Molecular Motors: A Delivery Service Inside Our Cells

Inside our cells, tiny molecular machines called motor proteins work like delivery trucks. They travel along intracellular highways known as microtubules to get rid of waste, deliver nutrients and all the essential components the cell needs.

Description

Inside our cells, tiny molecular machines called motor proteins work like delivery trucks. They travel along intracellular highways known as microtubules to get rid of waste, deliver nutrients and all the essential components the cell needs.

Watch how these motors switch tracks to navigate around obstacles and keep everything running smoothly! Explore how scientists use the interactions between these motors and roadblocks to design miniature devices for detecting signs of diseases.
