HeLa cells, light micrograph C013 / 4774
HeLa cells. Multi-photon fluorescence light micrograph of a group of cultured HeLa cells, showing the cell nuclei, which contain the cells genetic information (DNA, red), golgi apparatus (green) and microtubules (beige). HeLa cells are a continuously cultured cell line of human cancer cells. They are immortal and so thrive in the laboratory. HeLa cells are widely used in biological and medical research. Magnification: x1000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of HeLa cells, a continuously cultured cell line derived from human cancer cells. The image, captured using a light microscope at a magnification of x1000, reveals a group of vibrant HeLa cells against a striking black background. The nuclei of these remarkable cells are prominently displayed in red, containing their genetic information encoded within DNA. Additionally, the green fluorescence highlights the presence of golgi apparatuses while beige microtubules add further complexity to this microscopic landscape. HeLa cells have gained immense significance in biological and medical research due to their immortal nature and ability to thrive in laboratory conditions. Their unique characteristics make them invaluable tools for studying various aspects of cell biology, cytology, immunofluorescence, and oncology. Notably used for investigating cervical cancer and its treatments, these malignant yet extraordinary cells offer insights into abnormal cellular behaviors and provide potential avenues for developing targeted therapies. Furthermore, they shed light on organelles such as mitochondria and actin that play crucial roles in cellular respiration and function. This stunning photograph by Thomas Deerinck from Science Photo Library serves as an awe-inspiring reminder of the beauty hidden within our own bodies at the microscopic level. It encapsulates both the scientific importance and artistic allure found within this realm of study.
