Human stem cells have the astounding potential to differentiate into various types of cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), found in the bone marrow, are at the forefront of cutting-edge advances in medical applications such as skin wound healing and tissue regeneration. A key aspect of their regenerative potential is the ability of MSCs to migrate, which is controlled by a protein called actin. This image shows a culture of MSCs derived from human bone marrow, labelled with a fluorescent orange dye that binds to the actin, while a fluorescent blue stain (DAPI) lights up the cell nuclei. The orange dye helps us see the striking pointed shapes of the cells and the network of actin filament structures inside the cells that enables them to move to injured sites within the body. Insights into how these cells work could lead to breakthroughs in wound healing, regenerative medicine and more.
