Note the homogeneity of the cells.

Blue is cell nucleus, geen is nestin (neural stem cell marker), red is GFAP, a marker of astroglia but also expressed in some neural stem cells. Combination images bottom panels. Note cellular migration away from the aggregate.	175 Kb - 300 Dpi - 15x11 cm © Ectins project - Picture provided by Prof. John Sinden High power image at edge of aggregate culture as in TnestFITC4 above showing migration away from the aggregates. Blue is cell nucleus, geen is nestin (neural stem cell marker), red is GFAP, a marker of astroglia but also expressed in some neural stem cells. Combination images bottom panels.
