Microscopic fluorescence lifetime image of a CA1 pyramidal neuron in the hippocampus of a mouse. The neuron was filled with the sodium-sensitive indicator ING-2 using a so-called patch pipette.

This image shows two types of nerve cells, dye-labelled in a mouse cortex.

A microscope image of a mini brain organoid showing layered neural tissue and different types of neural cells.

A rendering of 3D cell reconstructions from the MICrONS dataset. Each cell is labeled with a different color.

This is the organ of Corti, the hearing organ of the inner ear, which contains rows of sensory hearing cells (green) surrounded by supporting cells (blue).

This image shows a gene called OX40 marked in red, which is being expressed by T-cells, coloured magenta. Here, OX40 is associated with the tertiary lymphoid structures, which form local rally points for the immune system’s defense against the cancer

This image is a high-power microscope view showing human MYC-amplified medulloblastoma ( large, pale blue cells at bottom) growing in the mouse cerebellum.

Mammary tissue is made up of a variety of cells, including epithelial (pink), immune (cyan), and fat (black) cells visible in this cross-section of a mouse mammary gland.

This image shows aGonodactylaceus falcatuslarva with scale bar.

New Army-funded synthetic biologic research manipulate micro-compartments in cells, potentially enabling bio-manufacturing advances for medicine, protective equipment, and engineering applications.
