FEATURE IMAGE - Alzheimer's Society research - brain stem cells. Researchers like Dr Charlie Arber use stem cells - cells which don't have a?special function yet - to grow human brain cells in a dish. This can help to understand how dementia starts. This flower-like picture shows a neural rosette - a group of cells which are half way to becoming a brain cells. The green strands are cells turning into brain cells around the edges of the rosette.
