"Electric fish recognize other members of their own species using the species-specific waveforms of these heartbeatlike discharges," write the team lead by Matthew Arnegard of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle who created the image. Glowing green orbs surrounded by bubbles reveal systems intended to produce muscle stem cells and images of species of electric fish are trailed by recordings of the discharges. The winners include one image depicting a scaffold, which resembles the weave of a fabric, upon which cells can grow to form new tissue.
Even so, the winning entries included brightly colored and sometimes abstract images. The winning entries weren't ranked and all were generated by scientists as a byproduct of of biomedical research.Īrt wasn't the purpose of research to create artificial stem cell factories, explore the biological basis for psychiatric disease or look at the production of new neurons in the adult brain. This year, 10 images out of about 100 entries were honored in the first Bio-Art Competition, created by the Federation for American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB).
A pink butterfly, fluorescent mountains and glowing green orbs surrounded by bubbles are some of the imagery that appears in the winning entries in a "bio-art" competition, which sought to highlight the most artistic portrayals of biomedical research.
