Rachid Sougrat's winning image

Competition Winner:

Rachid Sougrat, PhD
Section of Organelle Biology (Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz Lab)

The picture is a 3D rendering of the most fascinating organelle in a mammalian cell: the Golgi Apparatus. This piece of Golgi ribbon, from a mouse spermatid, was imaged with an electron microscope using the tomography technique. Its complex architecture illustrates the complexity of its function.

Wenge Zhu's image

Wenge Zhu, PhD
Section on Eukaryotic Gene Regulation (Melvin L. DePamphilis Lab)

Two cancer cells (breast cancer cells). Both cells are GFP labeled. Big cell in center is a dying cell with re-replicated DNA and falling apart nucleus, induced by depletion of geminin, a DNA replication inhibitor. The giant cell just de-attached the culture dish. The small cells on the shoulder of giant cell is untreated cells with normal size. Light blue is nuclei and green color represents the whole cell.
