Nestin positive cells in epiretinal membranes removed surgically, from the posterior retina. Composite of nestin positive cells in epiretinal membranes removed surgically. All scale bars represent 20 μm. (A) A clump of nestin positive cells, with elongated fibrous processes in an epiretinal membrane removed surgically. All nestin positive cells identified in epiretinal membranes (ERM) had elongated and fibrous processes. (B) A high power view of nestin positive cells in an ERM. Not all cells are nestin positive. Immunofluorescence demonstrates that GFAP (C, green) and nestin (D, red) co-localises in many cells in epiretinal membranes (E).
