Cells, Cities, and Cellular Signaling: An Urban Analogy

How is type 2 diabetes like a mile of bad road? And what does scaffolding have in common with a tadpole’s tail? This innovative program combines hard science with urban analogies and high-tech imaging to illustrate how cells interact via the signals they send. Information on cell division, cell differentiation, and programmed cell death provides a springboard for MIT’s Robert Horvitz and other experts to talk about the mechanics of type 2 diabetes, the ethics of culturing skin for grafting using embryonic stem cells, cellular damage by free radicals that accelerates aging, and cancer-causing aberrations in the cellular signaling system. Produced by the Open University. (30 minutes)
