We’re going under the skin for this one.

Be the first scientist to grow three new kinds of cells in your lab to win!

Students investigate the causes of disease and study the size of pathogens compared with human immune cells.

This set of bits will teach you about the tiny world on which life depends: the parts inside a cell.

This set of bits will teach you about the tiny pieces that you are made of: your very own cells.

While you play and experiment you can also learn about proteins, the tiny building blocks that make all living things work.

In this activity, we will use common household products or processes to denature egg proteins in two main ways—by cooking them, and by exposing them to concentrated alcohol (ethanol).

You can now look inside of cells to learn more about their parts in our Cell Viewer.

In this invader game, you will defend the cells of the body against molecules of scorpion venom using antivenom.

Diabetes affects nearly one tenth of the population in the United States, but we still have a lot to learn about the disease. Researchers are finding that a lack of specific proteins might reduce our abilities to absorb sugar, making it a key player in the diabetes problem.

Did you ever think the search for the “fountain of youth” would end up inside of our very own cells? There are some scientists that have found that parts of our cells might hold the answer to aging and diseases like cancer.

Bacteria become damaged as they age just like humans do, so where does all this damage go?
