Nanospheres Attacking Cancer Cells

Nanospheres carrying drugs are targeted directly to the cancer cells. Digitally rendered for CR magazine.

Stem Cell

Digitally rendered for USC Alumni Trojan magazine.

Breat Cancer Stem Cells

Some hypothesize that there are cancer stem cells which must be targeted to fully destroy the cancer. Digitally rendered for CR magazine.

Stem Cells

Digitally rendered for the CR magazine.

Protein Creation

A look into a eukaryote cell to see how proteins are made. DNA in the nucleus is ‘read’ by RNA polymerase, then ribosomes in the cytoplasm produce an amino acid strand that folds into a functional protein. Digitally rendered for the National Science Foundation.

Receptor in the Lining of the Intestine

Digitally rendered for the University of California at Berkeley.

Apoptosis and Programmed Cell Death

A macrophage engulfs a dying tissue cell that has been mutated by carcinogens and is undergoing apoptosis. Digitally rendered for CR magazine.

Myosin Cellular Trafficking

A depiction of research on microtubules that are modified to direct cellular traffic. Digitally rendered for the National Science Foundation.

Dynein Cellular Motor

Research showing that microtubules that are modified to direct cellular traffic. Digitally rendered for the National Science Foundation.

Swimming E. coli

E. coli bacteria propel themselves forward by bundling several of the flagellum together. Digitally rendered for the National Science Foundation.

Malaria Infection of the Blood

The causative agent of malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, infects red blood cells. The parasite replicates itself until it bursts the host cell, ready to infect more. This cycle is what causes the hallmark cyclical fevers of malaria. Drawn in pen and ink, and colored digitally..

Protein Creation

A look into a eukaryote cell to see how proteins are made. DNA in the nucleus is ‘read’ by RNA polymerase, then ribosomes in the cytoplasm produce an amino acid strand that folds into a functional protein. Digitally rendered for the National Science Foundation.

Chemobrain

Patients undergoing chemotherapy must work harder at certain tasks to complete the same mental tasks. The inset shows normal brain activity. Created digitally for CR magazine.

Carbon Biofuel

A look into a eukaryote cell to see how proteins are made. DNA in the nucleus is ‘read’ by RNA polymerase, then ribosomes in the cytoplasm produce an amino acid strand that folds into a functional protein. Digitally rendered for CR magazine.

Artificial Cell

An engineered cell can be primed with antigens that will specifically target diseased cells, like those in tumors, where they can then release drugs. Digitally rendered for the National Science Foundation.

Metastasis

As cancer advances, it leaves teh primary tumor via blood and lymph vessels, to form secondary tumors elsewhere in the body. Digitally rendered for CR magazine.

Angiogenesis

Extreme Microbes in Yellowstone
