Uses microphotography to look at the world of the cell inside the human body, a world where each individual cell is programmed to die. The notion that cell death gives birth to life has major implications...
Cinematographic sequences and supplementary freeze frames are organised in chapters with comprehensive menus and subject indexes integrated in the disc. When linked to a computer, the disc can form the basis...
Demonstrates basic microbiological techniques using the theme of bacterial sporulation. Concentrates on two species of bacteria: bacillus cereus and bacillus thuringiensis. Shots of laboratory and industrial...
The turbulent, circulatory or rotational streaming of cytoplasm and its variations (tramline-, mantle- and fountain-streaming) as well as shuttle-streaming shown in the following: ‘Allium’,...
Describes the complex series of processes that are constantly occurring within a cell. These processes are carried out by a number of organelles, and much about the function of specific cells can be learned...
Comprehensive fundamental demonstration of mitosis as exemplified in animal and plant cells, using animation sequences. The clawed toad ‘Xenopus laevis’; tissue culture cells from the tadpole heart; the...
Shows James Thomson’s laboratory at the University of Wisconsin where embryonic stem cells were first cultured. Discusses what embryonic stem cells are, how they are cultured, and why they offer such...
Documentary charting the history and scientific evolution of stem cell research - from the earliest experiments that first revealed stem cells in the body, to leading current scientific and clinical...
Microtubules are microscopic elements which provide cell extensions, such as cilia and flagella, with a more or less rigid form. They are present in the long, needle-like extensions, called axopodia, of the...
A brief introduction to the process of growth in long bones prefaces four computer-animation sequences that simulate cell division and maturation in the cartilage columns of the growth plate. Three cell...
