Cell membrane, artwork C013 / 7467
Computer artwork of a cutaway 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 are the protein channels in blue, protein molecules in red, carbohydrate chain in green and the lipid bilayer in yellow. The proteins are embedded inside of the cell membrane. The lipid content of the membrane allows the cell membrane to automatically repair itself when it is torn

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a human cell membrane. The cell membrane, a vital component of every living cell, acts as a gatekeeper, regulating the entry and exit of substances. Its selective permeability allows ions and organic molecules to pass through while controlling their movement in and out of cells. In this artwork, we are presented with a cutaway view that reveals the inner workings of the cell membrane. The proteins channels are depicted in striking blue hues, embedded within the lipid bilayer represented by vibrant yellow tones. These protein molecules play crucial roles in various cellular processes such as signaling and transport. The presence of carbohydrate chains is highlighted in green, adding another layer of complexity to this remarkable structure. It is fascinating to observe how these components work together harmoniously to maintain cellular integrity. One notable feature captured here is the automatic repair mechanism enabled by the lipid content within the membrane. This ensures that any tears or damage inflicted upon it can be swiftly healed. Overall, this visually stunning artwork not only serves as an aesthetic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into our understanding of cell biology and biochemistry. It reminds us once again of nature's incredible ability to create intricate systems at microscopic levels.
