Canvas Prints From Science Photo Library
Astrocyte nerve cell
Astrocyte nerve cell. Fluorescent light micrograph of an astrocyte cell from a human brain. Intermediate filaments (IFs), part of the cells cytoskeleton, have been dyed green. The cell nucleus, which contains the cells genetic information DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) packaged in chromosomes, is pink. The centre point of each chromosome, the centromere, is red. Astrocytes are a type of glial cell. They provide structural support and protection for neurons (nerve cells) and also supply them with nutrients and oxygen. The cells cannot transmit electric signals and so insulate neurons from one another

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of an astrocyte nerve cell, found in the human brain. The fluorescent light micrograph reveals a mesmerizing display of colors and structures that highlight the essential functions of this glial cell. The vibrant green hue represents the intermediate filaments (IFs), which form part of the astrocyte's cytoskeleton, providing structural support. Meanwhile, the delicate pink shade symbolizes the cell nucleus containing DNA packaged within chromosomes. Within each chromosome lies a striking red centromere, marking its center point. Astrocytes play a crucial role in maintaining and protecting neurons within our nervous system. While they cannot transmit electrical signals like neurons do, these supportive cells act as insulation between them. They ensure efficient communication by preventing interference or crosstalk among neighboring neurons. Beyond their protective function, astrocytes also serve as caretakers for neurons by supplying them with vital nutrients and oxygen necessary for proper functioning. Their presence is indispensable to maintain overall brain health and facilitate optimal neuronal performance. Through this extraordinary image captured under a light microscope, we gain insight into both the biological complexity and aesthetic elegance present within our own bodies. It serves as a reminder of how remarkable nature's creations can be when observed through scientific lenses – unveiling wonders hidden beneath our skin.
