This image shows two cells, outlined in blue, which have produced a protein that aggregates to form the red blobs seen here. This protein, Ataxin-1, is associated with neurological disorder. These cells and this protein are not naturally blue and red, but have had fluorescent proteins attached to them making them appear these colors. This common visualization technique results in stunning pictures of life at the cellular level.
