This is a really exceptionally well done video. These processes shown really are the processes going on within a cell. What this video is depicting (for those that don't know) is an immune response. It shows white blood cells at the beginning drifting along in a bloodstream, and then goes on to show a cells inner processes in signalling to the immune system that there is an issue. Its really beautiful:) I can provide more details for those that are interested. |

We start out outside the cell, they zoom into it and we see the cell membrane and protein structures around it that make it move, into the inside of the cell where proteins interact to get work done, structural protein fibers self assembling, and then it takes us into the nucleas, where we see dna translated into RNA, assembled into proteins which are then processed and shipped to the cell membrane for use in fighting crime... errr infection. I wish they'd had this in biology class. This is amazing. |
