Realization
This work integrates the confocal microscope image of induced neurons (iNs) deriving from fibroblasts that form the tentacles of a jellyfish.
We decided to represent jellyfish to remind people that fluorescent fluorophores are derived from nature, such as jellyfish, sponges, and so on.
This work of art describes the relationship between nature and technology, we are able to visualize the cells, in this case iNs, through fluorophores deriving from nature, here is the jellyfish.
Biology
The induced neurons (iNs) after 25 days in culture are stained green with BIII-Tubulin and the nuclei are marked in blue (Hoechst).
