This image may look like a pile of colorful fall l This image may look like a pile of colorful fall leaves that you are seeing outside this time of year, 🍂 but there’s a whole lot more going on under the microscope These are human embryonic kidney cells, glowing in different colors based on where they are in the cell cycle; the process cells use to grow and divide. What looks like a fall mosaic is actually a snapshot of cells at different stages of life. In the lab of Jorge Plutzky, MD, Aspasia Tzani, MD, PhD, and the team are trying to understand when and how endothelial cells actively cycle and what makes them unique. Doing so could help the researchers better understand diseases where cell growth goes awry, including cancer, inflammation, neurological and ischemic diseases and aging.
