Nerve cell growth. Light micrograph of nerve cells (neurons) that have been grown in culture. Each neuron has a cell body (dark) that is connected to other cell bodies by neurites (thin extensions,either axons or dendrites) to form a network. Neurons transmit electrical signals around the body,especially the brain and the spinal cord. These neurons have been grown from NT2 cells,a human teratocarcinoma cell line capable of differentiation into nerve cells. Research like this may discover methods of neural regeneration that could treat spinal paralysis and other nerve disorders | |
