If we could shrink by 10 million times, we would be able to
visit a living human cell, as if it were a small planet. In this
movie, based on scientific data and an animation technique
developed for biological visualization, viewers can get a
glimpse of some of the wanders that such trip could offer.
During the short visit, we will witness a moment important in
the life of all cells and organisms: the binding of a hormone to
its receptor, followed by the first effects triggered by this
event. Next, accompanied by an explanatory voice describing in

that, despite its minute dimension, is incredibly rich with all
sorts of fascinating environments, characters, and stories. Up
to now these have only been available to the experts, and this
movie is an example of the power of biological visualization for
curious minds of all ages. Loading more stuff… Hmm…it looks like
