeper into this microscopic realm, it becomes apparent how vital these neural structures are in transmitting information from photoreceptors to the optic nerve in our mature retina. The complexity and intricacy captured in this image truly highlight nature's awe-inspiring design. While magnification details remain unknown, one thing is certain: this photograph encapsulates not only scientific knowledge but also an appreciation for life's incredible journey from its earliest stages.
