Nerve cell growth. Light micrograph of nerve cells (neurons) with immunofluorescent staining. These cells have been grown in culture

Nerve cell growth. Fluorescent light micrograph of a PC12 cell following stimulation by nerve growth factor. The cell body contains the nucleus (green)

Cultured nerve cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a cultured piece of spinal cord (centre). Each nerve cell (neuron) in the cord has an axon (long thin strand) growing from it

Nerve cell culture, SEM
Nerve cell culture. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of new growth from a cultured sample from a spinal cord. The numerous branching strands are neurites

Bacterial colonies. Petri dish containing colonies of bacteria cultured from a hand print found in a house. The print was lifted from a surface on a growth medium gel

Fungal infections, Artwork. Colonies of fungi on a petri dish with examples of fungal skin infections. In the background are fungal hyphae (filaments)

Cow biotechnology, conceptual image. This could represent animal cloning for either food or organ harvesting. It could also represent genetic research or genetically modified organisms

Cell culture research. Researcher using a light microscope to analyse cultured cells growing in a petri dish. These cells are growing in basal medium, an agar-based substance that contains nutrients

Cell culture research, centrifuge
MODEL RELEASED. Cell culture research. Researcher placing a cell culture sample in a centrifuge. This will be used to spin the sample and separate out the liquid and solid components

Pig biotechnology, conceptual image. This could represent animal cloning for either food or organ harvesting. It could also represent genetic research or genetically modified organisms

Stem cell on spoon. Conceptual computer artwork showing an enlarged stem cell on a spoon. A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell that can produce other types of cell when it divides

Cell culture research, electronics
Cell culture research. Pipette being used to add cultured cells (pink liquid) to a microchip that is connected to an electrical circuit with crocodile clips

Stem cell, conceptual artwork. A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell that can produce other types of cell when it divides

Cultured epithelial cells growing in colonies in a petri dish. These cells have developed from parental stem cells. Epithelial cells cover the entire body surface and many structures within it

Embryonic stem cell, SEM
Embryonic stem cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a mouse embryonic stem cell. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent

Stem cell, computer artwork. A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell that can produce other types of cell when it divides

Stressed culture cell, SEM

Cystic fibrosis stem cells. Light micrograph of human embryonic stem cells containing the mutation for cystic fibrosis (CF). Stem cells are able to differentiate into other cell types (pluripotent)

Cell culture research, fume cupboard
MODEL RELEASED. Cell culture research. Researcher using a pipette to handle a cell culture (pink). The pink liquid is a nutrient medium in which cells can be grown

Stem cells division, computer artwork
Computer artwork depicting division of stem cells. A stem cell is an undifferentiated call that can divide indefinitely in culture

Embryonic stem cells, SEM
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). ESCs are pluripotent, that is they are able to differentiate into any cell type

Vaccine production
DNA vaccine production. Technician checking the quality of a sample of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine. Traditional hepatitis vaccine contains the full virus

Penicillium mould colony. Penicillium is used to produce the antibiotic penicillin. Magnification: x60 when printed 10 centimetres wide

Cultured freshwater pearls
Cultured pearls from freshwater mussels. Pearls are accretions of nacre (calcium carbonate) secreted by certain oysters and mussels

Human embryonic stem cells, TEM
Stem cells. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a human embryonic stem cells (HESC, blue). HESCs are pluripotent

"Cultured: Exploring the Beauty and Complexity of Life's Artistry" Step into a world where art meets science, where beauty intertwines with knowledge. From ancient civilizations to modern breakthroughs, the concept of "cultured" takes on new meaning as we delve into the wonders of human creativity and scientific exploration. Intricate sculptures like the Bust of goddess Tanit transport us back to Carthaginian times, showcasing their mastery in capturing divine beauty through art. The attention to detail and craftsmanship displayed in these pieces is truly awe-inspiring. But our journey doesn't stop there; it delves deeper into the microscopic realm. Witnessing HeLa cells under a light micrograph reveals their intricate structures, reminding us that even at this minuscule level, life holds immense complexity and wonder. Glial stem cell cultures further highlight how different types of cells can be nurtured and grown in controlled environments for research purposes. Embryonic stem cells take center stage alongside a needle in an SEM image, symbolizing both hope for medical advancements and ethical debates surrounding their use. These versatile cells hold tremendous potential for regenerative medicine but also raise questions about ethics and boundaries. Neural stem cell cultures demonstrate our ability to cultivate specific types of brain cells outside their natural environment – a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of understanding our own minds. Nerve cells captured through SEM imagery showcase their intricate branching patterns that enable communication within our nervous system. Venturing beyond human biology, we encounter Vesicular stomatitis virus under TEM – an insight into microbial worlds that shape our existence. Bacterial cultures remind us that life thrives not only within ourselves but also all around us – invisible yet impactful. Finally, plant biotechnology emerges as another facet expression. Through genetic engineering techniques, scientists have harnessed nature's potential by modifying plants' genetic makeup for various purposes such as increased crop yield or disease resistance.
