Normal airway tissue, left, and lung cancer tissue, right, with an overabundance of basal stem cells (green). The activated form of beta-catenin (red) in the lung cancer can be targeted by the Wnt Inhibitor Compound 1.
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.
Differentiating human pluripotent stem cells (blue) turning into human germ cells (pink and white).
At left, image shows white blood cells (red) from one of the X-CGD clinical trial participants before gene therapy. At right, after gene therapy, white blood cells from the same patient show the presence of the chemicals (blue) needed to attack and destroy bacteria and fungus.

Microscopic image of scarring in a dish, showing evidence of fibrosis (red, green) and nuclei of all cells (blue).
Before and after: The tumor pictured on the left has metabolized a high amount of glucose, the sugar it needs to grow. The same tumor is shown on the right after it has been treated with a molecule that prevents it from consuming glucose.
