The Inner Life of the Cell

Filed under: Net News

Here's some fantastic animation by XVIVO, LLC, a Connecticut based scientific visualization company. Developed for Harvard's Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, to illustrate "a three-dimensional journey through the microscopic world of a cell", the animation was recently featured at Siggraph 2006 expo. This seems to be a collection of clips to illustrate a larger set of work, which we hope will help Harvard students do better than they have on their MCATs in the coming years.

Many more animations can be viewed on company's website...

UPDATE: XVIVO also offers a first-person shooter game designed to promote Genentech's Avastin, an anti-angiogenic agent approved for the treatment of cancer of the colon or rectum.
