Fine Art Print : Human embryonic stem cell, SEM
Fine Art Prints From Science Photo Library
Human embryonic stem cell, SEM
Stem cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a human embryonic stem cell (HESC, blue). HESCs are pluripotent, that is they are able to differentiate into any of the 200 cell types in the human body. The type of cell they mature into depends upon the biochemical signals received by the immature cells. This ability makes HESCs a potential source of cells to repair damaged tissue in diseases such as Parkinsons and insulin-dependent diabetes. However, research using HESCs is controversial as it requires the destruction of an embryo

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a human embryonic stem cell (HESC) in all its intricate glory. Coloured using scanning electron microscopy, the image reveals the mesmerizing blue hue of this pluripotent cell. HESCs possess an extraordinary ability to transform into any of the 200 different cell types found within our bodies. The potential held by these cells is awe-inspiring, as they could potentially be utilized to repair damaged tissues caused by debilitating diseases like Parkinson's and insulin-dependent diabetes. However, their usage remains controversial due to the necessity of destroying embryos for research purposes. In this false-coloured magnified image, we witness the undifferentiated nature of HESCs, waiting eagerly for biochemical signals that will dictate their maturation into specific cell types. This unique characteristic makes them a promising candidate for therapeutic applications in regenerative medicine. As we delve deeper into developmental biology and genetics, exploring microscopic subjects such as these becomes increasingly crucial in advancing medical knowledge and treatment options. While debates surrounding their use persist, it is impossible to deny the immense potential that lies within these tiny precursor cells. Science Photo Library has once again captured a remarkable moment in scientific exploration with this stunning portrayal of a human embryonic stem cell - reminding us all of the boundless wonders hidden within our own biology.
