March for Science today!
Please get out and tell your government you care about FACTS and TRUTH.
PS: This is an endothelial cell grown in the lab. These are the cells that comprise the inner lining of your blood vessels. The yellow color marks the structures these cells use to grab to each other. In blue we can see the actin cytoskeleton (the structure that determines the cell shape and allows it to move) and in grey is the nucleus, where all the DNA information is stored.
This image made the cover of the Journal of Biological Chemistry many years ago.
Original magnification: 630:1
To give you an idea of size, the grey nucleus has a diameter of about 1/50th of a millimeter.
