Intracellular transport, artwork C013 / 4997
Intracellular transport. Computer artwork of vesicles (spheres) being transported from a Golgi body (blue, left) around the cell by microtubules (string-like). Microtubules are polymers of the protein tubulin and are a component of the cytoskeleton. The vesicles are attached to the microtubules by kinesin motor protein (orange), which walks along the microtubule

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Intracellular Transport" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the microscopic world of biology. The print showcases the intricate process of vesicles being transported within a cell, revealing the complexity and beauty hidden within our own bodies. The vibrant blue Golgi body stands out as the central hub from which these tiny spheres embark on their voyage. They navigate through the cell with precision and grace, propelled by string-like microtubules that form an essential part of the cytoskeleton. These microtubules are composed of tubulin protein polymers, creating a delicate filamentous network throughout the cell. What truly captures our attention is how these vesicles attach themselves to the microtubules using kinesin motor proteins depicted in striking orange hues. Like diligent walkers along a path, they ensure each vesicle reaches its intended destination within this bustling cellular landscape. Gunilla Elam's artistic interpretation beautifully illustrates this crucial biological phenomenon while highlighting its aesthetic appeal. It serves as a reminder that even at such minuscule scales, there is an inherent elegance to be found in every corner of nature. This thought-provoking artwork not only celebrates scientific discovery but also invites us to marvel at the wonders unfolding inside ourselves every moment—a testament to both human ingenuity and Mother Nature's extraordinary design.
