Bone marrow stem cell, SEM
Bone marrow stem cell, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). This cell is known as a multipotential stem cell because it can form the precursors to every type of blood cell. During blood cell development the multipotential stem cell develops by a process known as haemopoiesis into either red blood cells (erythrocytes), or one of three types of white blood cell (granulocytes, lymphocytes or monocytes). Blood cells have short lifespans and are therefore constantly produced by the bone marrow

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bone marrow stem cell, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The intricate details of this multipotential stem cell are brought to life with vibrant colors against a striking black background. Known for its remarkable ability to give rise to various types of blood cells, this particular stem cell is referred to as multipotent. It serves as the precursor for all blood cell types, including red blood cells (erythrocytes) and three different types of white blood cells (granulocytes, lymphocytes, and monocytes). The process through which this multipotential stem cell develops into specific blood cells is called haemopoiesis. This fascinating journey takes place within the bone marrow, where new blood cells are constantly produced due to their relatively short lifespans. The false coloring technique used in this image enhances our understanding of the complex biology behind these vital components of our circulatory system. By studying bone marrow and its incredible capacity for generating diverse blood cells, researchers gain insights into genetics, adult stem cells' behavior, and the intricacies of hematopoietic processes. This awe-inspiring photograph from Science Photo Library captivates both scientists and enthusiasts alike by showcasing the beauty hidden within our own bodies while shedding light on crucial aspects of human health.
