The Inner Life of a Cell

My friend at Harvard sent me the link to this stunning animation. It portrays a number of biological processes, from translation, to diapedesis, to microtubule depolymerization, to (my favorite) vesicular transport along the cytoskeleton. It’s fun just trying to name all the molecules appearing in the panorama before they’re gone.
The video was created by John Libler and his team at XVIVO. It’s been around since last summer, but I somehow missed it! Amazing work.
