Cell Signals (Full length)

Journey inside a cell as you follow proteins and learn about cellular interactions. This 3-D animation brings to life the inner workings of a fibroblast cell as it responds to external signals. Created by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Interactive Knowledge, Inc. Narrated by Doug Thomas. Voice recording courtesy of Tonic.

The format makes it appear that I am watching this through a mailbox slot.

I'm sad that tRNA didn't make an appearance but this is the best animation I've seen on Youtube so far.

This video is wonderfully made. It has that retro twilight zone music in the background to accompany the graphics, phenomenal. Will be showing to my students, thank you so much - Educator from NYC.

ok but wait …why do I feel like I am watching a murder documentary ?! this is a masterpiece though ! thank you !

This video just gave me the inspiration I needed to keep studying for my Biology final. I'm truly amazed at how much knowledge I've gained this year. As the ligand was accepted by the receptor, and amplification began everything fell into place. It's just crazy that I actually know what's going on, especially when I recognized the myosin's moving along the actin filaments before you illustrated it. Great video, thanks !!!!

Design design design and intelligent design at that. Genius.

[tejasvinimehta]

Amazing way of depicting such complex actions and mechanism.. thankyou ☺

[kittikei]

Wow! This is the best animation ive seen!

Great video! A minor comment: I think it should have a little clock in the corner, so that you could see approximately how long each step in the process took.

No one realized that this video is like a movie that leaves you with a lesson

We are made of nanomachines. We are made of molecular machinery. We are chemical machines... and it is amazing.

It would also be helpful to have some idea how fast some of these interactions occur. I'm guessing everything is slowed down for us to comprehend it. I've seen later videos show the gene transcription happening at a really fast rate - maybe 10x faster than what you're showing.

I lime the way the person who is speaking is explaining things, otherwise all other lecturers of professors and doctors of top class uniceristy I found them pretty boring and take away my interest invovlement n curiosity to know, but these person and the animation, both are great.it will be great if you guys teach biology all over the world, I feel all the other students also feel the way of even top class universities.

@spinspermy You're very welcome! :)

[komabsu]

It is very useful and effective video, even for an international student like me. ^^

Great video! A minor comment: The video didn't tell anything about how fast it goes. I think it could be interesting to have a little clock in the corner of the video, so you could see how long each step in the process took.

I liked it. I found it to be very informative.
