Voyage inside the cell
Description
Within each human cell lies a world of complexity, populated by an amazing array of messenger molecules, miniature structures, and biochemical micro-machines. Composed entirely of 3-D computer animation, this spectacular program follows a hormone on its journey through inner space, where it penetrates a cell's membrane, reaches the nucleus, and induces mitosis. Cell components such as proteins, enzymes, the endoplasmic reticulum, and cytoplasm are all identified, while a memorable depiction of cell division deftly captures the awesome yet alien nature of cellular reproduction.
