A microscope image of the junction between a nerve cell (red) and a muscle fibre (blue) in a muscle. The junction is surrounded by ‘capping cells’ (green), which were discovered at the University of Edinburgh. Researchers in the Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Research are investigating how these cells might help repair damaged nerves as part of research to better understand neuromuscular diseases, such as Motor Neurone Disease.

Super quick edit using Gimp on my desktop lol. don't know if the tones are right since this monitor isn't perfectly calibrated
I was exploring the area east of Railtown, and discovered these wonderful painted walls. I love how much wall art there is in the city.
Photos from the Cops and Rodders car show in Hull, MA 2014. Lots of muscle cars, antique vehicles and sports cars on display.

City of Hope scientists are delving into the intricacies of muscle cell metabolism to understand how those cells gain nutrients, generate energy and develop into muscle tissue. Janice Huss, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases Research at City of Hope, and her team used three fluorescent dyes — red, green and blue — to visualize different parts of muscle cells, called myocytes, as they fuse together to form myotubes, the basic structures of muscle tissue.
The blue dye stains DNA in the oval nuclei. Red shows mitochondria, the power generators of cells, which are actively producing energy. Green marks a protein called PGC-1a, which controls genes that are important in muscle cell metabolism. The researchers’ work could lead to a better understanding of the factors contributing to muscle diseases, including heart disease, as well as diabetes and other metabolic syndromes.
