Cell membrane, artwork C016 / 0609
Computer artwork of a cutaway side view of the human cell membrane. The cell Membrane is a complex part of the cell that controls what can get in and out of the cell. The membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells. Shown is the lipidlayer (light blue), a tunnel protein (orange, in the foreground). In the background carbohydrate chains (green), collagen (red) and fybronectin glycoprotein (orange, right)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cell membrane, artwork C016 / 0609" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of cell biology. The image showcases a cutaway side view of the human cell membrane, which serves as a vital component in controlling the movement of substances in and out of cells. The complexity and importance of this cellular structure are beautifully depicted through various elements. The lipid layer, portrayed in light blue hues, forms the foundation of the membrane. In the foreground stands a tunnel protein represented by an eye-catching orange color, symbolizing its role in facilitating selective permeability. As our gaze moves towards the background, we encounter carbohydrate chains depicted in vibrant green shades that contribute to cellular recognition processes. Additionally, collagen fibers painted red and fybronectin glycoprotein shown on the right with an orange hue further emphasize the diverse composition within this microscopic landscape. Through this stunning visual representation captured by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, viewers gain insight into how this delicate barrier regulates what can enter or exit cells. It highlights not only its function as a protective shield but also its role as a gateway for essential ions and organic molecules necessary for cellular processes. Without explicitly mentioning commercial use or any specific company affiliation, this photograph invites us to marvel at nature's intricacies while reminding us of humanity's ongoing quest to unravel life's mysteries at its most fundamental level.
