Cool Animation of Cellular Processes

Category: Education
Posted on: September 5, 2006 11:12 AM, by Alex Palazzo

Here is a link to an awesome animation (via Pure Pedantry). You have your membranes, actin and microtubule cytoskeleton, kinesin based vesicular transport, mRNA nuclear export, protein synthesis and coinsertional translocation into the ER, and membrane traffic from the Golgi to the plasma membrane. (Hey almost everything I've ever worked on!)

That cellular animation is quite impressive, Alex.

It's bloody impressive.

Doesn't get across the feel of the CHAOS and EXCITEMENT and how utterly, utterly crowded the cell is, but a compromise had to be made to get this point across.

I absolutely *adore* the kinesin, doggedly trudging up the µtubule. . .

A long time ago came a man on a track/Walking forty miles with a pack on his back/
He put down his load where he thought it was the best/And built a home in the wilderness. . .
