This image shows some artistically arranged fibroblasts. The cells have been labeled with phalloidin that has been conjugated to a green fluorescent dye. Phalloidin is a protein that binds to the filamentous form of the protein actin and is commonly used to demonstrate the cytoskeletal architecture of cells. The nucleus is stained with another common immunofluorescent DNA stain called DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole).

Fibroblasts are one of the most common cells in the body. They synthesize and secrete the collagen fibers and ground substance (extracellular matrix) of our connective tissue.

🍕Happy Pizza Day 🍕

Sometimes cells remind me of food.

These are epithelial cells from an adenocarcinoma of the lung.

An adenocarcinoma is a tumor that is derived from the epithelial cells of glandular tissues. The pizza was obtained from a nodule on the lung. An endoscope with an ultrasound attached to it was used to guide a needle directly into the nodule and some cells were then sucked out for observation. The technique is called endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration or EUS/FNA for short. Aspirates like this allow pathologists to determine whether the cells in the nodule looked normal or cancerous so they can recommend appropriate treatment and/or surgery to remove the tumor.
