This is a link post "The inner life of the cell"
that's about as good a description you'll get from me

This is a normal post thats pretty cool
I'll do a longer bio description for it after my exam if you like.
Although I didnt recognise a few bits.

This is a normal post I rather like that.
What's more I think I understood roughly everything that was going on. I liked the assembly of the various filiments, though something felt wrong about the kinesin walking the vesicles along. Not sure what the transmigration of the leukocyte had to do with the inner life of the cell though.

Oh. I've made it sound all sciencey, it's also very pretty!

This is a normal post ok will do my best but my cell biology is rusty,
With the macrophages walking down the sides of the blood vessels. These are the blue ones and they are wandering waiting to be called into action to either follow chemokine or epithelial cell signals and move through the epithelial wall into the tissue (this happens at the end) or to go into action in the blood stream.

As you see, this cell finds receptors displaying the signals it needs in order to activate These are those branched like molecules coming off the top of the screen.
Then we move into the cell to the underside of the receptors where the signal starts to move through the cell. Through the cytoskeleton of the cell.
Then we have what I assume is meant to be the formation of RNA and then transciption leading to produciton of proteins needed. The tubes being formed are microtubules and the vesicles being transported along.
Then the tRNA shoots out and is synthesised into proteins by Ribosomes. Which start to fold.
Then a shot of a mitochondria - the cells powerplant - looks like a soggy sausage roll.

Then more proteins being produced I think, and put into vesicles. Then Proteins enter the endoplasmic reticulum, and are transported out the cell via the golgi aperatus and exocytosis.

These are extracellular membrane proteins that have been formed which then attach to epithelia and lead to the movement of the macrophage through the tight junctions of the epithelium,

Not the best description but I only had 5 minutes.
