Macrophages in the peritoneum of mice deficient in the MafB transcription factor, exhibiting significant morphological modifications. These cells were cultivated for five minutes in a medium containing M-CSF (a cytokine), and were fixed and coloured using a phalloidin combined with TRITC (in red) to reveal the actin organisation. The MafB-deficient macrophages have prominent protuberances and are often branched. It was long thought that production of the various specialist cells from stem cells…

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.
