Inner cell life and other XVIVO studio projects

After viewing the note, it was clear that DNA was surprised that this was not yet at Habré. I decided to fill the gap. In addition, in the comments mentioned one of the most popular videos, with him and start.
In 2006, by order of Harvard University, XVIVO Studio created a series of animated videos on cell biology. The first video “The inner life of the cell” demonstrates the mechanism by which white blood cells are able to sense the environment and respond to external signals.
Videos subsequently published on the Harvard University website BioVisions

The picture (frame from video) shows the elements of the cell anatomy:
Microtubules are guides that move bubbles to the cell membrane or away from it. They are located throughout the cage. The structure of microtubules is constantly changing. A special motor protein moves along them, which drags a vial. Inside the bubble can be everything that is formed in the cell - a sort of "big bag with a bunch of good or a bunch of shit." By the way, the movement along microtubules was discovered relatively recently, which later formed a whole section of science.
Protein threads - actin - carcass-forming cells. It is in dynamics - formed, disintegrates, so that the cell is able to change shape.

How could a cure for AIDS work

A video developed for the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) shows how an AIDS vaccine can work in the body. Created to represent IAVI at the TED conference in February 2010. The video covers key elements of the immune system and shows the intended immune response to HIV after vaccination.

Healing visualization

This animation demonstrates how our immune system identifies and kills particles that are foreign to the body. Macrophages recognize foreign particles and swallow them. Lymphocytes activate the process of destruction of absorbed microbes, also activate the remaining lymphocytes. Created for www.cancervisulization.com (for some reason not active ...) based on Deepak Chopra cancer research.

Stem cell science

It describes the creation of embryonic stem cells and the diversification process that pluripotent cells undergo in order to become a substitute for cells in tissues and organs damaged by force or disease.

The behavior of the virus in the body

The scheme of penetration of the virus into our body, and then into the cell. When a virus penetrates into a cell, it turns into a vesicle, such as in the first video, and then it is dragged along the microtubule to the cell nucleus. The RNA of the virus enters the nucleus, multiplies, after which the virus spreads to the remaining cells.

To make comments to the video helped his wife, for which she thanks a lot! she recently defended a degree in molecular biology.
