Cellules HUVEC observées en microscopie à force atomique

3D view of HUVEC endothelial cells observed using an atomic force microscope. In this view, the topology of the cell is shown on the left, and an elasticity map on the right. By manipulating this type of cell, research scientists are notably studying infection by N. meningitidis bacteria and intoxication processes involving S. aureus EDIN or anthrax EF.

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
