The beautiful intricacies of an electrified neuronal network: SH-SY5Y cells upon 7 days of neuronal differentiation and daily capacitive electrical stimulation. The neuronal network of N-type cells stands out through a β-III-tubulin labelling (green). Supporting S-type cells beneath the neuronal network are seen through F-actin labelling by phalloidin (red). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). The image was acquired in a Zeiss LSM 880 with Airyscan confocal microscope using a 10x objective.
