February 2016: "Expression of NADPH diaphorase (a marker of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzyme activity) in rat cortical neurons"

Submitted by: Submitted by Dr Eoin Sherwin

Dr Eoin Sherwin is a post-doctoral researcher with the APC Microbiome institute. His research focuses on the development of live biotherapeutics for the treatment of autistic spectrum disorders.

The image depicts rat cortical neurons that has been stained with NADPH diaphorase. NADPH diaporase staining is indicative of cells that are actively producing the free radical gas, nitric oxide, via the enzymatic actions of nitric oxide synthase."
