This streaming video shows a small number of the millions of amazing things that are happening within cells and also between cells millions of times every day [3:09].

The scientific finding of the year has to be the reprogramming of adult somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (IPS cells).
The first talk was by Irving Weissman, one of the pioneers in immunology and stem cell research. He talked about the stem cells that form blood, also known as HSCs or hematopoietic stem cells.
wow, thats amazing...but is all of it real???
especially that blue roundish thing sort of walking around, like. don't think i am stupid, but i am just not an expert in microbiology!!! ;)
however, i am an expert in Astronomy, and you can check out my science blog at http://science-core.jaywebdesigns.com/
i write articles on everyday Technology, as well as Science(mainly Astronomy).
can we exchange links??? if so, you can just leave a comment at my blog, and i'll link to you. then you can also link to me!!!
Thanks

Great find... I'd heard about the video few months ago for but kept forgetting to google it.
It almost (almost!) make me want to take up biochemistry again. It was always frustrating for me that I couldn't visualise what was going on in the cell. I mean, I'm sure the ribosome is more than two ovals with a use sticking out of the top.

Srikanth: what you see in that is "real" in the sense that they are all good-faith efforts to CGI-render visualisations of cellular processes which really happen. You can get the video without the cool music and with the explanation of what's going on at:

(which, to be honest, makes it much less mind-blowing.)
