We promise this is not an image from a distant galaxy, but of a star-shaped cell which plays a supportive role in the human brain!
@MelCooperPhD took this beautiful image of an astrocyte found on the brain’s surface.⭐
#ARUKImageOfTheWeek @HaselPhilip @UKDRI
A big welcome to our new Group Leader in Edinburgh, @HaselPhilip!👏
During his postdoc, Dr Hasel discovered a distinct type of astrocyte, only found in a single cell layer on the brain's surface. He tells us what is so significant about these cells👉https://t.co/WFhcsxi3rp
Check out our first #ARUKImageOfTheWeek of 2024 👇
This is a pyramidal nerve cell found in the area of the brain that gathers information from our senses. Researcher @WarmingHannah investigates the electrical activity of these cells. @UniofOxford 🧠
Astrocytes are star-shaped cells that can relay signals from nerve cells in the brain to blood vessels.
@NeuroErinPhD investigates these cells in the lab and uses green fluorescent dye to stain the feet of the astrocytes! 💚 #ARUKImageOfTheWeek
@_sophiestanford and @w_mcewan are researching how inflammation affects tau protein build-up in the brain, a key driver of Alzheimer’s disease.
Look closely to see nerve cells (green), support cells (pink) and immune cells (white) - highlighted in the brain #ARUKImageOfTheWeek

Multi-colours highlight the different types of nerve cells in a brain region called the hippocampus! 🌈
@AslantasYaprak, a PhD candidate in @thecraiglab at @UofG_CfN is finding out how these cells are affected in dementia with Lewy bodies.

Did you know that you can see the build of amyloid in the #brain of a mouse with #Alzheimers disease? 🤯
@roset01 was looking at amyloid as it's been shown to be a key cause of the disease.
Check out this dazzling image of amyloid in a mouse brain! 🐁 #ARUKImageOfTheWeek #ARUK
Feeling the love in the lab this week! @daskoulidou from Cardiff @UKDRI took this beautiful image of microglia which are the brain’s immune cells.
This is a live image of microglia eating a toxic version of amyloid protein shown in green! #ARUKImageOfTheWeek
This #ARUKImageOfTheWeek shows the barrier that controls what enters the brain from the blood.
The green shows a protein called aquaporin 4, involved in waste removal. @roset01 was analysing how Alzheimer's disease changes its distribution on blood vessels in a mouse model. 🧠
Check out this amazing fluorescent image of the blood brain barrier in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.
The green staining is for a protein called aquaporin 4, which is involved in waste removal in the brain. This image was captured by @roset01. 🧡#ARUKImageOfTheWeek
This stunning #ARUKImageoftheWeek shows the brain cells of a mouse with Alzheimer's disease.
@roset01 is looking into how certain protein build up can lead to the disease. By better understanding how this mechanism works we will go onto produce better treatments. #ForACure

We've worked with @AlzResearchUK since 2011 ❣️
£5M raised by our colleagues & customers has supported many vital #research projects across the UK
We're delighted to fund Early Career Researchers’ work in #dementia with Lewy Bodies https://t.co/NMHWAEHe2I

Check out our #ARUKImageOfTheweek! 👇
Dr Daniel Erskine is researching what happens to the brain in dementia with Lewy Bodies. @DanielErsk1ne
In the lab he uses microscopes to look at these Lewy bodies up close and see how they affect nerve cells. 🔬
Our next #ARUKImageOfTheWeek captures stem cells in the process of turning into new-born nerve cells!
@celarber works in the @WraylabUCL to investigate how nerve cells in the brain work and what happens to them in diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

Nerve cells in the brain are organised into different layers. @WarmingHannah uses fluorescent imaging to study these cells from an area called the cerebral cortex.
Check out this image she took 👇

Happy #ARUKImageoftheWeek and #FluorescenceFriday!
Did you know that scientists can grow a ‘mini-brain’ in the lab to help study it?
@Wardiya_A_S and her team took this beautiful image of brain cells last week at the @FMkirbyNeuro centre 😍
What are these dancing cells? 💃🏻 They are immune cells called microglia that patrol our brain and 'eat up' any foreign or dead cells.
Images like this allow early career researcher @sophiesanford to study how microglia may contribute to Alzheimer's disease. #ARUKImageoftheWeek
Scientists at the @UKDRI are taking cells from people and reprogramming them to grow into small brains called ‘brain organoids’!
@NinaStoeberl found this 🧡 shaped organoid in her petri dish!
#ARUKImageoftheWeek
Can you believe that between our nerve cells are these tiny connections where information is passed from one cell to another?
Researchers are studying the cellular interactions in our brains to understand the diseases that cause dementia🧠
