A photomicrograph showing new tissue growing in the stroke cavity in a mouse. Red tubes are blood vessels; green filaments are nerve fibers.
A mouse heart with cardiomyocytes dissolved, leaving a 3-D scaffold of cardiac fibroblasts. Concentrated areas of red represent post-heart attack aggregation of cardiac fibroblasts.

Researchers led by Dr. Reza Ardehali used four different fluorescent-colored proteins to determine the origin of cardiomyocytes in mice.
Left: Olig2 expression (blue) results in reduced Hes gene expression (red) and increased motor neuron formation (green) in the developing mouse spinal cord. Right: in the absence of Olig2, Hes expression increases and motor neuron formation decreases.
