Stem cells, SEM
Stem cells, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Stem cells can differentiate into any other cell type. There are three main types of mammalian stem cell: embryonic stem cells, derived from blastocysts; adult stem cells, which are found in some adult tissues; and cord blood stem cells, which are found in the umbilical cord. The cells seen here are destined to become blood cells. During blood cell development in adults, stem cells develop through a process known as haemopoiesis. Blood cells have short lifespans and are therefore constantly produced by the bone marrow

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible world of stem cells, captured through a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). Stem cells possess the remarkable ability to transform into any type of cell in the body. Mammalian stem cells can be classified into three main types: embryonic stem cells derived from blastocysts, adult stem cells found in certain tissues, and cord blood stem cells present in the umbilical cord. The particular group of cells depicted here is destined to become vital blood cells. In adults, these versatile stem cells undergo a process called haemopoiesis during their development into blood cells. Due to their short lifespans, blood cells are continuously produced by the bone marrow. This image offers a glimpse into the intricate world of biology and genetics research. The false-coloured SEM reveals an array of dividing and undifferentiated stem cells that hold immense potential for medical advancements. Embryonic stem cell research has sparked great interest due to their pluripotency – their ability to differentiate into any specialized cell type within our bodies. While this print captures only a fraction of the vast complexity surrounding multipotent and pluripotent stem cell capabilities, it serves as a powerful reminder of how these unspecialized entities hold tremendous promise for understanding human development and potentially revolutionizing regenerative medicine.
