The Inner Life of the Cell
Although it is often arduous to imagine the microscopic cellular world, the following animation does a great job visualizing our knowledge of biochemistry and molecular biology into something that can be appreciated by the public at large. It’s easy to underestimate just how complex the inter-workings of a cell are, but our understanding, through the advances of science, is progressing towards an elucidation of the vast biological and biochemical systems that are at work to manifest and maintain life.
The Inner Life of a Cell, an three-minute animation created in NewTek LightWave 3D and Adobe After Effects for Harvard biology students, wont draw the kind of box office crowds that more ferocious˜and furrier˜digital creations did last Christmas. But it will share a place along side them in SIGGRAPH’s Electronic Theatre show, which will run for three days during the 33rd annual exhibition and conference in Boston next month. Created by XVIVO, a scientific animation company near Hartford, CT, the animation illustrates unseen molecular mechanisms and the ones they trigger, specifically how white blood cells sense and respond to their surroundings and external stimuli.
It’s Just amazing, I also attached that video before in one of my articles…..
It’s really amazing & no body can believe how much we carry inside our own cells a HUGE art & a huge amount of respect to life.
