A microscope image of a mini brain organoid showing layered neural tissue and different types of neural cells.
Microscope image of human astrocytes, star-shaped brain cells that play a substantial role in neurological disorders.
Microscope images showing brain tissue that has been damaged by white matter stroke (left) and then repaired by the new glial cell therapy (right). Myelin (seen in red), is a substance that protects the connections between neurons and is lost due to white matter stroke. As seen at right, the glial cell therapy (green) restores lost myelin and improves connections in the brain.

Image showing brain cells with lower levels of Foxp1 function (at left) and higher levels (right). Apical radial glia are stained in green and secondary progenitors and neurons stained in red.
Image shows post-natal mouse spinal cord with the protein cofilin in red at left. At right, the cofilin (in red) has been inactivated by the gene Limk1. Neurons are shown in green and motor neurons in blue.
