Intracellular transport, artwork C013 / 5001
Intracellular transport. Computer artwork of a vesicle (sphere) being transported along a microtubule (blue and green) by a kinesin motor protein (orange). Kinesins are able to walk along microtubules. Microtubules are polymers of the protein tubulin and are a component of the cytoskeleton

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Intracellular Transport" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the intricate world of cell biology. The print showcases a computer-generated image that beautifully illustrates the process of intracellular transport within a living cell. At its core, this artwork depicts a vesicle, represented as a spherical structure, being transported along a microtubule by an orange-colored kinesin motor protein. Microtubules, depicted in shades of blue and green, are essential components of the cytoskeleton – the structural framework inside cells. Kinesins play a crucial role in cellular transportation by enabling them to "walk" along microtubules like tiny molecular motors. This dynamic interaction between kinesin and microtubule is visually portrayed with precision and artistic flair. The vibrant colors and meticulous detailing bring to life the complex processes occurring within our cells every day. Through this artwork, we gain insight into how proteins like tubulin form microtubules that act as highways for transporting vital cargo throughout the cytoplasm. Gunilla Elam's masterpiece not only captures scientific accuracy but also evokes awe and wonder at the intricacies of life at its most fundamental level. It serves as a reminder that even within microscopic realms lies an extraordinary symphony orchestrated by nature itself. This print from Science Photo Library invites us to delve deeper into the fascinating realm of cell biology while simultaneously celebrating both artistry and science intertwined harmoniously together.
