Adding inflammation molecule TNF-α to hippocampal stem cells results in few cells developing into neurons.

Caption

Left: cells that did not have TNF-α added to them (control), right: 1ng/ml TNF-α was added to these cells. Blue marker shows the nuclei of all cells (DAPI), including stem cells. Green (MAP2) and yellow (DCX) shows proteins that are markers of neuron maturation. Scale bar (white line) shows 100 μm.
