Fluorescence micrograph of a neuron regenerating in culture. Honorable Mention, 2006 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition.

Dorsal root ganglion nerve cells stained to reveal the microtubules (green) and actin filaments (red). The axon shaft contains bundles of microtubules that give structural support and carry cargo (pro...

This confocal micrograph shows a dorsal root ganglion (DRG) explant. The dorsal root ganglion is a swelling on the dorsal roots of spinal nerves, which contains a cluster of cell bodies and synapses. ...

Confocal micrograph showing nerve cells growing along fibers (purple) made from a specially modified silk that is similar to that made by spiders and silkworms. Schwann cells, whose nuclei are shown i...

NG108-15 cells expressing EGFP-actin. NG108-15 cells are a cell line that is derived from a mouse neuroblastoma and a rat glioma. This is one of two images related images that show actin dynamics in...

CFP-expressing neuron, 14 days in vitro. By two weeks, cultured hippocampal neurons have developed a morphology typical of mature neurons with an extensive axonal arbor, a tapered and branched dendrit...
