Cells treated with Paclitaxel have increased Detyr-microtubule content. HeLa cells were treated for 2 hours with 5 µM of paclitaxel (Taxol®) a known microtubule stabilizing agent. Stabilized microtubules (green) are visualized using a Detyr-tubulin antibody. Actin microfilaments (red) are stained with fluorescent phalloidin and cell nuclei are stained in blue, using Hoechst reagent.

Cells treated with LIMK inhibitor Pyr1 have increased Detyr-microtubule content. HeLa cells were treated for 2 hours with 25 µM of Pyr1, the newly discovered LIMK inhbitor. Stabilized microtubules (green) are visualized using a Detyr-tubulin antibody. Mitochondria (red) are stained using mitotracker ® and cell nuclei are stained in blue, using Hoechst reagent

CNRS Images,

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.
