Description: Three-dimensional culturing of human cells enables a more natural environment to study health and disease. This image shows stem-cell derived neurons extending their axons in a three-dimensional culture. By color-coding the layers (blue: bottom, red: top) of this 80 micrometers-thick culture its depth can be visualized. Image acquisition was performed by immunofluorescent labelling and confocal microscopy.
