Cell membrane, artwork C016 / 0614
Computer artwork of a cutaway side view of the human cell membrane. The cell Membrane is a complex part of the cell that controls what can get in and out of the cell. The membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells. Shown is the lipidlayer (blue), a tunnel protein (brown, in the foreground left), carrier proteins (brown, in the foreground right). In the background carbohydrate chains (green), collagen (red) and fybronectin glycoprotein (orange)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cell membrane, artwork C016 / 0614" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of cellular biology. The image showcases a cutaway side view of the human cell membrane, which serves as a crucial component responsible for regulating the movement of substances in and out of cells. The complexity of this vital structure becomes apparent as we observe its various elements. The lipid layer, depicted in striking blue hues, forms the foundation upon which other components rest. In the foreground on the left, a tunnel protein stands prominently in brown tones, while carrier proteins occupy the foreground on the right. Delving deeper into this microscopic realm reveals an array of fascinating details. Carbohydrate chains emerge from the background in vibrant green shades, accompanied by collagen fibers portrayed vividly in red and fybronectin glycoprotein glowing orange. It is within this dynamic environment that selective permeability to ions and organic molecules occurs - an essential function performed by these meticulously arranged components. Through diffusion and controlled transport mechanisms facilitated by proteins such as receptor channels and carrier proteins, this remarkable cell membrane ensures precise regulation over what enters or exits each individual cell. As we marvel at this stunning artwork captured by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, it serves as a reminder that even at minuscule scales unseen to our naked eye lies an extraordinary world brimming with life's fundamental processes.
