Description

Thick microtubule bundles are organized around the periphery of each stem cell in human embryonic stem cell colonies. Human embryonic fibroblasts were grown on a layer of mouse embryonic fibroblasts which provide nutrients and help maintain pluripotency of the colonies. The sample has been labeled with an antibody to tubulin using standard protocols for immunolabeling.
