From the creators of the award-winning and inspiring “Inner Life of a Cell,” comes the latest exploration into the bustling world inside our cells. Produced by BioVisions, a scientific visualization program at Harvard’s Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, and a Connecticut-based scientific animation company called Xvivo, Powering the Cell: Mitochondria gives us an intimate view of those sausage-like organelles that turn food into energy.

OMG, they’ve done it! A full facial transplant, how rad. I mean, I still think it’s kinda weird that that you could be walking around looking like someone totally different (that must be a huge psychological adjustment), but if this all works out, it’s a great step for those who have severe facial deformities/disfigurements. Check out this link for an animated video of the procedure. The video is pretty cool, I wonder if more details will unfold as the patient recovers, must stay tuned.
The man, who is in his thirties but has not been identified, suffered severe disfigurement and lost his nose, jaw, and other parts of his face when he accidentally shot himself in 2005.
Despite previous surgical attempts to restore his appearance, he had severe difficulties breathing, swallowing and speaking and was left with nothing but a hole between his mouth and where his nose should have been.
The young patient originally contacted surgeons after being inspired by the case of Isobel Dinoire, the French woman who received the first partial face transplant in 2005.
Amazing animation and concept for the Special Olympics by designer Vincent Viriot. Beautifully done in my opinion and just a great memorable ad. Well done!
Welcome to the Corpus Interactive Museum! Located in Holland, the museum is shaped like a giant human body, and that is precisely what it is. An educating and entertaining experience, the museum is an interactive ride through the human body!
The Video is all in Dutch, but is definitely worth watching to get a glimpse of the journey!
The tour begins on an escalator ride through a wound in the calf. Once inside visitors experience the body’s reaction to a wood splinter. After the 3D fertilization movie, guests follow a block of cheese as it makes its way down the digestive tract. Other exhibits feature the heart, lungs, mouth, and of course the brain. A beanbag game even allows visitors to try and take down bacteria before it can cause an infection.
