The Structural Network

A fluorescence microscopy image of a cell population against a dark background. The majority of the cells are labeled with a bright red fluorescent marker, appearing as scattered, irregular shapes. A small cluster of cells in the upper-left quadrant is distinctly labeled in neon green, with a single bright green dot visible in the lower-left. The image shows the spatial distribution and overlap of these two differently labeled cell types

Description: We wanted to investigate the role of a structural network formed during gene activation. In green are cells that allow the network to form, and in red are cells that are prevented from forming a network.
