Fetal cells internalizing trophoblastic sEV

 

This confocal picture is presenting sEV from trophoblastic cells internalized by MRC5 fetal cells. Trophoblastic sEV play a major role in maternofetal communication. The interest of this picture, besides being beautiful, is picturing on a focal plan at least 11 fetal cells all of them having internalized sEV, it is not zoomed in at the one cell selected for its characteristics as often in confocal microscopy. We also see by zooming the presence of green staining (sEV) in the narrow cells extension that could be indicative of an active transport that could be further investigated.
