Cell Signals (Part 2 of 2)

Journey inside a cell as you follow proteins and learn about cellular interactions. This 3-D animation brings to life the inner workings of a fibroblast cell as it responds to external signals. Created by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Interactive Knowledge, Inc. Narrated by Doug Thomas. Voice recording courtesy of Tonic.

Great illustration...thanks!

@crowesarethebest Glad you enjoyed it.

Bravo to the whole team. This accessible, but nonetheless accurate representation of a signalling pathway points out how relevant modern technology is to modern understanding.

I dream of a day where anyone will be able to browse inside a digital cell to witness metabolic pathways. How cool would that be ?

[bruswan]

Well done.

Most of the protein structures are grossly incorrect. Any structural biologists would have legitimate complaints about how they are represented. Especially the microtubules and ribosomes.

Nonetheless, the video is beautiful, and it's great that videos like this are being made to help explain some modern biology to non-scientists.

thank you so much, this stuff is all very difficult for me to conceptualize, being a visual learner... This really does help. It doesn't hurt that the quality and choreography are stunning either.

Great video, very explanatory, good voice of the narrator. 5/5
