Immunofluorescence image of iPSC-derived astrocytes. Green: GFAP, magenta: S100b, blue: nuclei (DAPI)
Image of human stem cell derived retinal ganglion cells in culture. Green = beta-3-tubulin, neural marker Magenta = gamma synuclein Blue = nuclei
Stem cell-derived retinal ganglion cells. Green = B-3-tubulin, red + blue = nuclear markers. Low seeding density to examine networking capacity - look at the size of those neurites! We aren’t yet sure what the green speckles (varicosities?) in the neurites are - questions, questions. Taken at 10X magnification.
