This is an immunofluorescence image of a region of the brain called the dentate gyrus within the hippocampus, which is one of two places that neural stem cells reside in a rodent brain. In this image, neural stem cells in the brain are labeled by vimentin in red and Sox2, a marker for cells that are self-renewing, in cyan.
