HaCaT culture cells
HaCaT cells. Immunofluorescence light micrograph of three HaCaT cells. Their nuclei, which contain the cells genetic information in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), are blue. HaCaT cells are human skin cells (keratinocytes) that have been transformed (mutated) to be immortal. They have unlimited growth potential, but unlike other immortal cell lines they are not tumourigenic (tumour forming). This means they grow in an orderly fashion and retain all the structural and functional features of human skin. HaCaT cells are grown in the laboratory, on dishes or mice, and are used in research, including wound healing research

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of HaCaT culture cells, specifically three individual cells captured under an immunofluorescence light microscope. These remarkable cells, known as HaCaT cells, are human skin cells that have undergone a transformative mutation to achieve immortality. The nuclei of these HaCaT cells are prominently displayed in a striking blue hue, representing their vital role in housing the genetic information encoded within deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Unlike other immortal cell lines, HaCaT cells do not possess tumorigenic properties and therefore maintain a controlled growth pattern while retaining all the essential structural and functional characteristics of human skin. In laboratories around the world, these extraordinary HaCaT cells are cultivated on dishes or even mice for various research purposes. Their unlimited growth potential makes them invaluable in studies related to wound healing and other areas of biological exploration. Through this mesmerizing immunofluorescent micrograph, we gain insight into the complex nature of epidermal biology. The keratinocytes present here represent a significant advancement in scientific understanding as they provide researchers with an accurate model for studying human skin without resorting to invasive methods. Science Photo Library has beautifully captured this trio of transformed and immortalized HaCaT culture cells – a testament to both their technical expertise and dedication to showcasing cutting-edge scientific imagery.
