Neural progenitor cell differentiation. Fluorescence light micrograph of neural progenitor cells that have been grown in a medium that is selective for astrocytes for three weeks. Neural progenitor cells are able to differentiate into neurons (nerve cells) or support cells (glial cells), which include astrocytes. Astrocytes have been stained orange and neural progenitor cells green. Cell nuclei are blue. Neural progenitor cells are a potential source of cells to replace damaged or lost brain cells.

Bone marrow stem cell on colagen fibrils. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a stem cell from adult bone marrow on the surface of cartilage. Bone marrow is the tissue found in the hollow interior of bones. It makes several different types of cells, including white blood cells (leucocytes), red blood cells (erythrocytes), cartilage cells (chondrocytes) and bone cells (osteocytes). Image width is 42.6 microns.

Stem cell, 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 cell seen here is destined to become a blood cell. During blood cell development in adults, stem cells develop through a process known as haemopoiesis. Some red blood cells (erythrocytes) can be seen here (red). Blood cells have short lifespans and are therefore constantly produced by the bone marrow.
