Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Vivid Biology is a tiny company of designers and illustrators who specialise in biomedical sciences. With degrees and masters in biomedical sciences, and a flair for Photoshop and Illustrator, we're experts at helping people to explain things that are too small to see. We work with individual academics, biotech companies, and research institutes, to help bring their science to life. We also provide specialist support to medical communications, marketing teams and larger design agencies. We've got over ten years of experience distilling research papers into artwork for seminar posters, journal cover artwork, and marketing images. We extract the key messages from research papers, come up with visual concepts to represent them, then work these into beautiful compositions. We're good at creating figures that need to explain science without looking too 'scientific'. We inject just enough creative flair to give figures a unique visual identity without compromising on the underlying scientific information. We've worked with larger design and digital agencies to provide specialist support with biotechnology clients. We're good at making sure that the scientists are happy that the details are right, whilst still providing great visuals and following design and brand standards. We've helped with technical figures, concept sketching, and animation storyboarding, We once redrew and typeset over one hundred data figures for an academic manuscript in a weekend. We've got years of experience with redrawing figures, which means we're pretty quick at them. Unique technical illustrations that clearly communicate how things work Some of the companies, institutes and researchers we've worked with We like a challenge. We believe it’s possible to make great visuals whilst still getting the science right. If we think that there's a better way to show something we'll let you know. Making work that we're proud of, and that our clients love, is our most important measure of success. Clients trust us to meet the deadlines that we set, find ways to work within the budget, and to always bring our best ideas to demanding briefs.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. We offer to create whiteboard style animations, simple moving images, sequential images for you. Especially Universities, Research Institutes, Public engagement projects, as well as museums benefit from short animations. Animations are an easy way for new audiences to engage with their science. Engaging with an audience and leaving a lasting impression can be difficult. Limited attention spans mean that publics might not want to engage with your work as a long written article, but they may want to watch an elevator pitch animation or listen to an interview or discussion about the work with animated elements. Moving graphics often have more engagement on social media, and shorter formats can get your points across in a more concise manner. Depending on the audiences that you’re attempting to reach, animation could be a good fit. Here at Vivid Biology, we understand the science underpinning technical figures. We’re also adept at creating great designs that intuitively guide readers through a process. We can redraw data plots and figures to journal guidelines, either from original data or tracing vector files from images. We can also take previously published figures that you’ve got permission to reproduce, and redraw them as publication-ready vector files. If you need a graphical abstract or table of contents figure to go with a manuscript, we can take a pencil sketch or powerpoint mock-up and create a crisp, uniformly styled schematic that will help you stand out. We ask for an overview of your goals and budget. This is so that we can suggest the best fit for you in terms of animation style, length and complexity. We can work with all kinds of budgets. Sometimes it turns out that a sequence of images is a better fit for a project than an animation. We usually recommend this for presentations as images can easily be flicked between with a laser pointer. This makes it much easier to match narrative to visuals, and avoids issues trying to load, pause and rewind a video within Powerpoint at Vivid Biology, we understand the science underpinning technical figures. We’re also adept at creating great designs that intuitively guide readers through a process. The script tells us how long the animation will be, and helps us put a ballpark figure on the animation costing. Generally every 125 words will take a minute to say. We recommend that you write the speech, although we have some templates that you can use to write one minute and two minute elevator pitches. The script is also useful to pin down if you want to add subtitles to the animation later. We recommend that you narrate and record the audio in animations. Enthusiasm and expertise tend to come through more when it’s the scientists who did the research doing the narration. Voices are memorable, so it’s a nice reminder for when viewers meet you in person. If you don’t have audio recording facilities, or you don’t want to record your own audio, we have text-to-speech programmes that we can use to generate the audio for you. We’ve created audio versions of most of our blog posts if you want to try out a sample of this. The advantage is that you can make minor edits to the script without having to re-record the entire thing. Once the script is decided on, we’ll have a discussion about how many scenes you want, and how detailed these need to be. Often we’ll recommend one image every 10 seconds for shorter animations. For longer animations you might want to vary the pace, particularly if you think a large portion of your audience may only watch an executive summary in the first minute. Once we’ve worked how to distribute scenes, we’ll get sketching to work out what sort of imagery should be showing for each point on the audio. We expect there to be a few rounds of back and forth with this so that we can get everything just right. It’s much better to iron out any issues at this stage as it’s harder to fix them later on. Once the storyboard is approved we’ll start on the artwork. Depending on your budget we can work to different levels of complexity here. We’ll create pencil sketches for each image, and then send these over to you to double-check. If you’re happy with them then we’ll ink them up. Sometimes we’ll draw multiple parts of an image as different pieces as it makes them easier to assemble in the final illustration. Once the artwork is inked we’ll add any colour accents that you want. Please request them at this stage, or when we’re doing the storyboard, as it’s harder to add them in later. If you require a more complicated animation that involves images moving on the screen rather than being drawn, please contact us directly for more information. Once we’ve created all the image assets, we’ll start assembling them into a composition. We’ll do this based on the timestamps of different lines in the audio file, so please make sure that you’ve got your final version ready by now. We’ll create a draft version with static image transitions. Once you’ve approved this, we’ll start animating the images so that they look like they’re being drawn during the animation. We’ll export the video in different file formats if you require it. Normally we export in MP4 format, which works for Vimeo and Youtube. We can also send you the images used in the animation if you need these for other uses. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/editorial-illustrations ### Title: Editorial Illustrations ### Page ID: 8657609 ### Content: #### What Editorial Illustrations does Vivid Biology offer? #### Who requests Editorial Illustrations? #### Why do they see a benefit in Illustrations? # How we can help with Editorial Illustration ### How we design your distinctive Editorial Illustrations #### The Brief #### Pencil Roughs #### Inking the Sketches #### Adding colour to the final draft #### **Final Artwork** ##### Product ##### Dimensions (cm) ##### Price (£) ## Science Art exhibitions #### Day rate for on-site work #### Exhibition fee #### Materials and production costs #### Copyright or ownership Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. We design artworks for exhibitions or in public spaces as well as illustrations to promote your science Especially Universities, Research Institutes, Public engagement projects, as well as museums benefit from short animations. Illustrations help people start conversations about research and science. Here at Vivid Biology, we blend together storytelling, composition, and a great understanding of science to create visuals that get to the heart of what your story is about. We understand that it’s not enough just to represent the science being mentioned. Artwork also has to help the reader grasp the tone, angle, and larger context of the science being discussed. We can create large artworks to go on book covers, small spot illustrations to break up text, and series of images that help guide readers through the steps required to understand the story. We aim to help you stimulate interest and excitement in your science among the public giving it a broader perspective.   Engaging with readers and leaving a lasting impression can be difficult. In biomedical science you might be bombarded with hundreds of new research articles every day. You may have spent months or years on your piece of research, but just getting someone to click to your article is half the battle. Editorial illustration accompanies science feature and news articles in both mainstream media and more specialist publications. It aims to draw in the reader, concisely summarising the main themes of the article. Not only does it make the article more visually appealing, it also makes it more likely to be selected and shared online via social media. For illustrations to accompany a feature piece, we are usually sent through an early draft or brief synopsis of the themes to be covered. We’ll then work on some concept sketches for artwork ideas that we think grasp the key concepts. At this point it’s useful to know whether it’s a main cover illustration that’s required, or multiple smaller illustrations, so that we can adjust the complexity of the concept sketches. Some clients prefer to leave this decision until they see the ideas we present though. Once the sketches have been agreed upon, we'll work these up into pencil sketches. We'll then forward these on to you to check if there are any edits that need to be made. Edits are much easier to make at the pencil stage than later on so it's best to mention any now. Once the pencil drafts are approved we’ll start inking up the illustration. We’ll then scan it into Photoshop and do a quick clean-up. At this stage we’ll check with you whether you want the illustration to be an infinitely scalable vector or to remain as a fixed size image. Vectors require the line art to be traced in illustrator, which can result in lines that look overly smoothed. We’ll then do a first round of colouring, and check in with a first draft. At this stage it’s easy to move some of the elements around, and to change the colours, although wholesale redrawing is much harder. Once the colour choices and any further changes are approved, we’ll send over a final version to the specifications that you require. We'll provide the artwork to you in any desired format. These are our best estimates based on previous jobs. External contractor fees tend to vary. SciArt projects are generally funded by grant funding. If you’d like us to work on a bid with you then please get in touch. Below are the kind of things you should budget for when writing up grants. The Artists Union England provides guidance about this should you want to find out more. You'll usually need to pay a day rate for required activities that don't involve creating artwork, such as talks, evaluations or workshops. If you'd like to exhibit artwork that's already been created it's normal to pay the artist an appearance fee. This is particularly the case if it's new work and you haven't contributed to materials and production costs. Budget for materials and production costs. This would cover materials, studio rental, administrative and living costs, particularly if onsite work is required. These fees cover production of the artwork, exhibition of the pieces, and coverage of the event. They do not usually mean that you own the final artworks. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/creative-artwork ### Title: Creative Artwork ### Page ID: 8657610 ### Content: #### What? ### What our illustrations can do for you #### Engaging with Readers #### Stand out from the Crowd ## Science, Art, Storytelling ### How we help you to combine science, art, and storytelling #### The Brief #### Pencil Roughs #### Inking the sketches #### Adding Colour #### Final Artwork # Illustration for readers #### What does Vivid Biology offer? #### Who are our clients for creative artwork? #### Why is a creative artwork important? ## How it works #### The Brief #### The Ideas stage #### Production of larger pieces #### Smaller artworks ##### Product ##### Dimensions (cm) ##### Price (£) Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Engaging with readers and leaving a lasting impression can be difficult. In biomedical science you might be bombarded with hundreds of new research articles every day. You may have spent months or years on your piece of research, but just getting someone to click to your article is half the battle. Standing out from the crowd is hard. It’s particularly hard in an information saturated landscape. To get noticed you need a strong idea and creative advert that will capture attention and encourage conversation. Visuals can definitely help with this. If your viewer only sees you for a few seconds, they’ll probably remember the image the most. Here at Vivid Biology, we blend together storytelling, composition, and a great understanding of science to create visuals that get to the heart of what your story is about. We understand that it’s not enough just to represent the science being mentioned.

We design creative artworks for Biotech, Advertising, Publishing, Journalism, Public engagement, and Education. Creative artworks represent ideas, engage viewers, and communicate key messages. We’ll want to know what the advertisement is for, who it’s aimed at, and where it’s going to appear. An advertisement at a biotechnology conference that features a big strand of DNA won’t exactly be a novelty. It’s important for us to get an idea of what landscape the advertisement will exist in, who you want to see it, and what THEY care about. For a big promotional illustration, the details of the product are undoubtedly important, but the crux of the artwork should be about how the product makes the user feel. This might be relief that even the tiniest impurity is detected, joy at how simple a product makes a tricky lab process, or the endless possibilities available now that they can get such accurate readings. For a big promotional illustration, the details of the product are undoubtedly important, but the crux of the artwork should be about how the product makes the user feel. This might be relief that even the tiniest impurity is detected, joy at how simple a product makes a tricky lab process, or the endless possibilities available now that they can get such accurate readings. For big promotional illustrations, the drafts and concepts stage is often quite lengthy, and can take several weeks depending on how long it takes us to find a solution you’re happy with. Once we’ve found one we’ll get to work on creating the large scale final artwork. We also work on much smaller projects, like individual event posters. These use illustration to summarise the key themes of the event with an image that stands out in the mind of the viewer (and also when stuck to notice boards). Advertising artwork is charged in a similar way to illustration artwork. The price of the artwork is made up of the illustration fee and the licence fee. This means that a simple illustration that forms a worldwide campaign could end up being more expensive than a complex illustration for use at a single trade fair. In general the licensing fee needs to be negotiated for each new project, particularly since exclusive rights might be needed, however for smaller pieces of promotion we can bundle it together. We can provide discounts for ongoing contracts, smaller events, and academia. If most of your poster is text we can price based on illustration size on the print. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/careers ### Title: Careers ### Page ID: 8657611 ### Content: ## Vivid Biology is not currently offering internships #### We're on hiatus until 2028 #### We've put together some resources in the meantime ### Courses ### Articles Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Their backgrounds varied between Neuroscience, Physics and Synthetic Biology. We co-create placements with students to find something that is interesting to them and useful to us. Previous students have curated SciArt exhibitions, created award-winning animations, and build graphics toolkits to help researchers make better figures. We can offer one- or two- week work experience at the office during the summer holidays, or another vacation time. This is an unpaid voluntary position designed to help you get a feel for how science illustration works, borrow from our library, try out some software, and make some cool art for your portfolio. We offer 4-8 week placements for undergraduate and recent-graduate science students over the summer vacations. These are offered on a case-by-case basis. Except in exceptional circumstances, we are only able to offer these internships with the help of university SME internship grants, such as the Santander SME internship scheme. We are happy to help you find and apply for these grants. Students are trained in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and WordPress. Internships have involved launching Kickstarter campaigns, creating infographics, writing captions for images and creating education resources. We have hosted four undergraduate summer interns since 2016. Internships have ranged from 2 to 8 weeks in duration and students were all studying biological sciences. Design training for science students was made possible thanks to internship grants from the University of the West of England and the University of Bristol. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/advertising-artworks ### Title: Advertising Artworks ### Page ID: 8657612 ### Content: #### What? ### How we design your bespoke Advertising Artwork #### The Brief #### The Ideas Stage #### Production of Larger Pieces ## How we can help with advertising artwork ## How it works #### The Brief #### The Ideas stage #### Production of larger pieces #### Smaller artworks ##### Product ##### Dimensions (cm) ##### Price (£) Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

We’ll want to know what the advertisement is for, who it’s aimed at, and where it’s going to appear. An advertisement at a biotechnology conference that features a big strand of DNA won’t exactly be a novelty. It’s important for us to get an idea of what landscape the advertisement will exist in, who you want to see it, and what THEY care about. For a big promotional illustration, the details of the product are undoubtedly important, but the crux of the artwork should be about how the product makes the user feel.

For big promotional illustrations, the drafts and concepts stage is often quite lengthy, and can take several weeks depending on how long it takes us to find a solution you’re happy with. Once we’ve found one we’ll get to work on creating the large scale final artwork. We produce bespoke advertising illustrations that will become the focus of your advertising campaign, making your product or service more appealing to your clients and reinforcing your brand identity. Advertising illustration can be used to show the personality of your business, make PowerPoint presentations or annual reports more visually attractive and can also give a visual aid which is easier to understand. They are also more visually appealing than traditional scientific diagrams. We have extensive scientific and artistic experience which allows us to produce artwork that will compliment your established branding, as well as create new identities for new products. Often the artwork we create is used as the basis for advertising campaigns and resized or reworked to fit all kinds of advertising sizes. We are happy to design artwork that stands out on its own on any scale. However, we also work on much smaller projects, like individual event posters. These use illustration to summarise the key themes of the event with an image that stands out in the mind of the viewer (and also when stuck to notice boards).

Advertising artwork is charged in a similar way to illustration artwork. The price of the artwork is made up of the illustration fee and the licence fee. This means that a simple illustration that forms a worldwide campaign could end up being more expensive than a complex illustration for use at a single trade fair. In general the licensing fee needs to be negotiated for each new project, particularly since exclusive rights might be needed, however for smaller pieces of promotion we can bundle it together. We can provide discounts for ongoing contracts, smaller events, and academia. If most of your poster is text we can price based on illustration size on the print. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/technical-illustrations ### Title: Technical Illustrations ### Page ID: 8657613 ### Content: #### What technical illustrations can we provide? #### Who requests technical illustrations? #### What is the benefit of our technical illustrations? ### Sketching some ideas ##### *We create distinctive artwork that makes your science exciting* ### How we design your Technical Illustrations #### A Starting Sketch #### A First Draft... and then Another #### Checking the Brief #### Finalising your Figure Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. We offer to create schematic figures or data visualisations tailored precisely to your project. We are hired by Researchers in Academia, Publishing, as well as Policy makers and Journalists. To help explain complicated processes or shed light on patterns in complex data sets. Biomedical science can be highly technical and specialised. Often the best way to cut through the jargon quickly is to use a technical figure. Conversely, a poorly designed figure can leave your peers scratching their heads at unresolved ambiguities. It is also important to try and present the science in a way that can be understood by non-specialists in your field as well as your peers. Technical figures allow the science to be presented in a clear and effective manner to the audience, including any potential collaborators and investors. *We help scientists translate their findings into clear figures that summarise the findings and remove ambiguity* Here at Vivid Biology, we understand the science underpinning technical figures. We’re also adept at creating great designs that intuitively guide readers through a process. We can transform as simple pencil sketch into a publication-ready figure that’s easy to edit if further details come to light. We can redraw data plots and figures to journal guidelines, either from original data or tracing vector files from images. We can also take previously published figures that you’ve got permission to reproduce, and redraw them as publication-ready vector files.ork with Biotech, Communications, Publishing, Universities and Researchers to create engaging science visuals and sophisticated technical diagrams. If you need a graphical abstract or table of contents figure to go with a manuscript, we can take a pencil sketch or powerpoint mock-up and create a crisp, uniformly styled schematic that will help you stand out. We’ve created plenty of journal-spec figures before. This is our usual workflow. We’ve also created technical figures for early stage biotech companies. If you need us to sign a confidentiality agreement or NDA then let us know. We’ve also contracted for major medical communications agencies to redraw technical figures under tight turnarounds. First, we will ask you to send a rough mock up or sketch for us to work from. It can be a pencil sketch, a PowerPoint slide or whichever format you feel comfortable with, we are able to work with many different methods. Once we create a first draft, we will send it to you for review. We expect there might be some minor errors. Usually clients will add comments to PDFs in Acrobat, others prefer the traditional approach of red pen on print-outs. Our team will then research the journal requirements for the size and format of the figure to ensure it meets the specifications. We’ll continue this process of revision until you are completely happy with the final result including colour schemes. We'll provide the artwork to you in any desired format. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/public-artwork ### Title: Public Artwork ### Page ID: 8657614 ### Content: #### What Public Artworks and SciArt does Vivid Biology design? #### Who hires us for Public Artworks and SciArt? #### Why do they see a benefit in animation? #### Day rate for on-site work #### Exhibition Fees #### Materials and Production Costs #### Copyright and Ownership ##### Dimensions (cm x cm) ##### Price (£) ##### Dimensions (cm x cm) ##### Price (£) ##### Price (£) Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. We offer to create artworks to promote your events, organisation, and products in any size or shape in the form of posters, giclee or vinyl prints. Universities, Research Institutes, Public engagement, Museums hire Vivid Biology to design public artworks and SciArt Public Artworks and SciArt catch the attention of your audience and communicate key message with an outstanding display. Public Artwork can be used in and on buildings to create a better environment, to personalise an office space to your brand, or to help establish your values to building users. Artwork can be used as part of exhibitions to engage with new audiences. Sharing technical or specialised research with non-specialists during public engagement can be challenging. To new audiences, scientific concepts can often be difficult to understand through written text or oral presentation alone. We’ve worked with the Bristol BioDesign Institute on several projects including a large, building-height piece public art collaboration producing art for display around the University to represent its various research institutes SciArt (Scientific Art) is a creative collaboration between the art and science, taking the technical information of a piece of scientific research and translating that through the personal creative vision of our artists to result in an artwork that aids both communication and engagement. We aim to help you stimulate interest and excitement in your science among the public giving it a broader perspective. Here at Vivid Biology, we are interested in collaborating with scientists to produce SciArt for exhibitions. The science for this art comes from you, in form of a research paper or a summary of the science which we read through to identify and understand the key messages. SciArt projects are generally funded by grant funding. If you’d like us to work on a bid with you then please get in touch. Below are the kind of things you should budget for when writing up grants. The Artists Union England provides guidance about this should you want to find out more. You’ll usually need to pay a day rate for required activities that don’t involve creating artwork, such as talks, evaluations or workshops. If you’d like to exhibit artwork that’s already been created it’s normal to pay the artist an appearance fee. This is particularly the case if it’s new work and you haven’t contributed to materials and production costs. Budget for materials and production costs. This would cover materials, studio rental, administrative and living costs, particularly if onsite work is required. These fees cover production of the artwork, exhibition of the pieces, and coverage of the event. They do not usually mean that you own the final artworks. We also work on much smaller projects, like individual event posters. These use illustration to summarise the key themes of the event with an image that stands out in the mind of the viewer (and also when stuck to notice boards). There are many ways to achieve great results. Depending on your budget, we can work with prints, posters, or full wall vinyls. Please look at the tables below to find our best estimates based on previous jobs.

Careers in science illustration: Everything you ever wanted to know Here at Vivid Biology, we love finding ways to turn quite complicated science into great visuals. Recently we created a data visualisation that illustrates the periodic table of elements in terms of electronic configurations. We created it as a teaching aid for chemistry teachers, who typically cover the topic at A-level. We’ve created two versions, one with text and one without. We’re doing art prints of the infographic version, and large school-sized posters for the version with text. We’ve written a write-up below explaining a bit about the periodic table, and some of our design reasoning. The infographic was designed by Claudia Stocker at Vivid Biology. Krit Sitathani assisted with corrections and general feedback.

Lots. ## Analyse what's come before ## Let the ideas ferment ## Get out the paper and pencil ## Add drama ## Plan your use of colour selectively ## Remember to leave negative space ## Find someone who can add polish to your sketches Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. It’s not about the five different genes you analysed or the particular settings that you used for PCR. You need to distill your paper down into a single concept or idea that’s going to be your cover art. You may be able to get away with two if you’re lucky. You may have to settle for more if you’re doing a review. But it’s always best to try for one. This is harder than it seems. You’ve spent months chiselling away at that manuscript, polishing and perfecting it. Now you have to blur your vision a bit and try and see the overall silhouette of the paper without being distracted by the detail. The famous advertising company M&C Saatchi live by the philosophy of ‘brutal simplicity of thought’. Simple is better. Start your ideas from one starting point rather than trying to find those that tick three or four boxes at once. First things first, how much space the cover art actually take up? Some papers do a full page illustration, others do a small image that fits in with the rest of their branding. Check the dimensions and make sure you’re designing for them. You’re going to be really annoyed if you create a piece of artwork in portrait and 50% has to be cropped out a the journal wanted landscape. Secondly, take a look at what kind of cover art has made it to the front page previously. The decision as to what goes on the cover is probably a decision shared by the editor and the art director. The editor is fighting for scientific impact, the art director is fighting for what will actually look good. If the journal you’re publishing in has a habit of putting cartoon or caricature work on the front, you should bear that in mind. I’m not saying that you have to let past examples dictate what your cover art will look like. If the editor/art director combo does have a penchant for humorous drawings though, try a few. It’s definitely worth taking a few minutes to come up with some ideas that fit the mould, even if you don’t follow them through. Even better, drop the art director a message and ask what kind of artwork tends to get selected. Even if they tell you that it’s 100% on the science and little to do with the aesthetics, you’ve got the art director on your side if it comes down to a difficult decision. Plus you might be able to get some useful advice off them. You need to have lots of ideas. Even if you think that the first idea you have is the best one, keep going. Why’s that? Because chances are that if that was your first idea, it was a pretty obvious one. If it’s an obvious one, other people have probably come up with it before you. It may even be a visual cliche in the field now. Think DNA made out of lego bricks to show ‘the building blocks of life’ or brains made out of water to represent ‘fluidity in brain structure’. Keep the cliches to hand as they can be fun to subvert later on, but focus on coming up with new ideas first. You may have what you think is the best idea in the world, but if someone else has already done it, you may be better off trying something else. You’re not just creating a piece of journal cover artwork, you’re visually communicating the contents of your paper, and creating a visual identity that people will remember it by. If your prized idea is already on a stock website, that image will already be associated with hundreds of other articles, brands, medical websites, and possibly journals. Your content is original, so be original. If someone got there first, scrap that idea unless you can think of a way to make it look significantly different. This is why we came up with lots of ideas in tip number 2. You’ve got some ideas. Great. Now sit with them in your head for a day without doing any more work on them. You can’t rush creativity and now that you’ve clearly defined the problem and some potential solutions, your brain can subconsciously mull them over. If you’re the kind of person who has their best ideas in the shower or out running, you’ll know what I’m talking about. I’m not saying that you can’t use the ideas as they are, but it’s worth leaving them for a day just to see if anything else pops up. Plus by delaying moving onto the next step you’ll be super excited when you finally get to start drawing. This is useful as it’s unlikely all your ideas will work when committed to paper. It’s important not to lose motivation if something doesn’t work out, so pace yourself. Time to get those ideas down on paper. This step is to sort out the cover art ideas that work, and the ones that sounded great, but make terrible images. Composition is king, and if you don’t sort it out now it’s going to get very expensive in the future. If you decide half way through the project that, actually, it doesn’t make sense to have that DNA strand next to that protein, you’re going to have to start again. Whether that means a freelancer has to start a 3D mesh from scratch or your PhD student has to clear the next three days of her calendar, it’s going to cost you. Do at least six preliminary sketches to check that everything visually fits together, or get someone else to do them for you if you lack talent in the pencil department. One of the first things you’re taught when you learn photography is to try and take pictures that people wouldn’t normally see. You’ve found something interesting to photograph, now try and take a photograph from an unusual angle. Lie on the floor. Get really close up. Take a photo from up high. You can immensely improve how interesting an illustration is to look at by adding devices such as unusual perspectives, foreshortening, or even just odd angles. Try three point perspective to make things look much bigger than they are. Make some elements of the composition really close to the viewer and some really far away. Rotate your image slightly so that the main lines of the drawing deviate from the horizontal and vertical axes. There are probably elements of your illustration that you want to stand out, particular residues that need to be highlighted because they’re important to the mechanism. To make them stand out you have to let other things fade into the background. Work out a hierarchy of what the most important pieces of information you want to show are. For an enzyme, perhaps cysteine residues, then all active site residues, then overall molecule shape. Number one should probably be a really bright colour that pops out, number two should be a similar hue but a little duller, and number three should only just be distinguishable from the background. You haven’t left any key information our here, you’ve just selected the most important information and organised it visually. If your cover art doesn’t have enough negative space, it could get butchered. Imagine you’re in the Art director’s shoes. You open up a piece of artwork and immediately groan. It’s beautiful sure, but where on earth are you going to fit the Journal title in this composition? It’s detailed all over, and there are at least six different bright colours in it. Each one of those is another colour that you can’t render the title in as it’ll be illegible. And what about those five different article titles that you’ve also got to get on there. The editor keeps pushing you to add another two, but even five is going to be a struggle. I suppose there’s a tiny crevice around the molecule in the bottom right? You sigh, open up photoshop, and proceed to dull all the colours in the beautiful artwork, dropping the luminosity into the dark greys. But hey, at least everyone will be able to work out which journal they’re reading from the cover now that your title is white on grey. Look at a few past journal covers and get a feel for how much text the art director needs to put around your image. Ideally when you’re creating the image, you want to limit the number of colours you use (see point 8) and keep all the detail in the middle. Ideally you should create your image with plenty of negative space around it and let the art director elegantly crop it depending on what suits. The easiest way to do this is just to extend the background. If that’s not possible, consider blurring out the outermost edges of the illustration to make it easier to read text on top of them. For instance by using depth of field, which makes things far away very blurry, or using a tilt shift filter, which makes the top and bottom of an image blurry. Your art editor will thank you for it. Chances are you have better things to do than create some cover art for your paper. If it’s something you really enjoy and you have some artistic skill then by all means go ahead. If it sounds like a lot of work though it’s worth getting someone else in. You’ve already got a clear idea of what you need drawn and what it should look like, you just need a designer or talented staff member who can realise it. Ask to see some portfolios and examples of previous artwork to help you decide who’s the best fit for what you have in mind. Ideally find someone with a bit of a scientific background. They’re more likely to understand which details are OK to have some flexibility with and which ones will just make the science wrong. If you get a talented colleague to do it, make sure there’s something in it for them. They’re more likely to take it as seriously as you do if there’s a fee or return favour involved. Whilst things might seem rosy at the start if someone offers to do it for free, they’ll quickly sour when you start requesting edits. If you go down the freelancer route, make sure you’ve negotiated the rights and fees properly. If you later decide that you want to use the illustration for other purposes than just a journal cover, you may get charged extra. That said freelancers will probably jump at the opportunity of having a client who knows exactly what they want, as opposed to one who says ‘I’ll know it when I see it’. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/the-periodic-table-of-electron-configurations ### Title: The periodic table of electron configurations ### Page ID: 8657645 ### Content: ### Introduction ### Credits # Contents # About the Periodic table # Electronic configurations ### 2,8,6 ### 2,8,8,1 ### 1s2 2s1 ### 1s2 2s2 2p5 ### 1s2 2s2 2p2 ### 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4 ### 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 ### \[He\] 2s1 ### \[He\] 2s2 2p5 ### \[He\] 2s2 2p2 ### \[Ne\] 3s2 3p4 ### \[Ar\] 4s1 # This data visualisation ## Some design principles ### REDUNDANCY ### CONSISTENCY ### SALIENCE ### SUBITIZING ### DESIGN TEXTLESS ### BUT ADD TEXT LATER # Electrons ## Electron subshells. ## Electron subshells. ## Individual electrons ## Pairing electrons # Layout ## The actual layout ## A case for extending the table? ### Greying out ## Overlapping ## Miniatures ## Linker lines ## Expanded brackets ## Square brackets ## Round brackets ## Ribbons ## Ribbons are really hard to get right ## Shifting the F block # Text choices ## What text to include? ## Full configuration ## Simplified configuration ## Reading the columns ## Keeping the square brackets ## The actual layout ## A case for extending the table? ### Greying out ## Overlapping ## Miniatures ## Linker lines ## Expanded brackets ## Square brackets ## Round brackets ## Ribbons ## Ribbons are really hard to get right ## Shifting the F block ## Clarifying unclear suborbital naming ## Wrong number? ## Number as position ## Labelled reference ## Stacked configurations ## Square bracket end-stop ## Full configurations ## Summarised inner orbital Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

We’ve written a write-up below explaining a bit about the periodic table, and some of our design reasoning. The infographic was designed by Claudia Stocker at Vivid Biology. Krit Sitathani assisted with corrections and general feedback. The first version of the modern periodic table was created in 1869 by Dimitri Mendeleev. Previous periodic tables had attempted to order the elements by atomic mass. Whilst arranging the elements in order of increasing atomic mass, in the same way many scientists before him had, Mendeleev spotted that patterns of certain chemical properties kept repeating themselves. Previous scientists had organised the elements into groups with similar chemical properties. Mendeleev arranged the elements into rows and columns according to similar properties, occasionally swapping elements out of their atomic mass sequence to fit the properties better. Crucially, Mendeleev left gaps in the periodic table where he could not identify an element with the appropriate mass and properties for the spot. Over the years after publication, several of the elements were discovered, many of them matching Mendeleev’s predictions. Without realising it, Mendeleev had arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic number. This was confirmed by experiments by Henry Moseley several years after his death. This means that as you move across and down the periodic table, each element increases its number of protons and electrons by one. Elements in Mendeleev's periodic table are arranged in order of increasing protons and increasing electrons. Electrons are what we're interested in for this infographic. Electrons are the key to understanding most chemistry. They are the parts of atoms that are shared, swapped, and lost during reactions. By understanding how the electrons are arranged in an atom, you can understand how it might behave in a reaction. In fact, the position of an element in the periodic table tells you a lot about its electrons. The patterns of chemical properties that Mendeleev observed were down to similar elements having the same number of electrons in their outermost shell. These form the groups or columns of the periodic table. The rows of the periodic table tell you how many shells, or layers of electrons, there are between the outermost electrons (that take part in reactions) and the nucleus (which tries to hold on to them). In a reaction, atoms are nearly always trying to achieve a full outer shell, either by losing electrons, gaining electrons, or sharing electrons. A full outer shell either means the shell is completed (filled up) or completely emptied, leaving the full shell underneath. An electronic configuration is a code that shows you how the electrons are arranged in an atom. At the most basic level, this will show you how many electrons there are in each major shell. You may recognise some of these from GCSE. The general rule is that you fill your current shell before you move on to the next one. The first shell holds two electrons, the second eight, the third eight, and no-one mentions the later ones until you start doing A-level. That’s when electron configurations get a little more detailed, and more exotic. This new longer configuration acknowledges that shells are not just empty rings on atoms that hold a certain number of electrons. Shells are made up of constituent orbitals, which can hold two electrons each, and these orbitals aren’t all the same. Different orbitals have different shapes. S orbitals are shaped like spheres and P orbitals are shaped like dumbells. It’s important to know what type of orbitals you have available to put electrons in and where your electrons are, as these can affect the properties of elements. These electronic configurations can get a bit unwieldy and repetitive, so chemists usually shorten them. Since it’s only really the electrons in the outer shells that are of interest, the contents of all the filled shells are abbreviated to the element they correspond to. This will always be a Noble gas, or group 0 element. Here are the shortened versions of our elements. We wanted to create a periodic table where it was easy to identify the number of electrons present in the outer shell of electrons, the orbital types that made up each of the shells, and the number of filled shells shielding the outer electrons from the nucleus. We thought that if these patterns were obvious then it would be easier for students to spot them. We’re not the first to create a periodic table based on electrons. The designer Alison Haigh created a minimalist electron periodic table in 2013. This periodic table represented elements as electron dots. We wanted to create something that was halfway between this design and a more traditional periodic table, that it was easier to work out electronic configurations from. There are a few design principles that we followed when designing this periodic table. If something is repeated in exactly the same way several times, find a way to simplify it. If you’re trying to say the same thing, do it in the same way. Less noise means better information quality. Draw attention to the important things by removing or pushing back the things that are less important. People are bad at counting objects quickly when they’re grouped together in numbers greater than four. This is why you cross through lines of four in a tally. Text will not solve your layout problems. We tried to solve design problems using layout and colour rather than text. We find this usually results in better solutions, as you can’t read text from a distance anyway. Electrons are organised into major shells. These shells are energy levels that sit at different distances from the nucleus. Atoms will tend to do reactions that result in them achieving full major shells, as these are the most stable. We wanted to distinguish between shells that were full and the outer shell in the process of being filled. To make this obvious shells were joined up into a continuous as soon as they were filled. Major electron shells are situated at specific distances away from an atom. As you get further from the nucleus these get closer together and start to converge. Beyond this point the atom can’t hold on to the electron as it’s too far away from the nucleus. Whilst not essential to reading electron configurations, we thought it would be a nice touch to represent this by having the filled shells getting thinner and thinner as they became further away. Electrons in major shells can sit in different types of orbital. Each orbital holds two electrons. It’s important to know what type of orbital electrons are sitting in as they have different shapes. S orbitals are shaped like spheres, P orbitals are like dumbbells, and D orbitals look like four-leaf clovers. Which orbitals you’re using influences the shapes and properties of molecules. We decided to use different colours to represent different orbitals. That way students could see when different orbital types popped up and how they related to the structure of the periodic table, but they didn’t get distracted by the different shape types (which probably needs another table of its own). Whilst we were designing, we used the following colours We decided to use different colours to represent different orbitals. That way students could see when different orbital types popped up and how they related to the structure of the periodic table, but they didn’t get distracted by the different shape types (which probably needs another table of its own). Each orbital fits two electrons. The fact that these electrons pair up is very important. Lone pairs of electrons are responsible for the shapes of molecules such as water an ammonia. This also influences their physical properties like boiling and melting points. Unpaired electrons are rare and atoms with unpaired electrons are called free radicals. They tend to be very reactive. The hole in the ozone layer was caused by free radicals formed from the breakdown of CFCs. We paired up our electrons in the design so that they overlap to create a different style of shape. This not only makes it obvious that the electrons are paired, but also makes it easier to count how many of them there are. It’s still a bit of a challenge to count the f orbital electrons as seven pairs is still a number greater than four. Most periodic tables have two rows at the bottom that seem to float detached from the main design. This is the F block. It’s full of very heavy elements that are mostly radioactive. You’ll probably have noticed it, but never done any chemistry with any of the elements on it, and so mostly ignore it. Several people I spoke to about the periodic table were not aware that the F-block slots into the rest of the periodic table. Because books and posters tend to have a 2:3 page size ratio, it’s easier to fit the table in if you slot the block under. The floating F block is a design fix that stops the periodic table being too wide and narrow. Whilst it’s a neat solution, the fact that this rearrangement has been made is something that’s really hard to make obvious. You need to show where the 28 elements go in relation to the other elements, without taking up too much space or suggesting that they exist in another dimension. We decided that since we were already providing an unfamiliar format of representing each element in the periodic table, it was important to keep the layout of the table as familiar as possible so that students had an easier time spotting patterns, comparing and contrasting. We decided to stick with the floating F-block. We had to work out how to make it obvious where it slotted in though. To show that something was meant to go in a specific location on the periodic table we tried greying out the image and removing the outermost electrons (since the inner shells were all the same). This worked quite well but didn’t tell you how many elements fitted in there, or tell you where to look for them. To solve the quantity indicator, we tried overlapping 14 instances of the inner electron shells (adding the outer electrons just looked too complicated). This gave us a good idea of quantity, although didn’t really tell you where to look for the missing elements without you having to repeat the same image lower down (which now made it look like there were actually 14+14 missing ones). Another option that we looked at was making the elements much smaller. This allowed you to count them easily, but made it much harder to see the inner electrons, so there was no real difference between the Lanthanides and Actinides. This solution didn’t give the impression that there were twice as many elements. Another option that we tried was to link the overlapping inner shells to the F block. This meant we didn’t have to duplicate the overlapping 14, but it looked pretty ugly. Another solution that we tried was expanding sections. This idea was inspired by bookends, which sometimes are done in shapes of animals so that it looks like the animal runs the whole way through the books. Unfortunately the lines for the bookend interfered with the electrons within the F block. It looked a bit crowded and the attention was taken away from the bits we wanted people to look at. We tried paring back the brackets, opting for really simple square brackets. These complemented the design much better, but the right-angles looked a bit jarring next to all the overlapping circles. We switched the square brackets for curved lines that matched the curvature of the inner shell circles. I sat on the brackets idea for a while, but it still didn’t fit right. The minimalist version was meant to be text-free, and here I was relying on a piece of typography. Inspired by the alternative periodic table layouts (see bonus section below) I decided to try and make the background behave like a 3D object, to show where the f block was meant to go. This had to be subtle as otherwise we’d end up with the same problem as the labelled lines solutions. Ones that don’t fold back on themselves generally look very wrong. In the end the best solution was to shift the block along a bit to allow the ribbon to fold over at both ends. Since the F block columns don’t share properties with the D block columns, this isn’t a big problem. We decided to make two versions of the poster, one designed to include text and one designed not to. The text on the image had to be relevant and minimal. We decided that the name and symbol of the elements was important. To fit the symbols onto the design we made a slight tweak to the layout of the orbitals so that it could be fitted in. When lining up the full list of abbreviated electron configurations on the table, you start to notice an awful lot of repeated \[Ar\] and \[Xe\] letters. We really wanted to remove these to show only the electrons in the outermost shell, however as pointed out, this wouldn’t be a full electronic configuration. We came up with some solutions that indicated the start of the configuration based on the row, however unless you know you’re meant to read the table that way, it’s not immediately obvious, and it results in a more complicated diagram. The fact that the major shells are the same for the row is also pretty obvious from the electron diagrams. We also figured that most students would be looking up the full electron configuration and wouldn’t have time to read the row/columns, so we bit the bullet and included the square brackets section, although we pushed them back using grey.

Since the F block columns don’t share properties with the D block columns, this isn’t a big problem. Whilst the order that the orbitals are filled in seems fairly intuitive, the choice of names for each of the orbitals is not. This causes problems when you have to write them out. The first ‘d’ orbitals (3d) are actually part of shell 4. We toyed with the idea of using this representation to show the names of the orbitals that were filled, hoping that students would work out which order they were filled in by looking across the table. In the end the layouts were too confusing though (the Noble gases didn’t have full outer shells for one). We opted for correct position with confusing naming acknowledged, rather than incorrect position. To help students see the full electronic configuration (with the correct names included) we decided on two solutions, a larger figure in the corner, or full configurations down the side of the chart. This was our first version of the figure. Whilst the colour and positioning matches the other figures in the table, it’s quite hard to read. This one is easier to read and also helps students match the square brackets shorthand to the actual configuration. Whilst I’m not usually a fan of right-justified text, it makes more sense to use it in this case. Students read the electronic configuration until they get to the square bracket sign that they’re looking for. This one puts the full electron configuration on the left hand side of the table. Whilst it lines up the types of suborbital nicely, it’s a bit difficult to read, and there’s a lot of repetition between rows. This is a much simpler solution. The inner orbital contents are summarised according to what changes per row. You read down the left hand side column, and then across. It doesn’t quite work for the floating F-block though. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - S orbitals are yellow - P orbitals are red - D orbitals are blue - F orbitals are green - S orbitals are yellow - P orbitals are red - D orbitals are blue - F orbitals are green - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/careers-in-science-illustration-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know ### Title: Careers in science illustration: Everything you ever wanted to know ### Page ID: 8657646 ### Content: # Careers in science illustration: Everything you ever wanted to know ## About the animation #### We created this animation to answer the most common questions that students have for us at careers fairs. Claudia has been attending the University of Cambridge’s careers fair since 2015 to answer students’ questions about freelancing, creative careers, and science illustration specifically. Due to COVID-19, we’re not able to attend the 2021 fair in person, so we made this animation instead. ## 1.What is a Science Illustrator? #### A science illustrator helps scientists communicate. They do this by creating graphics, illustrations and other visuals. They tend to have a background in science, and training in graphic design, illustration, or animation. ## 2.What’s an average day like? #### Like all creatives, illustrators don’t spend all their time working on client projects. On top of drawing, and reading papers, you’ll also need to spend time working on marketing, finances, and pitching new work. Often you’ll work on multiple projects at once, so having a system to keep track of tasks is important. Design work is usually done remotely, so you can work from home if you want to, although quite a few prefer to rent an office. ## 3.Who are your clients? #### As well as making images for scientists, science illustrators can work with biotech startups, medical communications, publishing, education, and public engagement. You might be creating artwork for an advertising campaign one day, and figures for a journal manuscript the next. You can choose which areas to specialise in, if you have a preference. ## 4.Are there any qualifications you need? #### You don’t need a specialist course to be a science illustrator, just a really good portfolio, and a good understanding of science. That said, courses can definitely help. Particularly any that help you with design software, sketching ideas, or business skills. #### If you’re interested in creating 3D medical art, the University of Glasgow runs a masters degree in Medical Visualisation and Human Anatomy. There is also the London-based postgraduate diploma in medical art, run by the medical artists Education trust. #### For a broader understanding of science communication in general, there are masters degrees in science communication. Imperial college London, and the University of the West of England, run taught masters degrees in the subject, amongst other universities. ## 5.Is there any software I should learn? #### If you’re still at University, see if the computer department offers training courses in how to use the Adobe Suite. The main applications to learn are Illustrator and Photoshop. You can usually get student discounts on the software if your college doesn’t already have access. If you’re interested in 3D and animation, Blender is a good place to start – It’s also free. ## 6.Do I need any equipment? #### You’ll need a decent computer for 3D illustration, animation, and large illustration files. You’ll want around 16GB of memory for large illustrations, and a fast processor for rendering animation or 3D. This doesn’t have to be expensive. You can pick up 8 year old Macbook Pros for around £500 \* which will work fine for illustration, you just might have to wait a while when rendering. You also might want to get a tablet for sketching ideas as it saves you from scanning \*\*. The ReMarkable tablet is a good choice if you don’t like the feeling of drawing on glass screens. #### \* Alternatively, refurbished 2013 Mac mini computers can be bought for around £200 and manually upgraded to 16GB for around £60. #### \*\* Wacom or XP-PEN tablets are recommended. ## 7.Should I take drawing classes #### Life drawing classes are really useful to improve your sketching skills. They’re essential if you want to become a Medical artist, although you’ll probably do them as part of a training programme. If you’re creating technical figures and 3D modelling, drawing is definitely helpful for sketching concepts. ## 8.Is there anything else I should read up about? #### It’s also important to learn a bit about the business side of things. Most science illustrators either freelance or run their own companies. Business skills are a must as you’ll need to do your own accounting. Natwest run a free business accelerator that you can apply to if you’re starting out. There are also several books that are worth reading for business accounting basics. ## 9.What can I do to build a portfolio now? #### The point of a portfolio is to show potential clients that you have design skills. If you’re at university, see if there are any societies that need design or illustration work doing. Theatres always need posters, and student papers always need pictures to break up the text of articles. If you want to work in science illustration, it helps to have science illustration projects in your portfolio, but it’s not essential if you have a good grasp of the science. ## 10.What’s it like starting out as a freelancer? #### Starting out as a freelancer can be tough on your finances. Make sure you have savings in place as a buffer \*. Some people prefer to start out by doing it on the side of their main job before committing full time. You can always add in other flexible income streams if you need to. For instance if you have a science degree, you can probably private tutor in sciences and maths. You’ll need to register for self-assessment and pay your taxes direct to HMRC at the end of the year. Make sure to save up for your tax bill, the first one always catches people out. #### \* You can get startup loans from the government if you don’t have easy access to savings ## 11.Any tips? #### First, start your website and portfolio now. This is the main thing you’ll be showing potential clients, so it’s good to get started early. It doesn’t need to be fancy, but good images and your own domain name go a long way. #### Second, join the Association of Illustrators. If you come from a science background, you might not know a lot about the business of illustration. The Association of Illustrators, or AOI, is a very useful source of advice on contracts, pricing, and copyright. #### Finally, don’t be afraid to try out new things. There’s no set path to being a science illustrator, and it’s good to have your own projects to see you through the natural ups and downs of businesses \*. #### \* When I’m not illustrating for researchers I’m designing science posters to sell online, tutoring chemistry, and creating new patterns of neurons to print onto dresses. ## 12.Do you take interns? #### So far Vivid Biology has hosted four PhD interns on PIPs placements. We’ve also had a few undergraduate summer interns who were part-funded by the University of Bristol and the Santander internship scheme. We’re also interested in taking on students for a day a week during term time, particularly if they’re studying science communication. ## How we made this video #### This video was created using the whiteboard animation software Doodly. The illustrations were all drawn by us. The script was written by Claudia Stocker and converted into speech using the text-to-speech software Play.ht. We used the voice Mia, who is neural-network trained, and therefore sounds more like a real person. Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/visual-identity-in-science-illustration ### Title: Visual identity in science illustration ### Page ID: 8657647 ### Content: # Visual identity in science illustration ## What is science illustration? ## The illustration spectrum ## The evidence ## A lack of demand? ## How did we get here? ## Where are we going? ## The appeal of the familiar ## Interpretation of style ## Redefining the brief ## Technical accuracy ## Look different ## Simplify the information ## Examples ## Summary Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. *This post is based on a talk I gave at Imperial College London in 2013 for Artifact, a society run jointly with the Royal College of Art.* I frequently get asked the question 'so you're a science illustrator, what do you do?'. Most people think of science illustration as designing illustrations for science textbooks. This is one of the things we do. We also try to represent research in a visually appealing way, either as info graphics or illustrations of things that aren't visible. Finally there's editorial illustrations where you have a lot of creative flexibility but don't need as much understanding of the technical details of the science. At its heart all illustration is problem solving, trying to find the best visual solution to a set of constraints, called the brief. Some briefs requite absolute attention to technical detail, others allow for much more creative flexibility. Most illustration briefs can be placed somewhere along a sliding scale between technical and creative. At the technical end would be illustrations such as the engineering drawings in car manuals. There is no room for creative flexibility here because the primary purpose of them is to look exactly like the engine being worked on, perhaps in a cut-away form to help people navigate around them. At the other end would be illustrations that required no scientific knowledge, just the appropriation of scientific imagery in a creative visual format. Examples would be ball and stick atom drawings or microscopes which were not there to illustrate the scientific content of an article, just to suggest that it fell into the science category. I have been informed that beauty products often do this in their advertising to appear to have more technical substance. As is common with many fields, the interesting stuff happens somewhere in the middle of this scale. These are the illustrations that require knowledge of scientific topics in order to communicate the content accurately to the reader, yet still need to appear visually interesting. They will often appear in situations where they may be seen both by scientists and non-scientists. Scientifically literate readers will notice any scientific errors in the illustration, and treat associated material with increased scepticism. Equally they much appear visually appealing enough to draw the interest of non-scientists. So if scientific illustration needs to visually appeal to non-scientist audiences, why does it often look so similar in style compared to traditional illustration? A quick google images search gives you a pretty good idea of the different styles prevalent in scientific vs traditional illustration. *The majority of science illustration images are dominated by a highly detailed pencil sketch style.* *There is a much greater variety of styles in a search for illustration.* *A search for another topic similarly constrained such as fashion illustration still produces a greater variety of styles than science illustration.* A similar theme appears when comparing the websites of illustration agencies for science illustration and traditional illustration. A traditional illustration agency will ensure that their illustrators have extremely contrasting styles, and that the home page of the agency displays these styles prominently. Indeed many agencies will refuse to take on illustrators whose style is too similar to an illustrator they already represent. Science illustration agencies often make no effort to place contrasting styles next to each other, and sometimes do not even show images, listing only a directory of names and addresses, as if finding a science illustrators were as interchangeable as plumbers or cleaners. For those who haven't guessed, I work as a freelance science illustrator. Occasionally we publish blog posts (like this one) or do interviews to get more exposure. The main point of this is to get potential new clients to contact us rather than having to chase them down ourselves. I once received an email from a science textbook editor who had seen my illustrations in a blog post that I had written for a website. It went something like the following (italics are my reaction. Yes! I knew there was a point to writing long articles I knew finding a niche and developing a style was a good idea! *Do you have any examples of more traditional science illustration?* I sent over a link to the rest of the illustrations I had on my website, but never heard back. I wrote it off as just having a style that wasn't compatible with what they were looking for. Later on I thought about it a bit more. There were certainly examples of infographics work in my portfolio that showed I had the problem-solving skills for textbook diagrams, and with a science degree under my belt the academic side of things wasn't the issue. Perhaps it was just that my illustration style wasn't what they were looking for. But if it answered the brief, why was that an issue? There may be a good reason that most science illustration looks similar. After all, if illustration is problem solving, there's no reason why the best solution to a single problem shouldn't be the best solution to multiple similar problems. Science illustration was originally to replicate things that needed to be observationally verified. Before the days of photography, you wanted to make sure that the red bird that you saw in the jungle was the same red bird that had been described to you in a lecture back in University. The easiest way to objectively verify this was to make an illustration of said bird that you could check it against. Equally, when a surgeon was learning how to slice up a patient in order not to sever an artery, it was useful to have a visual reference as to where these arteries were to consult before or during surger y. There was a limited amount of time and dead bodies that students could practice on, and none of them had blood pumping through their arteries to give you immediate feedback that you'd just made a grave error. In both of these cases the illustrations were being used to compare against something that was observable without any specialist machinery. It therefore makes sense for them to be as true to life and photographic as possible to avoid any ambiguity. In both fields, this type of illustration is still useful due to the constraints of photographing human remains, and the difficulty in getting animals to pose for the camera. Science however, has since expanded beyond these disciplines. Most cutting-edge research is not in the structure of the various blood vessels of the body (we think we've cracked that one) but in things that cannot easily be seen, such as proteins and gene interactions. Most scientists working with these will be more familiar with their three letter acronyms than the structures of said proteins. Photorealism is now not necessarily the best solution. Another new trend in science illustration has been a shift towards 3D rendering rather than hand-drawn illustration. This reflects the increase in computer processing power that allows complex renders to be made. It also allows the same 3D object files to be reused many times, many of which are easily available online. This means illustrators already know that their images will be anatomically accurate, regardless of the render style, and can instead concentrate on how best to highlight the important information within the structure. 3D has become particularly popular as once the structure of an object is pinned down, it is very easy to manipulate it and create a new render should your client decide on a different direction. 3D structures are also very easy to animate, even if this just involves moving a camera around the structure to get a better view of the 3D detail. 3D renders are also easy for scientists working in cell biology to interpret. They often mimic the structures visible down a scanning electron microscope, which is often the only way that cell structures can be made visible at high resolution and in a way that easily distinguishes them from other cells. When creating an illustration of a subject that the viewer has no prior knowledge of, it is best to stick to photorealism rather than to make stylistic interpretations. You viewer will by default interpret illustrations as whatever they resemble in their real life experience. If you create a photorealistic rendering of a cell, the size of the cell and other physical attributes may be ambiguous due to the lack of real-world things to compare it to in the illustration, but the general structure will be obvious. With a stylised illustration, such as a line drawing or flat diagram, the identity of each of the elements in the illustration is more ambiguous. In a diagram of a eukaryotic cell could look very similar to a town map when shown to a child with no idea what cells are. In this case the analogy has been used to explain the different parts of the cell according to how a child would see the town functioning. This is important when illustration for children or students. For those familiar with the subject matter in question, or at least a vague background in the area, this kind of explicit referencing is not essential. It is quite popular in the illustration world to draw a famous character in the style of several different illustrators. The point of this being that the essential visual cues that define a character are independent of the style used to represent them. This is a good method for illustrators and character designers to improve their skills as it helps them identify which features of a character are essential and should be kept, and which can be discarded. If a character is well known, viewers of the image will be able to recognise what they find familiar and draw parallels. These lego adverts are a great illustration of the idea. This also works in science illustration. Linked are three different representations of eukaryotic cells created in the form of cake, cross-stitch, and crochet. In each of these cases a biologist familiar with the subject matter would probably able to identify the nucleus, the mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. If we were to start from the beginning, and ignore all preconceptions about what science illustration should and shouldn't look like, what would be the key elements that make up a good science illustration. In effect, what are the key constraints in our brief, and what elements can we have a little more artistic license with? I can't answer this in an objective fashion as every brief will demand different things from both the illustrator and the viewer. I'm going to go through the key things that I think are important in science illustration, and therefore how these guide the work I produce. The relative important of different factors in an illustration will produce a slightly different brief, and therefore slightly different optimum styles. For instance I value simplicity over communicating volumes and textures. Someone who preferred the latter would probably represent science in a very different way to me. Neither of us are wrong, we just realise that in order to emphasise certain details of a physical system or structure, other details have to be omitted. I think few would disagree with me that technical accuracy is extremely important in a science illustration. If you are asked to create an illustration to accompany a research paper, read the paper, and the accompanying material, then talk to the researcher about the material to make sure you understand it. Don't rush into creating an illustration based on what the author thinks would be the best way to represent the science. You will invariably make some kind of technical error in the way that you have depicted the science behind the illustration. If your illustration is published alongside the article in a journal, the readers may be confused as to why the illustration does not fit with the associated paper's description of a mechanism. You do not need to replicate every last technical detail, but you need to have a good reason for drawing something that is just plain wrong. Examples include drawing the DNA helix spiralling the wrong way, which has a habit of annoying science illustrators in a similar way that misplaced apostrophes annoy writers. Yes we were able to understand the message, but the way it was presented implied that the person delivering it was a bit lazy. The structure of DNA is integral to the function of many DNA binding proteins, since they are specifically shaped to fit into the grooves. If you are going to draw DNA and can't be bothered to check which way around it spirals, at least draw it in a way that makes the direction of the spiral ambiguous so that your illustration doesn't deliberately misinform thousands of students when it appears in a textbook. In the above illustration I decided to make a structurally accurate drawing of the Influenza A virus. This is often depicted as something resembling a laundry ball in many pieces of science illustration. Most undergraduate medical students would immediately label this as incorrect since the projecting proteins on a flu virus are not uniform. The virus is coated in a mixture of four subunit neuraminidase and three subunit haemagglutinin proteins. This is important as different strains of flu virus are often classified based on which version of the haemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins they display. For instance swine flu is H1N1 and the most notable form of avian flu was H5N1. These classifications are often mentioned in non-specialist media such as news reports and therefore the difference should be illustrated. This is before we consider the fact that these proteins are essential to the mechanism by which these viruses enter cells. I'm now going to back track slightly on what I said earlier about accuracy. Whilst you should never deliberately represent something in the wrong way, drawing something exactly as it appears makes for a boring illustration. Many processes in biology are dynamic. A single snapshot in time will not fully represent the process, and unfortunately we do not have the luxury of moving images to show the entire thing. Often you will require a little bit of artistic license to display all the key players in a process, since they are probably never in the same cell compartment at the same time. Equally if all your drawings are to exact scale, such as a drawing of the solar system, you will do a very good job of showing just how much empty space there is between planets, but won't be able to say much about the planets because they're just so tiny. This is also one of your key advantages over photography or motion graphics. You are able to put things together that a photographer would never be able to capture. If the illustration you have created could compositionally be recreated fairly easily using a microscope or a camera, you are wasting your time. Obviously you want your illustration to have some resemblance to the structure you are studying, but you probably need to use less than you think. This point ties in to what I said earlier about accuracy. It's OK to take artistic license with the science **if and only if** you have a good reason for doing so. Be smart, don't be lazy. Above is an illustration I created for a seminar about centriole assembly. Centrioles have a distinctive 9-fold rotational symmetry. I was considering simply illustrating a cross-sectional view of this, but thought that this was inappropriate for a dynamic mechanism such as assembly. In order to make the illustration recognisable as a centriole, I left in just enough of the 9-fold symmetry skeleton as I could, whilst using each of the repeating segments to represent a separate step in the assembly. The mechanisms was fairly well detailed in the accompanying paper, although how the second and third microtubules attached was still an unknown. When I'm not drawing science I also work as a graphic designer, and one of the key principles to effective communication design is to not include anything that may distract the viewer from the things they're meant to be focusing on. Back when I was a finalist at university and had no idea what to do with my life, I applied to one of the world-leading branding agencies to be an intern. The head of HR organised an interview for me with the Creative Director for Europe. I brought along my portfolio and went through it for half an hour whilst he listened without saying a word. Once I'd finished, he flicked back to a piece of graphic design that I'd produced for a student society and pointed out that I'd placed a colour change in the middle of the page at the same time as changing the font size. I had given my viewer two different pieces of information to signify a single change in hierarchy. Not only that, I had added a border around the letters in the title, this adding extra lines to the composition and distorting the letterforms. He then proceeded to point out similar flaws in the majority of the rest of the text-based work that I produced (not a great start if you're looking to work at a company that designs logos). The general lesson I learnt that days has stuck though. Every extra line or colour change you add to a composition is extra information. If that information is not necessary, or does not signify something important, it is a distraction from the information that does. Do not add extra colours or lines unless they are absolutely necessary to understand the information correctly. When you create a composition, you have to work out which piece of information is the most important piece to communicate. Your choice will influence how effectively you can communicate the rest of the information, so it is important to isolate the most important and concentrate on that, bringing it out with bright colours. If you genuinely have two different pieces of information that are equally important, do two drawings. It is better to communicate one thing well than two things poorly. Once you have worked out what the most important thing to communicate is, work out everything else that it is necessary to include in order to communicate the key thing well. You should still include this information, however it is of secondary importance, and therefore should use more muted colour schemes. Any information that does not fall into one of these two categories should be discarded. In the above illustration I was trying to make a more effective diagram of how the nerves and arteries in the hand are arranged. Most anatomy textbooks feature illustrations which, whilst technically accurate, overwhelm the viewer with detail and require an extensive amount of time to decipher. The key things I wanted to illustrate were the nerves and arteries so I represented these in the highest contrast colours available. Originally I was going to simply feature the silhouette of the hand, however I felt that this lacked the context of how the veins and arteries were arranged with respect to the bones. In the hand the bones are the most obvious things to find, and the palm of the hand is quite deep. I felt that it was necessary to include the bones in a subtle way to show that the hand was palm-up and that the majority of the arteries did lie on that side of the hand (which is obvious if you look at your wrist). Below are links to some examples of science illustration that I think follows the key principles listed above, simplicity, technical accuracy, and looking different.Human Body by Clear as Mud at www.clear-as-mud.co.uk This human body illustration by Clear as Mud provides a simple way to illustrate how the human body internal organs and skeletons are arranged. A few liberties have been taken with the intestines, which don't make the distinction between the small and large intestine, however this is an understandable compromise to make the shape of the pelvis more visible. I personally think that this illustration would be very well-suited to a KS2/KS3 science textbook as students at this level often have to draw the human body, and a simplified diagram such as this is much easier to replicate in the exam that the ones often shown in textbooks. This illustration by Alison Haigh is a clever and very simple representation of the atoms in the periodic table looking at just the number of electrons in their orbitals. Haigh has clearly researched her subject matter carefully, correctly showing that certain D-block elements (such as Chromium and Copper) preferentially fill their 3d orbitals over the 4s orbital. My only criticism is that by separating electrons into the main energy levels, it makes it less clear when an atom has a full outer shell or an almost-filled one (see groups 7 and 8). In conclusion, different styles of illustration suit different areas of science, due to the differing nature of their briefs. It is a mistake to assume that just because a certain style is seen as 'the norm', it should be used for everything.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Vivid Biology is a UK design studio that specialises in creating illustration and graphic design for biomedical research We work with Biotech, Communications, Publishing, Universities and Researchers to create engaging science visuals and sophisticated We like a challenge. We believe it’s possible to make great visuals whilst still getting the science right. Science is often difficult to communicate with words alone. Unfamiliar jargon can alienate people outside your field, but paraphrasing everything via everyday examples can be confusing and imprecise. A diagram gives you a discussion point to find common ground. Not everyone has an hour to sit down and debate the finer details of a technical process. Time-pressed grant funders and investors appreciate quick summaries and figures that help them understand the important bits quickly. Everyone can appreciate the aesthetics of a good visual. Whereas unfamiliar words or sludgy prose can be alienating, pictures draw people in and provide a good starting point to ask questions, explain processes and tell stories. We help you engage with investors and new customers. Our artwork is available for use in media. We can also create feature illustrations for longer articles. We synthesise the information in complex papers using technical diagrams. We redraw technical diagrams and data visuals to brand and publication standards. We create artwork to engage readers and technical diagrams that support text. Claudia has been working in Science Illustration since she graduated in 2012. She set up Vivid Biology in 2015 when moving to Bristol from London. Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Motion graphics are moving illustrations and graphics, of which often loop to having a seamless continuation of movement. We are often hired by Researchers in Academia, Publishing as well as policy makers and journalists. The most common use is on websites, social media and articles. Motion graphics make projects far more dynamic and engaging, and can often demonstrate processes or movements far easier than a still image. We’ve created plenty of journal-spec figures before. This is our usual workflow. We’ve also created technical figures for early stage biotech companies. If you need us to sign a confidentiality agreement or NDA then let us know. We’ve also contracted for major medical communications agencies to redraw technical figures under tight turnarounds. First, we will ask you to send a rough mock up or sketch for us to work from. It can be a pencil sketch, a PowerPoint slide or whichever format you feel comfortable with, we are able to work with many different methods. Once we create a first draft, we will send it to you for review. We expect there might be some minor errors. Usually clients will add comments to PDFs in Acrobat, others prefer the traditional approach of red pen on print-outs. Our team will then research the journal requirements for the size and format of the figure to ensure it meets the specifications. We’ll continue this process of revision until you are completely happy with the final result including colour schemes. We'll provide the artwork to you in any desired format. Here at Vivid Biology, we understand the science underpinning technical figures. We’re also adept at creating great designs that intuitively guide readers through a process. We can transform as simple pencil sketch into a publication-ready figure that’s easy to edit if further details come to light. We can redraw data plots and figures to journal guidelines, either from original data or tracing vector files from images. We can also take previously published figures that you’ve got permission to reproduce, and redraw them as publication-ready vector files. Work with Biotech, Communications, Publishing, Universities and Researchers to create engaging science visuals and sophisticated technical diagrams. If you need a graphical abstract or table of contents figure to go with a manuscript, we can take a pencil sketch or powerpoint mock-up and create a crisp, uniformly styled schematic that will help you stand out. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/services-2 ### Title: Services list ### Page ID: 8657657 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. The N2 room is one of three pieces created to decorate the meeting rooms of the new offices of Mendeley/Elsevier at the Alphabeta Building in London’s Finsbury Square. The three rooms are mainly used by internal technical teams to discuss projects. Mendeley wanted some whimsical illustrations that reminded employees of their users, and also incorporated some of the Mendeley code. The artworks illustrate the difficulty that scientific researchers have finding the papers that they want to, as shown by researchers fishing for topics (Nitrogen) and using Claw Grab machines (Hydrogen). Finding the right paper in a sea of articles can be tricky. Mendeley’s algorithm extracts relevant metadata from papers to assist researchers with paper searches. Analysis of the data of papers already in a researcher’s library also allows the algorithm to suggest papers that they might want to read next. The hooks attached to metadata in the illustration are attached to strings that are made up of the original Mendeley application code. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/advertising-artworks-2 ### Title: Advertising Artworks ### Page ID: 8657661 ### Content: # Our Process ### Examples of Previous Work Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. The Genetics Society of America commissioned a special issue cover to celebrate 200 years since the birth of Gregor Mendel. We wanted to nod towards his study of pea plants, but include some more contemporary ideas from genetics too in order to show how the ideas are still relevant today. We settled on visuals that also included DNA and RNA. Gregor Mendel developed many of his theories of inheritance by studying pea plants.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. We were commissioned to design the cover artwork for Cell (Volume 185, Issue 13), to illustrate the work of Omer-Javed et al.. Omer-Javed and Colleagues utilised the method of mobilisation to insert corrected blood stem cells into the depleted niche, without the need for toxic conditioning regimens. In gene therapy, mobilisation refers to when damaged cells (yellow) leave the bone marrow and enter the bloodstream (top left) with the help of 'mobilisers'. After the infusion of gene therapy, the objective is for cells carrying the functional gene (green) to migrate into the now-depleted bone marrow and over time, generate new blood cells with the functional gene (bottom right). Usually, chemotherapy is required to remove these damaged cells. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/journal-covers-2 ### Title: Journal covers ### Page ID: 8657680 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Nanostrings counts the number of specific RNA transcripts in a sample. It’s key features are precise quantitative readouts matched to specific transcripts and the ability to detect very low quantities. The artwork illustrated these features by having the RNA transcripts collected in marbles which were then sorted according to sequence at the bottom. The top of the artwork illustrates the more technical details of RNA reporter binding. The artwork was used in exhibition backdrops and across digital and print marketing. Nanostrings allows for precise quantitative measurement of RNAs.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. This technical figure was developed for the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. It depicts a sarcomere, the basic contractile unit of a muscle fibre. The displayed sarcoplasmic reticulum is the primary regulator of calcium storage, release, and reuptake while the mitochondria are responsible for cellular ATP production. The sarcomere is the functional unit responsible for allowing the contraction of muscles. It consists of a bundle of myosin-containing thick filaments (depicted in purple) flanked and interdigitated with bundles of actin-containing thin filaments (depicted in green/red). The Z disk marks the lateral boundaries of the sarcomere and serves as the anchoring point of the actin filaments. The genes "Mybpc3" and "Ttn" are essential for the production of proteins that enable correct interaction of actin and myosin during contraction. The sarcoplasmic reticulum provides the calcium that is required for muscle contractions. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/hcp ### Title: HCP (Host Cell Proteins) ### Page ID: 8657684 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. This artwork was created for Canopy Biosciences to promote their Host Cell Protein (HCP) Elisa Kits. These kits are designed to detect impurities in protein samples. They are used where cells (typically CHO cells) have been genetically engineered to produce specific proteins in large quantities. Samples of these proteins may be contaminated by proteins normally found in the host cell. These kits use antibody assays (ELISA) to scan the samples for all proteins specific to the host cell that has been used to give a simple yes/no result for purity. The artwork was used in exhibition backdrops and across digital and print marketing. The image artistically depicts the processes taking place within the HCP ELISA kit, such as assessment of solution purity derived from engineered cells. The artwork emphasised the purity of samples by using imagery related to water, which originates from the cells in the top half of the image. Detection of proteins occurs as the drops fall from the top. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/nanostrings-diagram ### Title: Nanostrings Diagram ### Page ID: 8657685 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. This technical figure was developed for Canopy Biosciences for their NanoString nCounter gene expression assay. The way in which information is encoded within a gene and the impact this has on protein assembly is known as gene expression. Traditional RNA analysis requires conversion and amplification reactions which can introduce bias, error and variability. The NanoString permits digital counting of the native RNA in a sample and quantitative measurement of changes in gene expression, making the techniques faster and simple than other options available.   This technical figure was carefully designed to clearly demonstrate the different stages of the gene expression assay from using probes to identifying the target, to purifying the sample and quantifying the final product. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/rareseq-diagram ### Title: Rareseq Diagram ### Page ID: 8657686 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

The displayed images show human red blood cells whose genetic material is being edited by the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The latter is one of the most efficient genome engineering tools for precise genetic manipulation. Red blood cells are unusual in that they have no nucleus as mature cells. The nucleus is 'spat out' during development to make more room for haemoglobin. The red blood cell lives for about two weeks in the circulatory system, and is then recycled without further cell division. This means that if you want to genetically edit red blood cells, you need to edit the stems cells that create them rather than the red blood cells themselves. A popular reason for editing red blood cells is to remove cell surface markers. These proteins dictate which blood group (A, B, AB, O) the cell is. Removing all cell surface molecules theoretically creates a red blood cell that can be used by anyone without immune reaction. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/model-organisms-infographic ### Title: Model Organisms Infographic ### Page ID: 8657691 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. This technical figure displays some of the most commonly used model organisms in biomedical research. These non-human model organisms may possess various genetic and physiological characteristics that are highly relevant for the experimental design. This technical diagram depicts the 5 most common model organisms used in research: Mus musculus, Drosophila melanogaster, Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Caenorhabditis elegans. Model organisms are non-human species that have specific experimental advantages and have therefore been widely studied in the lab to help scientists understand specific biological processes, traits or diseases. Using this diagram you can compare each model organism by cost, lifespan, size of the genome (number of base pairs) etc. When choosing the right model organism for your research there are a lot of factors to consider!  - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/bristol-biodesign-totem ### Title: Bristol Biodesign Totem ### Page ID: 8657692 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. This artwork was inspired by the work of neuropharmacology Professor David Nutt examining the effect of psychedelic drugs on the human brain. Multiple studies revealed that substances such as LSD and psilocybin (from magic mushrooms) may have positive therapeutic effects in individuals with mental health problems or addictions. They have anti-anxiety, anti-depressive and anti-addictive effects, which they trigger by stimulating of the brains pleasure circuits. The brain is arguably the most important organ in the human body. It controls various functions reaching from unconscious breathing to processing thoughts and emotions. This highly complex organ can be structurally and functionally manipulated by psychedelic substances. These can cause altered cognitive processes, perception and mood. Advancements in biomedical research and medicine suggest that this may be harnessed for treatment of mental health problems. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/cellatrix-diagram ### Title: Cellatrix technical diagram ### Page ID: 8657695 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. This work was created for eLife, a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. This artwork was designed to complement a series of articles offering philosophical perspectives on the life sciences. The artwork was created to highlight that scientific philosophers are moving away from discussing only evolution to now encompass a wide range of topics. The subjects covered in this series included philosophical bias, synthetic biology, regeneration, stem cells, microbiology, immunology, big data, and the use of art to better understand a biological process. At first, the philosophy of science revolved around the evolutionary theories of life on earth. However, its focus shifted and numerous scientific topics emerged that supply data for philosophical speculation. The latter tries to unravel and define the foundations, methods and implications of science as a whole. Hereby philosophers create and evaluate the models of natural systems, which is also termed cognition and metacognition. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/research-culture ### Title: Research Culture ### Page ID: 8657697 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

This technical figure was developed for Canopy Biosciences for their TUNR flexible gene editing technology which worked alongside CRISPR-Cas9 system. This brightly coloured figure was designed to demonstrate how TUNR can precisely tune and control the gene expression process, eliminating artifacts. We wanted to go with a musical theme to illustrate the concept, and cycled through a few ideas involving instruments and orchestras. Eventually we chose a mixing deck, as this felt both modern and gave the impression of precise control. TUNR is a technology that enables scientists to modulate gene expression by making the gene too slippery for RNA polymerase to correctly adhere. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/nuffield-bioethics ### Title: Nuffield Bioethics ### Page ID: 8657702 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

We created these two graphics, which were featured in the print and online version of the report, to illustrate the points at which editing could take place, and the types of editing available. The infographics enabled visualisation of the artificial scientific procedures involved in genome editing to support the discussion of its social and ethical implications and considerations in human reproduction. Should we be allowed to edit our DNA if the edits will be passed on to our children? These technologies are fast leaving the realm of scientific fantasy, and the ethics of technologies that may be possible in the near future need to be discussed now.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Vivid Biology have collaborated with the Gurdon Institute to advertise their seminars since 2012. To date we have illustrated for approximately 80 seminars over seven years. The Gurdon Institute seminar series sees researchers from around the world being invited to the Gurdon Institute in Cambridge to give a lecture on their most recent work. There are typically 10-12 seminars per year.  Creating a poster for Prof Jennifer Doudna was the most high-profile seminar that we have designed for. We picked a yellow base to make the poster stand out in public, and created a version of the traditional CRISPR diagram than included the helical structure of DNA. This required some research into electron microscopy to estimate how many turns were present on each part of the gRNA. CRISPR, or clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, are a component of the bacterial immune system that help it target and destroy invading double-stranded viral DNA. It's also a promising technology that could allow us to precisely edit DNA. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/bristol-know-show ### Title: Bristol Know Show ### Page ID: 8657704 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

This banner was created for eLife to promote their call for papers for a Special Issue focusing on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer prevention, control and care. This issue discussed the specific impact COVID had on cancer diagnosis, treatment and infection.  The COVID-19 pandemic was an unprecedented burden for the the healthcare sector worldwide. This in turn had serious implications for all types of cancer care such as screening and diagnosis, as well as modified treatment plans to minimise risk of infection of vulnerable patients. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/steve-jackson ### Title: Steve Jackson ### Page ID: 8657710 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. This artwork was created for a talk of Dr Steve Jackson at the University of Bristol.  The illustration displays strands of DNA that are being edited by restriction enzymes. Human genetic material is exposed to and damaged by exogenous stimuli on a daily basis. These alterations on the genetic level can give rise to a variety of pathologies and diseases. Thus, unraveling the pathways, principles and components involved in DNA repair may hold enormous clinical value, as depicted by genetic material being packaged in tablet form.  - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/abder-kaidi ### Title: Khadi Optogenetics press release ### Page ID: 8657711 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. This artwork was created for a press release of the University of Bristol announcing funding for research on optogenic systems. Optogenetic systems are novel research tools that allow the regulation of neuronal activity. They use engineered photoreceptor proteins that change gene expression upon a light stimulus. These receptors are bound to chromosomes and directly manipulate the genetic function of the targeted cells. This allows rapid manipulation of gene function via chemical reactions.  - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/wendy-bickmore ### Title: Wendy Bickmore ### Page ID: 8657712 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Since then, science has come a long way, and bacteria are classified mainly by DNA sequencing today, but the shapes still play a large role. Not only is the shape of a bacterium important to the scientist studying it, the shape is also essential to the bacterium itself. Just like most other characteristics of a living organism, the bacterial shape morphology has an evolutionary history. It contributes to its ability to find and absorb nutrients, its movements and the escape from predators. The bacillus rod shape is now believed to be the ancestral form of bacteria.

They belong to a family of DNA sequences found in the genomes of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and archaea. These sequences are derived from DNA fragments of bacteriophages that had previously infected the prokaryote. They form the basis for the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology. CRISPR/Cas9 edits genes by precisely cutting DNA and then letting natural DNA repair processes to take over. The system consists of two parts: the Cas9 enzyme and a guide RNA. The technique makes it simple to precisely change a piece of DNA in one or a few cells in living things, including us. CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats.

The discovery of the double helix, the twisted-ladder structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953 marked a milestone in the history of science and gave rise to modern molecular biology, which is largely concerned with understanding how genes control the chemical processes within cells. Today we know that DNA is an organic chemical that contains genetic information and instructions for protein synthesis, while simultaneously possessing the power to control the biochemical activities of cells. It is found in most cells of every organism. DNA is a key part of reproduction in which genetic heredity occurs through the passing down of DNA from parent or parents to offspring.

Coffee is the second most popular beverage in the world, beaten only by water! The substance caffeine is actually a psychoactive drug; and the most widely used one in the world, with a total annual consumption of over 120 000 tonnes. The molecule itself is an alkaloid; a nitrogen and carbon-based ring structure (C8H10N4O2), also known as trimethylxanthine. It has a half-life of about 6 hours, and is metabolised by the liver.

Comprising only 1% of the total blood volume, white blood cells are relatively small in number but have a powerful impact on our health. Similar to red blood cells, they are produced in the bone marrow. However, instead of circulating freely in the bloodstream, most white blood cells are stored in specialised organs such as the thymus, spleen, bone marrow, and lymph nodes until they are needed. White blood cells are the valiant defenders of our immune system. Despite their limited presence in the bloodstream, they diligently safeguard our well-being. What's even more remarkable is that once white blood cells encounter a pathogen, they don't simply retreat when the threat subsides. They retain a few memory cells on constant alert, prepared to mount a rapid response in case of a recurring encounter with the same disease. This immunological memory enables the body to provide a faster and more efficient defense if confronted with a familiar pathogen, potentially preventing the need to endure the same illness again.

First isolated in 1933, when scientists realised influenza was different to bacterial pneumonia, these pathogenic particles can be subdivided into types A, B and C. The latter two infect humans only, but type A is known to infect a range of other warm-blooded animals, including pigs, cattle, seals and birds. An influenza virus is made up of single-stranded, negative sense RNA in eight segments. This means that the virus needs to use a host to convert its genetic information into positive sense (“forward”) material to be able to start transcription. The virus creates a membrane using host lipids, and the outside of the membrane is coated in glycoproteins. Influenza A has two proteins called hemagglutinin and neuramidase; these can both be seen in this influenza print. The influenza virus is a respiratory pathogen that is a member of the Orthomyxoviridae family. First isolated in 1933, when scientists realised influenza was different to bacterial pneumonia, these pathogenic particles can be subdivided into types A, B and C. The latter two infect humans only, but type A is known to infect a range of other warm-blooded animals, including pigs, cattle, seals and birds.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Chromatin is the term referred to genomic DNA when it is attached to proteins called histones. DNA contains sections of coding strands, called genes, and the information on these genes can be translated into duplicate strands called RNA. This encoding information is usually used to produce proteins, which then have an effect on cellular function. However, some genes remain in an intermediate stage (RNA) and never become proteins. These are known as long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), but they still have important functions. They can modify which genes are switched on or off by combining with other proteins, which results in changes to chromatin structure. These changes determine which genes can be physically accessed, thus switching them on and off. Long noncoding RNAs or lncRNAs are not translated to protein yet have important effects in gene regulation through various mechanisms. They are thought to form large complexes with other proteins that regulate chromatin structure. These ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes can modulate gene expression by enacting changes to chromatin. lncRNAs, therefore, have important regulatory roles. Here, we tried to emphasise the mechanism of action of long noncoding RNAs (influencing gene expression at the level of histones and affecting chromatin structure). So, a histone is the main focus of the illustration but it is flanked by drawings of chromosomes which are marked by orange spots, showing how this mechanism has effects at a higher-level of organisation, the chromatin. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/engineering-epithelial-organoid-development ### Title: Engineering epithelial organoid development ### Page ID: 8657768 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Cells can form complex structures by themselves in a process known as self-organisation. Scientists have discovered that this principle can lead to cells forming tiny, three-dimensional, functioning cell systems in the lab. These are known as organoids - they behave similarly to real organs. Therefore, they are extremely useful in medical research, allowing scientists to freely experiment without having to utilise a human patient. However, organoid technology is still improving and more research is needed on how self-organisation works to reap the full benefits of this advancing field. The Lütolf Lab studies the formation of organoids, self-sustaining tissue cultures made of stem cells that mimic real organs, which have extensive uses for medical and biological research. The key to this is understanding the principles of self-organisation to create long-lasting and sustainable cultures. Using bioengineering techniques, the lab aims to investigate the processes that occur in stem cells and manipulate them to improve organoid technology. The focus of the research is how cells self-organise to form complex structures. The main theme of the illustration is therefore the spontaneous formation of a larger, more complex tissue, visible through a single cell proliferating to form a pattern resembling epithelial lining. This is emphasised by the repetition of this pattern. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/signalling-pathways-regulating-cell-fate-allocation-in-the-early-mouse-embryo ### Title: Signalling pathways regulating cell fate allocation in the early mouse embryo ### Page ID: 8657769 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Signalling pathways regulating cell fate allocation in the early mouse embryo Humans and mammals start out as a mass of cells known as an embryo. During this stage, if some cells behave incorrectly, it can lead to complications at birth, such as missing limbs. For embryos to safely develop into babies with no such anomalies, a complicated network of signals is established and maintained, telling each cell exactly what it is they need to do. The Robertson Lab study how these signals work and what is involved in these signals to obtain a clearer picture of embryological development. Elizabeth Robertson and her lab study the molecular signals used in correctly patterning the mammalian embryo, using mice as a model system. In particular, they are studying the Nodal/Smad2 and the BMP/Smad1 pathways which are responsible for anterior-posterior patterning and germ cell specification, respectively. In each pathway, there is a specific target gene that is affected (Eomesodermin and Blimp1, respectively) and they aim to understand the functions of these genes and how this relates to tissue morphogenesis of the embryo. The main illustration shows an early mouse embryo at the gastrulation stage, receiving signals, which shows the two key concepts of the research. To fill the empty space and emphasise the idea of morphogenesis and how signals are important to the continuing development of the embryo, outlines of mice embryos at different stages fill the background. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/homeoboxes-build-the-nervous-system ### Title: Homeoboxes build the nervous system ### Page ID: 8657770 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. The nervous system is made up of many cells called neurons of which there are many different types. For cells to develop into the correct neuronal type, a specific set of genes must be switched on. The Hobert Lab investigates how such genes are switched on and what genes are involved in determining what type of nerve cell cells will become. The homeobox gene family are a group of genes that are active in the early stages of embryonic development and regulate large-scale anatomical features. They also play a pivotal role in determining neuronal cell type. The Hobert Lab aims to understand how the complexity and diversity of an animal's nervous system can be specified at the gene level, using *C. elegans* as a model system (though they have established principles that are applicable to other chordates). More specifically, they are investigating how gene expression regulation can result in different neuronal identities. They have found that co-regulation of a set of genes (known as a gene battery) is an important feature of the determination of neuronal identity, with the homeobox gene family being particularly important. We wanted to establish the link between the expression of homeobox genes and neuronal identity so the illustration is kept simple with an emphasis of colour. The bright dots show where the neurons are and the similarity of colour to the homeobox genes give a sense of connection between the two systems. The linkage of the different homeobox genes also highlight the idea of co-regulation of genes. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/symmetry-breaking-in-gastruloids-development ### Title: Symmetry breaking in gastruloids development ### Page ID: 8657771 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Cells can aggregate together to become a larger, more complex system known as a tissue. Cells begin the same but need to become different cell types for the tissue to function properly as different roles need to be fulfilled, like how a working society needs doctors, service workers, food producers, etc to operate efficiently. The Liberali lab investigates how these cells specialise and what cellular properties and external conditions contribute to this process. Gastruloids are balls of cells that are used in research to mimic embryo development. They are grown from a selection of mouse embryonic stem cells and over time, they develop into three-dimensional structures that closely resemble various aspects of early mammalian development. The Liberali Lab studies how stem cells self-organise into more complex structures. One area of research they are pursuing is in the breakage of symmetry and they use gastruloids (embryonic organoids) as their model system. During the development of a tissue, cells will initially be identical to each other. However, after differentiation into different cell types, cells become different, introducing asymmetry to the tissue, both in terms of structure and function. The lab aims to understand what mechanisms cause this symmetry breaking and how cells differentiate into one form instead of another. The main point of the research is symmetry, so we sought to create a design that would work well across a clear plane of symmetry. As gastruloids are the system used, they constituted the main unit of the pattern and by creating different illustrations at different stages of development this created enough variation for an aesthetically-pleasing pattern design. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/chromatin-replication-and-epigenome-maintenance ### Title: Chromatin Replication and Epigenome Maintenance ### Page ID: 8657772 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Each cell contains genetic information in the form of DNA that effectively tells it how to behave. Protecting this information is integral to normal cellular function and changes to it can lead to cancer. DNA exists as a long sequence of different molecules and is associated to different proteins. Both its sequence and its protein associations represent important information that must be preserved and passed on to future cells. The Groth Lab focuses on the maintenance of these DNA-protein associations and how this may have relevance for disease. Chromatin, not just the DNA sequence, needs to be replicated faithfully to preserve information represented by epigenetic modifications. Maintenance of chromatin and the epigenome is crucial to understanding disease at the cellular level. The Groth Lab uses genomic and proteomic techniques to identify the processes that enable faithful replication and transmission of chromatin states and epigenetic changes across cellular lineages. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/mechanistic-basis-of-epigenetic-switching-and-memory ### Title: Mechanistic basis of epigenetic switching and memory ### Page ID: 8657773 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Mechanistic basis of epigenetic switching and memory Epigenetics studies how and why cells switch genes on and off. Epigenetic memory is when the offspring of a cell inherit the same pattern of on/off genes as their parents. This means that events that happened to the parents, which made them turn genes on and off, are 'remembered' by their descendants. Genes are the instructions for cells which tell them how and when to make different proteins. Genes are stored as strands of DNA in the nucleus, where they’re wrapped around proteins called histones. This system of wrapping means cells can store 2 metres of DNA inside a nucleus that’s too small to see without a microscope. One way of switching genes on and off is controlling how tightly DNA is wrapped around histones. DNA that is looser is easier to get to, so proteins that read the gene instructions will read these genes more frequently, and make more of those proteins. DNA can be loosened by changing the proteins that are bound to it. Sometimes genes are switched on or off for a long time, which is called epigenetic memory as it helps cells remember events that happened a long time ago. These memories are be passed to daughter cells when the cell divides, which means they often outlive the original cell. Epigenetic modifications are stably maintained across a cell's descendent lineage, a phenomenon known as epigenetic memory. The Howard Lab investigates the mechanistic basis of epigenetic memory using the floral regulator *FLC* as their molecular system of choice. *FLC* represents an ideal choice as it is epigenetically repressed by cold conditions, with a longer period of cold resulting in quantitatively more loci being repressed, establishing a clear use of memory at the molecular level. We wanted to have a section of an *Arabidopsis* root as a central figure of the illustration as it is a common visualisation used by the Howard Lab. The illustration is then completed with strands of histone-DNA complexes which adds texture to the image and clearly capitulates the molecular focus of the research. The histones maintain the same modifications throughout the strands, highlighting the idea of memory. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/robustness-and-scaling-in-early-development-the-distal-pinning-mechanism ### Title: Robustness and scaling in early development: the "distal pinning" mechanism ### Page ID: 8657774 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Robustness and scaling in early development: the "distal pinning" mechanism Cells distribute specific molecules called morphogens to help create patterns during development, such as the body plan - essentially deciding where each body part goes. A mechanism called 'distal pinning' makes sure this patterning process goes smoothly. It combines ways of measuring morphogen levels in specific areas and observing how they spread. Naama Barkai and colleagues have found that a gene enhancer called *wntD* plays a crucial role in this. Our genetic information is stored in our DNA as genes and can be found in all cells in our body. Transcription is a process where these genes are converted into a molecule called RNA. RNA serves as a template for building proteins, which are essential for the structure and function of living organisms. Gene enhancers are small sections of DNA that can bind to specific areas of the DNA and can increase the likelihood that a particular gene will be transcribed and a particular protein to be made. Naama Barkai and her colleagues have investigated the mechanisms underlying pattern formation during the early development of the Drosophila embryo. They propose a concept called "distal pinning" that combines local sensing of morphogen levels with global modulation of gradient spread to achieve robustness. Their research demonstrates the crucial role of a gene enhancer *wntD* in sensing the morphogen levels - this determines its global distribution and enables reliable patterning during development. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/cell-competition-during-development-and-disease ### Title: Cell competition during development and disease ### Page ID: 8657775 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. All cells age and this ageing process can be identified by other cells. It is important to remove ageing cells so that the cellular population is kept healthy. This process helps both to prevent cancer (by removing 'bad' cells) and promotes cancer (as cancerous cells are perceived as 'super-fit'). The Moreno Lab investigates how cells interact with and compete with each other and how this relates to disease. The Moreno Lab focuses on cell fitness and how this relates to disease. Cells may age and decrease in fitness. These cells are identified by its neighbours and eliminated in favour of newer, healthier cells and this process of competition and elimination is important in the incipience of cancer. Using the fruit fly as a model organism, the Moreno Lab studies how cell competition works, such as by identifying 'fitness fingerprints' used by cells to gauge the health and age of neighbours. We wanted to highlight the idea of heterogeneity in cellular populations as this contributes to cellular competition so we came up with this idea of a repeating hexagonal pattern. There is some variation in the hexes to give the idea that they are not exactly identical and to add texture to the illustration, but they remain predominantly similar. Then there are clearly more fit cells which are highlighted in brighter and larger shapes and less fit cells which are darker and smaller, representing this idea of selection and growth and removal and decay, respectively. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/stem-cells-in-silence-action-and-cancer ### Title: Stem Cells in Silence, Action and Cancer ### Page ID: 8657776 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Stem cells are a type of cell that can become any other type of cell and are extremely useful in maintaining tissues and organs, especially when cells die or are damaged. However, stem cells can cause havoc when they are left uncontrolled and their continued multiplication could result in cancer. The Fuchs Lab research how cellular processes can facilitate stem cell activity whilst restricting it enough so that it does not cause disease. The Fuchs Lab aims to understand how stem cells are recruited to replace ageing and damaged tissues and how this can lead to cancer when perturbed. Adult stem cells are found in all tissues and are used to replace old cells but, given their pluripotency and proliferative capacity, must be tightly controlled to prevent the formation of cancerous tissue. The lab investigates the mechanisms that control the interplay between stem cell inactivity and action and their potential role in oncogenesis. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/the-blastocyst-and-its-stem-cells-from-mouse-to-human-relevance ### Title: The blastocyst and its stem cells: from mouse to human relevance ### Page ID: 8657777 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Janet Rossant’s work is concerned with cell fate in embryological development. Her research has shed light on how early embryonic stem cells develop into different cell lineages and has identified some of the genes that underlie this process. Furthermore, she has contributed to the discovery of the trophoblast stem cell. Her current work continues to investigate the mechanisms and genetic factors involved in the development of embryonic stem cells, using mice as model systems for applications in treating human disease. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/epigenetic-memory-over-geological-timescales ### Title: Epigenetic memory over geological timescales ### Page ID: 8657778 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Epigenetics studies how and why cells switch genes on and off. Cells require information to function properly - it is stored in their DNA or genetic material. Specific sections of DNA (genes) encode for specific proteins. The addition of epigenetic 'marks' to the DNA affects how the genetic information is read, which may lead to changes and modifications in the resulting protein. Sometimes genes are switched on or off for a long time, which is called epigenetic memory as it helps cells remember events that happened a long time ago. These memories are passed to daughter cells when the cell divides, which means they often outlive the original cell. Therefore, these changes are thought to be maintained over many generations, but the Madhani Lab found that these can be maintained over much longer time periods, at the scale of millions of years. The Madhani Lab studies the regulation of chromatin in the fungal species *Cryptococcus neoformans*. More specifically, they investigate how epigenetic modifications may be formed *de novo* and maintained stably. In *C. neoformans*, they have established that methylation marks can be maintained over millions of years within a species, without *de novo* methylation. We wanted to make the scale of time the focal point of the illustration and so we decided to use rock strata as the main theme as it is quite iconic imagery associated with geological eras. We chose to represent epigenetic memory simply, via a DNA sequence marked with coloured spots so that it doesn't detract from this central topic. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/spatio-temporal-dynamics-of-cell-fate-specification-and-differentiation-in-the-zebrafish-embryo ### Title: Spatio-temporal dynamics of cell fate specification and differentiation in the zebrafish embryo ### Page ID: 8657779 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Spatio-temporal dynamics of cell fate specification and differentiation in the zebrafish embryo In the developing embryo, signals are required for cells to differentiate into the correct cell types which will eventually become different organs. An important signal is delivered by proteins that are part of a group known as the 'Hedgehog protein family'. These are proteins that are passed between different cells and signal for cells to become this type or that. The Ingham Lab aims to understand how Hedgehog signalling works - how they move between different cells and how they find the right targets. The Ingham Lab studies the molecular pathways involved in determining cell fate in the zebrafish embryo. The lab is well known for its research on the Hedgehog family of intercellular signalling proteins and how their different members play a role in cell differentiation and morphogenesis in the developing vertebrate embryo. The Ingham Lab is predominantly interested in Hedgehog proteins which have a range of functions. We tried to visualise some of these functions - in this case segmentation and cell differentiation - by showing the progression of cells changing and becoming different cells over different sections of a zebrafish embryo, to tie in their system of interest. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/human-regulator-of-telomere-length-helicase-1-rtel1-couples-nuclear-envelope-stability-and-functions-to-genome-replication ### Title: Human Regulator of Telomere Length Helicase 1 (RTEL1) couples nuclear envelope stability and functions to genome replica ### Page ID: 8657780 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Human Regulator of Telomere Length Helicase 1 (RTEL1) couples nuclear envelope stability and functions to genome replica Every time a cell divides, a copy of the genome is made and the genome shortens. The genome contains important information and so it is necessary to protect them from degradation. Telomeres are genome 'caps' found at the end of genomes to protect this information from becoming lost after division. As telomeres are made up of nonsense, repetitive DNA, it doesn't matter if they are lost. However, sometimes telomeres are lost too rapidly or not maintained properly, which can result in the genome being corrupted. RTEL1 plays an important role in regulating telomere maintenance and when this protein doesn't function properly, as a result of a mutation, it can lead to disease. Cells have the ability to maintain telomeres, a property that cancer cells exploit to enhance their longevity. Conversely, the absence of telomere maintenance can lead to the development of certain medical syndromes. The Londoño-Vallejo team focuses on studying the relationship between telomere maintenance and various diseases. Currently, their research is centred around the protein RTEL1, which aids telomere maintenance and preserves genomic stability by facilitating DNA replication and repair. A deficiency in RTEL1 can give rise to severe medical complications. Immediately from the title, there is an idea of multiple functions being brought together by a single protein, which pointed us in the direction of an illustration that would show this overlap. We came up with the idea of a Venn diagram with RTEL1 being in the centre, and the other functions being represented in the component circles. The circles show nuclear envelope stability (top left), RTEL1 in action (top right) and genome replication (bottom). - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/mechanistic-insights-into-the-mrna-polya-tail-machinery-and-dna-repair ### Title: Mechanistic insights into the mRNA poly(A) tail machinery and DNA repair ### Page ID: 8657781 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Mechanistic insights into the mRNA poly(A) tail machinery and DNA repair For genes to have effects, they must first be converted into protein. Part of this process involves reading genes and converting them into a molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA) first. mRNA must travel from the nucleus to a different location in the cell before it is turned into a protein. During this journey, the mRNA might degrade and therefore no protein would be made. To prevent this from happening, mRNA is elongated by adding many of the same molecule (adenosine monophosphate), so that these molecules are degraded instead of the important information in the mRNA. The Passmore Lab investigates the proteins that are responsible for adding, maintaining and removing this poly(A) tail and how this affects how efficiently genes are converted into proteins. The Passmore Lab investigates how protein complexes are used to regulate gene expression, particularly regarding the poly(A) tail. The poly(A) tail is an important factor in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Modifications to its formation and maintenance (due to various protein complexes) affect expression levels. The CPF, Ccr4-Not and Pan2-Pan3 complexes have been identified as important players in poly(A) tail regulation and the Passmore Lab is investigating the mechanisms by which they work. We didn't want to overcomplicate this illustration so we kept it simple, showing various mRNA strands with poly(A) tails at different points of degradation and a DNA strand with multiple breaks, easily showing the two foci of the talk. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/transposable-elements-as-catalysts-of-cellular-innovation ### Title: Transposable elements as catalysts of cellular innovation ### Page ID: 8657782 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Transposable elements as catalysts of cellular innovation The genome contains the genetic information used by cells to function normally. The genome is made up of a very long molecule known as DNA. Some stretches of DNA contain important, readable information that can be used to produce proteins, which have a huge range of uses at the cellular level - these are known as genes. Some stretches of DNA are mobile and can move into different locations in the genome - these are known as transposable elements. Transposable elements sometimes insert themselves into or near genes, which can affect the normal function of that gene. Sometimes, this can turn them into nonsense strands of DNA or it can add new information to provide new functions. Transposable elements can therefore provide novelty to the genome, both in good and bad ways. Transposable elements are mobile genetic elements that can have various effects on the genome. As a result of their movement, they can interfere with native gene function by perturbing coding and/or non-coding sequence and thus act as an important driver of genomic evolution and novelty. The Feschotte Lab aims to understand the novelties transposable elements generate and the mechanisms by which they do so. Transposable elements are mobile and prevalent in host genomes. We wanted to emphasise these features by encompassing the longer DNA strands with many transposable element sequences all in varying locations, which is made more noticeable by their contrasting white colour. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/immune-evasion-and-metastasis-in-colorectal-cancer ### Title: Immune evasion and metastasis in colorectal cancer ### Page ID: 8657783 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Regulation of progenitor cells in adult lung and in lung cancer In the lung (and other parts of the body) there are progenitor cells which are unspecialised cells that will become lung-specific at times of need, for example when the lung is injured. Sometimes, these progenitor cells will multiply when unnecessary and this can lead to cancerous tumours in the lung. The Kim Lab uses various techniques in the lab to understand how these progenitors function normally and what has to happen for them to go wrong and start causing disease. The Kim Lab manipulates stem cell research to further our understanding of the adult lung and lung cancer. They have developed molecular tools to further understand lung biology and use various experimental systems and methods such as organoid cultures, genetic lineage tracing, and genetically engineered mouse models. One of their key lines of research is understanding how stem cell-like progenitor cells in the lung are renewed and differentiate, finding an important role for epigenetics in lung repair and tumorigenesis. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/on-the-function-of-prdm15-a-member-of-the-prdm-family-of-transcriptional-regulators-in-development-and-lymphomagenesis ### Title: On the function of PRDM15, a member of the PRDM family of transcriptional regulators, in development and lymphomagenesis ### Page ID: 8657785 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

On the function of PRDM15, a member of the PRDM family of transcriptional regulators, in development and lymphomagenesis A gene is converted into a molecule known as mRNA before it is turned into protein. Some genes can produce different mRNA variations depending on how they are read (for example, certain letters could be missed out resulting in different information being passed on). This can result in different protein variations with different functions. One example of this are PRDM proteins and some variants can have anti-cancer effects but some may also promote cancer. The Guccione Lab is looking to see how these PRDM proteins work and how they can be used to fight against cancer. Ernesto Guccione and his lab are interested in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation and how better understanding of the mechanisms involved can be used to inform cancer therapies. They are currently investigating the function of PRDM proteins which are transcription factors that can suppress or promote tumour formation. Their effects are dependent on which isoform is generated as a result of alternative splicing. The lab aims to understand how transcription can modify the properties of this protein and how it may be applied for therapeutic purposes. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/smart-light-sheet-microscopes-for-you-and-me ### Title: Smart light sheet microscopes for you and me ### Page ID: 8657786 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Studying the development of embryos at early stages is difficult because of the small scales involved and that subtle changes may be happening that cannot be seen. Microscopes are needed that show the cells at very high detail and the Huisken Lab works to create these microscopes and apply them in their team of engineers and biologists. They also hope to create a system where their microscopes can be freely shared between other researchers. The Huisken Lab work on the interface of physics and biology, developing non-invasive imaging tools that can be applied in developmental research. Organogenesis in zebrafish is a particular research interest to the lab and they are perfecting an optical microscopy platform that can dynamically visualise a living, growing zebrafish embryo, to see how its cells change and create patterns over real time. They are currently developing an open-source platform for other scientists to use their microscopy technology: Flamingo. The Huisken Lab develop microscopes that can visualise at high resolution but also be used to simultaneously view multiple cells, to observe variation. We therefore wanted to show two main concepts in the illustration: visualisation at different scales and variability. So we came up with this concept of different planes across a cell with mock ups of an image produced by a microscope, showing that their technology maintains resolution at all scales but there is also variation in how the organelles may be placed at any one time. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/role-of-h3k27me3-mediated-genomic-imprinting-in-development-and-somatic-cell-nuclear-transfer-reprogramming ### Title: Role of H3K27me3-mediated genomic imprinting in development and somatic cell nuclear transfer reprogramming ### Page ID: 8657787 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Role of H3K27me3-mediated genomic imprinting in development and somatic cell nuclear transfer reprogramming Cloning, the creation of an organism that is genetically identical to an existing organism, is a functioning technology but face roadblocks to efficiency. Cloning requires the duplication of the genetic information of an individual, DNA. Existing cloning technology is able to successfully replicate the sequence of DNA. However, information is also represented in another way (epigenetic modifications) which cloning only partially takes into account. DNA is associated with proteins that are used to package it tightly, and these proteins have 'marks' known as epigenetic modifications. These need to also be replicated and the Zhang Lab aims to understand how we can correctly do so. The Zhang Lab is concerned with understanding how epigenetic modifications play a role in disease and for other applications, mainly focusing on DNA methylation and covalent histone modifications. One area of research they have worked on recently is in somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) reprogramming. SCNT is the process used in cloning Dolly the sheep and face several functional obstacles, one of which is the problem of epigenetics. When cells are cloned they are incompletely reprogrammed, exhibiting only a portion of the epigenetic modifications they require, resulting in downstream problems with clones. The research produced by the Zhang Lab has contributed to the understanding of epigenetic barriers to SCNT. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/generating-human-kidney-tissue-from-pluripotent-stem-cells ### Title: Generating human kidney tissue from pluripotent stem cells ### Page ID: 8657788 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

To do this, they have developed kidney organoids from stem cells and, using this model system, have studied how these cells can be induced to generate the necessary cell types to rebuild a damaged kidney. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/imaging-cancer-invasion-and-pluripotency ### Title: Imaging cancer invasion and pluripotency ### Page ID: 8657789 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

These integrins are important and are used by cancerous cells to develop at many stages, including tumour growth and invasion to other tissues. The Ivaska Lab research how these integrins work in cancer progression and how they may be manipulated to prevent or treat cancer. Integrins are transmembrane proteins used to adhere to other cells and the extracellular matrix. The Ivaska Lab study the role that these integrins play in cancer and have found that they are involved in almost every step of cancer progression. Targeting these proteins therefore may have therapeutic applications against cancer. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/modified-small-rna-regulate-chromosome-dosage-and-segregation ### Title: Modified small RNA regulate chromosome dosage and segregation ### Page ID: 8657790 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

This protein is known as the Cas9 protein and when given a guide molecule, it can find DNA that contains the same sequence and cuts in, resulting in a gap. DNA molecules in the surrounding environment are then used to repair that gap. This technology therefore represents an accurate method of changing the genetic sequence of individuals and is a massive breakthrough in biochemistry.

Towards in vivo structural biology: solving protein structures using deep mutagenesis It is important to know what proteins look like in 3D as their structure is important in determining their function. However, the structures of many proteins have yet to be identified. The Lehner Lab has developed a novel method for finding out the structures of many proteins which uses fewer techniques and apparatus and may potentially allow for function to be inferred also. The Lehner Lab aim to understand how molecular changes affect biological systems. They take a quantitative and predictive approach to this, using large sequence libraries to model how variations at the DNA level affect protein structure and how this affects function and how well they perform this function. Part of their work is concerned with identifying the three-dimensional structures of previously unknown protein domains. They have developed a method of generating high-resolution characterisations of proteins by measuring the activity of mutant variants of proteins in question. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/regulatory-principles-in-human-development-and-evolution ### Title: Regulatory principles in human development and evolution ### Page ID: 8657793 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Regulatory principles in human development and evolution For genes to have an effect on an organism, they must be expressed, being converted into RNA and then protein. There are many stages involved in this conversion and the control of these different stages is known as gene regulation and is important for determining various cellular features, including what cell type a cell will become. Gene regulation does this by determining which genes are switched on or off. Joanna Wysock and group investigate how different gene regulation pathways affect human traits. The central theme of Joanna Wysocka's research is how gene regulation is important in human development and evolution. Her group has therefore investigated a range of different topics, including how epigenetics affects transposable element suppression and how gene regulation is important for differentiation. In particular, she has used pluripotent stem cells to understand how cis-regulation has evolved in hominoids. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/embracing-complexity-a-fly-to-bedside-approach-to-cancer-therapies-2 ### Title: Embracing Complexity: A Fly-to-Bedside Approach to Cancer Therapies ### Page ID: 8657794 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Embracing Complexity: A Fly-to-Bedside Approach to Cancer Therapies Different species can share genes and species that are more related to each other share more genes (e.g. humans and chimps compared to humans and flowers). The fruit fly and humans share numerous fundamental genes, with approximately 75% of disease-causing genes in humans also present in the fruit fly. The Cagan lab makes use of this similarity and intends to understand how diseases work, by using treatments on fruit flies and using the information gained to tailor treatments in humans. The Cagan lab is focused on applying genomics for therapeutic purposes and developing *Drosophila* and organoid model systems to understand the interplay between diseases and treatments. They investigate cancerous diseases and inherited genetic disorders. By modelling how these diseases function in complex models, they can better understand how they may work in humans under clinical settings and their work has already contributed to the development of existing chemotherapeutics. The aim of the lab is to exploit the genetic similarities between humans and *Drosophila*. To highlight this idea of genetic similarity, we decided to use a Venn diagram made of DNA as the central motif of the illustration, with human and fly drawings encapsulated within to show them as model systems in the research. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/sex-differences-in-organ-size-and-plasticity ### Title: Sex differences in organ size and plasticity ### Page ID: 8657795 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Cells do not have defined sexes but they can be sex-specific. Each sex-specific identity determines which genes are turned on and which ones aren't. The genes that are expressed in one sex differ from those expressed in the other. The Miguel-Aliaga lab has found that these sex-specific identities are present in cells in the intestine and play an important role in allowing the intestine to move and change shape. The Miguel-Aliaga lab investigates the plasticity of adult organs, utilising the intestine of *Drosophila melanogaster* as their selected model system. They use a genetic approach to perturb neurons and observe how changes to nervous signalling affect the adult organ. A major finding in the lab are the differences observed at a cellular level in the intestine. Intestinal stem cells exhibit a sex-specific identity, which has been found to play a pivotal role in organ size and plasticity and results from distinct gene expression profiles. The research underlying this talk is concerned with differences in gene expression between different sexes so we chose to use the classic male and female symbols covered in bar charts of different distributions as a reference to visualisations of gene expression. To tie in the study system of the intestine, we had the idea of having the circles within the male/female symbols as a cross-section of an intestine, which you can see trailing into the background. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/protecting-immortality-germ-line-development-in-drosophila ### Title: Protecting Immortality: Germ Line Development in Drosophila ### Page ID: 8657796 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

The Lehmann lab investigate how germ cells work to understand these key functions. The Lehmann lab researches how germ cells develop. Germ cells are special as they can result in the generation of a whole organism, so key questions in their research is how they can maintain their ‘immortality’: how are they protected from cell death, how do they transmit information with fidelity over many cellular lineages, and how can they pass on cytoplasmic components that need to be maintained. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/measuring-and-modeling-the-dynamics-of-developmental-decisions-in-single-cells ### Title: Measuring and Modeling the Dynamics of Developmental Decisions in Single Cells ### Page ID: 8657797 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Measuring and Modeling the Dynamics of Developmental Decisions in Single Cells During development, in a process called differentiation, cells become specialised to turn into specific types of cells with specific functions. Differentiation is divided up into multiple stages, with cells at each stage taking on unique properties and functions that can be detected and tested in the lab. Sharad Ramanathan and his colleagues use different methods to find out how cells decide what cell they will turn into. Once they understand the processes and signals involved, they will be able to predict future decisions during development. The Ramanathan Lab use a combination of computational and experimental tools to investigate the ways in which cells and organisms make decisions during development and behaviour. By using statistical analysis on single-cell transcriptomics data, they aim to understand the process of early mouse embryonic stem cell differentiation, which will help predict cell fate decisions during development. They identified nine distinct cell states of differentiation, each with a unique response to changes and thus different functional properties. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/epigenetic-regulation-by-histone-acetylation ### Title: Epigenetic regulation by histone acetylation ### Page ID: 8657798 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. The Akhtar lab studies a protein called MOF and how it can change the structure of our DNA. DNA holds all the genetic information required by our cells to make proteins and function properly, in small sections called genes. DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones, like spools of wool - they help DNA keep its structure. They found that MOF interacts with these histones. This causes certain genes to become more accessible and easier to turn on or off (this is called epigenetics). By understanding this process, they hope to learn more about how our genes work and how they can affect our bodies. The Akhtar lab focuses on the lysine acetyltransferase MOF (KAT8) and its modification of histone H4 (H4K16ac). This modification directly influences chromatin structure, increasing accessibility. MOF is part of two chromatin-associated complexes, the MSL and NSL complexes, which are conserved in various organisms.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Are RNA granules liquid organelles? Regulation of P granule dynamics by intrinsically-disordered proteins DNA holds all the information required for our cells to function properly. When a specific gene is needed, that section of DNA is copied into RNA, the 'messenger' for DNA. RNA then acts as a temporary blueprint to make proteins. Some RNA molecules form granules. These are structures found within cells that contain RNA molecules and associated proteins, and are used as a centre for RNA processing, storage and regulation. They have been compared to liquid droplets due to their liquid consistency and dynamics. The Seydoux Lab has been investigating how these granules are secured in the cell. In their experiments, specific proteins, described as 'intrinsically disordered' because they lack a fixed 3D structure, were found to form a gel-like substance after they receive a signal from RNA - this gel secures RNA granules in the cell and makes sure they are functioning properly. P granules are a type of RNA granule found in the sex cells of *C.elegans*, a common worm that is used in research as a model organism. The Seydoux Lab use a combination of genetics, microscopy and biochemistry to investigate RNA and protein dynamics in the cytoplasm. RNA granules are formed of protein/RNA condensates through liquid-liquid phase separation. Liquid-liquid phase separation is the spontaneous separation of a homogeneous liquid mixture into two distinct liquid phases driven by changes in environmental conditions or molecular interactions. Seydoux and colleagues have found that these RNA granules are secured in the cytoplasm in a gel-like coat consisting of intrinsically disordered proteins that form a gel in vitro after being stimulated by RNA. Other eukaryotic cells are thought to possibly have adapted this mechanism to secure liquid condensates within the cytoplasm. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/a-solid-state-conceptualization-of-information-transfer-from-gene-to-message-to-protein ### Title: A solid state conceptualization of information transfer from gene to message to protein ### Page ID: 8657800 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. A solid state conceptualization of information transfer from gene to message to protein Genetic information moves from the nucleus in the centre of the cell to different parts of the cell for protein production. They propose that this information transfer is guided by temporary structures formed by specific protein segments. These protein segments are commonly found with proteins that control gene expression and RNA production, but they are also involved other cellular structures and processes. The researchers suggest that these structures, which are weakly assembled and easily disassembled, play a crucial role in accurately relaying genetic information within the cell, ensuring high fidelity in the process. McKnight and his colleagues aim to understand the intricate process of genetic information flow from the nucleus to various sites in the cytoplasm, where proteins are made. They investigate the role of transient structures formed by small loose protein segments in guiding this information transfer. These protein structures are primarily associated with regulatory proteins, that control gene expression. However, they are also involved in other cellular processes, as evident by their presence near nuclear pores and points of intermediate filament assembly. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/growth-coordination-in-drosophila ### Title: Growth coordination in Drosophila ### Page ID: 8657801 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Processes that occur during development will all have a lasting impact on the organism that is being formed, so it is important that these processes are controlled and regulated to prevent mistakes. For an organism to have a body and organs with correct proportions, these processes have to be tightly controlled in different ways. Specific molecules called morphogens control things like organ size, whereas other molecules, such as hormones, control body growth in response to changes in the environment. During development, it is important that body and organ size are regulated and controlled properly, to produce fit individuals with correct proportions. Regulation of size involves both systemic and organ-specific processes and when it malfunctions it can lead to medical conditions like cancer. Several factors are involved, such as short-range morphogens, which are biological substances that guide development by non-uniform distribution and are required to control organ shape and size. Long-range molecules on the other hand, such as hormones, send signals throughout the body in order to regulate body growth in response to the environment. Pierre Léopold and his colleagues use Drosophila as a model organism to help understand the genetic and physiological mechanisms coordinating organ growth and to investigate how organ and body growth adapts to different nutritional environments. As discussed in the title, the model organism utilised by the Lab is the fruit fly, *Drosophila.* To complement the simple title, we decided to illustrate 3 identical fruit flies to highlight the importance of regulating body and organ growth to form organisms with correct proportions. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/robustness-and-dynamics-of-natural-direct-reprogramming ### Title: Robustness and dynamics of natural direct reprogramming ### Page ID: 8657802 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Robustness and dynamics of natural direct reprogramming Cells become specialised in a process called differentiation, whereby cells turn into specific types of cells with specific functions. Once a cell has differentiated into its final cell state, it usually will remain like this. However, in some instances, cells have been shown to 'erase' their functional identity and 'reprogram' to become other cells with other functions. This can occur naturally, for example in diseases like cancer. Sophie Jarriault is interested in understanding how this happens and whether this process can be harnessed for cancer treatments and regenerative medicine- where dysfunctional cells, tissues or organs are replaced or engineered to restore normal function. Sophie Jarriault studies the processes by which a specialised cell can sometimes lose its fixed identity and take upon a new cell fate. She investigates how this transition is regulated and initiated and why this occurs in some cells, but not in their neighbouring cells. So-called transdifferentiation has implications in cancer as well as regenerative medicine. Thus understanding the underlying mechanisms of cell fate determination, cell identity maintenance and cell reprogramming can lead to targeted therapeutic approaches and early diagnostics. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/liver-regeneration-in-the-damaged-liver ### Title: Liver Regeneration in the Damaged Liver ### Page ID: 8657803 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Liver disease is a leading cause of death in the UK, and the number of deaths from cirrhosis is increasing rapidly. Liver transplantation is currently the only effective treatment for end-stage liver disease, but the shortage of donor organs results in many patients dying while waiting for a transplant. To address this, alternative therapies are urgently needed. The liver normally regenerates by dividing mature hepatocytes, but in chronic liver injury, this ability is lost. Fortunately, there are special types of liver cells called hepatic progenitor cells that can regenerate the liver. These versatile cells can give rise to both hepatocytes and biliary epithelium (the lining of the liver) but they also have the potential to develop into liver cancer. The Stuart Forbes Research Group's primary focus is on liver regeneration in chronic disease and its connection to liver cancer development. Their research programs examine the basic biology of hepatic progenitor cells, explore cell therapy for liver regeneration, and investigate the liver cancer niche in cholangiocarcinoma. The goal is to understand the mechanisms controlling liver regeneration, promote healthy regeneration, and mitigate the risk of liver cirrhosis and cancer formation. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/epigenetics-one-genome-multiple-phenotypes ### Title: Epigenetics: One Genome, Multiple Phenotypes ### Page ID: 8657804 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. DNA is found wrapped around proteins which helps compacts it. These proteins may be modified by other proteins which 'mark' them by adding another molecule. This can result in the proteins packing more tightly together or loosening up. As other proteins need to physically access the DNA to 'read' their information, this leads to the silencing or activation of genes, respectively. This is called Epigenetics. The Reinberg Lab aims to understand how the proteins responsible for compacting DNA work and how it might be relevant to disease. The Reinberg Lab's research is concerned with chromatin and how different epigenetic states can lead to different cellular identities, and the processes underlying the formation of these different states. A key focus of their research is understanding the mechanisms of the Polycomb group (PcG) of proteins which compact chromatin by adding epigenetic marks, resulting in gene silencing. They have also studied how defects in this mechanism may contribute to cancerous phenotypes. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/cell-polarity-in-lymphocytes ### Title: Cell polarity in lymphocytes ### Page ID: 8657805 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. In our blood, there are amazing cells called killer cells that are capable of recognising and destroying infected and cancerous cells. These immune cells have specific genes that contribute to their lethal abilities, and it is important to understand the role of each gene. Cell polarity in lymphocytes, like cytotoxic T lymphocytes, means that their cellular components are organised in a specific way that helps them effectively recognise and destroy target cells by concentrating and releasing their killing substances at the right place. This research is important because new cancer treatments are using these killer cells, and by understanding how they work, we can develop better therapies. Gillian Griffiths and her team focus on studying killer cells, specifically cytotoxic T lymphocytes. The lab has discovered new genes that are involved in the functioning of killer cells and aim to understand the role of each component within these cells. By studying killer cells lacking these new genes and using live imaging techniques, they can identify the differences and gain insights into how the cells function. Cell polarity in lymphocytes, such as cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), refers to the asymmetric organisation of cellular components that enables them to efficiently recognise and destroy target cells. This polarisation involves the precise concentration and secretion of cytolytic proteins at the immunological synapse, allowing CTLs to deliver a lethal hit directly to the target cell. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/cell-biological-mechanisms-regulating-vertebrate-neurogenesis ### Title: Cell biological mechanisms regulating vertebrate neurogenesis ### Page ID: 8657806 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Cell biological mechanisms regulating vertebrate neurogenesis The formation of the nervous system during embryonic development. and the process of making new brain cells is referred to as neurogenesis. Cells become specialised in a process called differentiation, where cells turn in to a specific type of cell and take on a particular function. The formation of the spinal cord provides insights into the important steps underlying brain development. By studying what is happening in these cells in the spinal cord, the Storey lab hope to understand more about the processes that are involved so they can be used in therapy for brain injuries and disease. The Storey lab focuses on understanding the formation of the nervous system during embryonic development. They investigate cellular differentiation, specifically the emergence of neurons and the mechanisms controlling their differentiation. The lab uses the spinal cord as a model system to study the sequential steps of its formation, including neural precursor cell division, cell shape changes, and the establishment of functional neural circuits. Techniques such as gene function manipulation, genome-wide analyses, and live imaging are employed to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neural differentiation and its implications for therapeutic interventions in neural injury and disease. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/imaging-cancer-invasion-and-therapy-failure ### Title: Imaging Cancer Invasion and Therapy Failure ### Page ID: 8657807 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Cancer therapy can sometimes fail because cancer cells are smart and adaptable. They can develop ways to resist the effects of the treatments, making them less effective. Additionally, cancer is a complex disease, and it can spread from the initial tumour to other parts of the body, making it harder to treat. This spreading, called metastasis, can happen even after the initial tumour has been removed or treated. Understanding why cancer treatments fail is important so that scientists can develop new strategies to overcome these challenges and improve patient outcomes. Sahai lab's goal is to discover patterns and signals that can be targeted to prevent cancer from spreading and improve treatment outcomes. Sahai lab's research focuses on understanding the deadliest aspects of cancer: its ability to spread throughout the body (metastasis) and develop resistance to treatments. By analysing patient data and using experimental models, they investigate the interactions between cancer cells and non-cancerous cells, identifying genetic and molecular changes that drive metastasis and treatment failure. The movement of cancer cells into tissue surrounding the tumour and the vasculature is the first step in the spread of metastatic cancers. Recent advances in imaging, the use of 3D model systems and the application of microarray technologies have yielded new insights into these processes. This work has challenged our views about what causes cancer cells to become motile in the first place and has demonstrated that cancer cells can move in many different ways. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/mobile-elements-polydactyl-proteins-and-the-making-of-human-specific-transcriptional-networks ### Title: Mobile elements, polydactyl proteins and the making of human-specific transcriptional networks ### Page ID: 8657808 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Mobile elements, polydactyl proteins and the making of human-specific transcriptional networks Scientists have discovered that a large portion of our genetic material, called mobile elements, can move around and potentially cause disruptions in our DNA, that holds all of our genetic information. To protect against these disruptions, our cells have developed mechanisms to control these elements during early development. One important mechanism involves proteins called KRAB-ZFPs, which recognise and interact with these elements and prevent them from causing harm. They are also involved in the transcriptional networks that shape the development and functioning of our bodies. Transcription refers to the process where sections of DNA are 'read' and copied so that genetic information can be used to make proteins. The Trono lab focuses on understanding a specific aspect of our genetic material called retroelements, which make up more than half of the human genome. These elements have the ability to move around and cause changes in genes, chromosomes, and genetic recombination. While these changes can be harmful, the lab investigates how our cells control these retroelements through epigenetic modifications during early development. The research explores the delicate balance between retroelements and our genetic control mechanisms and examines how they impact higher organisms, including humans, in both health and disease. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/genome-regulation-by-polycomb-proteins-between-epigenetic-inheritance-and-dynamic-gene-regulation ### Title: Genome regulation by Polycomb proteins, between epigenetic inheritance and dynamic gene regulation ### Page ID: 8657809 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Genome regulation by Polycomb proteins, between epigenetic inheritance and dynamic gene regulation Polycomb proteins are important for controlling how our genes work. Our genes are small sequences of DNA holding information that is required by our cells to make proteins. This process has to be tightly regulated to ensure that the correct proteins, at the correct time and quantity, are made. Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene activity that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence, influencing how our genes are "read" and potentially impacting our health and traits. Our traits refer to characteristics that are carried on form parent to child, such as blue eyes. These proteins have a unique role in balancing between these two aspects: stable inheritance of traits and flexible regulation of genes. These proteins can change the structure of DNA and proteins in our cells, creating specific patterns that can be passed down to new cells. They also help activate or turn off genes when needed, ensuring our bodies develop and function properly. Giacomo Cavalli's lab focuses on understanding how our genome is regulated by Polycomb proteins. These proteins play a crucial role in determining how genes are expressed and controlled in our cells. They are involved in shaping the 3D structure of the genome, which affects how genes interact with each other and how they are turned on or off. By studying model organisms like fruit flies and mammalian cells, the lab explores how genes are organised into specific regions called topologically associated domains (TADs), which form intricate connections to build complex 3D structures within our cells. This research is important because it helps us understand how our genetic information is inherited and regulated, and it has implications for various biological processes such as development, cellular differentiation, and the development of diseases like cancer. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/fancy-nucleases-that-cut-chromosome-instability-and-disease ### Title: FANcy nucleases that cut chromosome instability and disease ### Page ID: 8657810 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. FANcy nucleases that cut chromosome instability and disease DNA holds all of our genetic information, which is used to make proteins. Our cells need these proteins to function properly. When DNA gets injured, it can cause problems in our genetic material and therefore our proteins, affecting how our body functions. John Rouse and his team investigate the special proteins and mechanisms that help cells recognise and repair these damages. Understanding this process can help prevent genetic abnormalities and keep our DNA healthy, ensuring our bodies work properly. FAN1 is a special protein that helps cells fix problems in our DNA. When our DNA replication process gets stuck or blocked, FAN1 comes to the rescue. It acts like a repair tool, helping to untangle and fix the damaged DNA so that it can continue working properly. John Rouse's Research Group focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the detection, signalling, and repair of damaged DNA. They study how cells respond to situations where DNA replication or transcription is hindered by DNA lesions, which can lead to genomic instability and problems in gene expression. Their research has identified key proteins involved in DNA repair, such as SLX4 and FAN1, and investigates their roles in promoting DNA repair and maintaining genome stability. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/reading-and-writing-genomes-in-3d-the-ctcf-code-and-how-to-hack-it ### Title: Reading and Writing Genomes in 3D: The CTCF code and how to hack it ### Page ID: 8657811 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Principles of skin regeneration, repair and cancer by live imaging Stem cells are specialised cells that have the ability to turn into any type of cell. The environment in which they live is known as their niche. Understanding how these stem cells work and what happens when things go wrong can help us develop treatments for diseases. The lab uses a special part of our skin called the hair follicle to study these cells using advanced imaging techniques, allowing them to see how the cells behave and how the niche influences them. This research can also help us understand other tissues in our body and improve therapies for diseases, like cancer. Valentina Greco and colleagues study stem cells and their niches, both playing a crucial role in maintaining tissue health and regeneration. By understanding the mechanisms that regulate stem cells and how they can go wrong in disease states, the lab aims to uncover valuable knowledge that can contribute to the development of cures for various diseases. They utilise a unique mammalian stem cell niche found in the hair follicle of the skin and using advanced imaging techniques and genetic manipulation they observe and manipulate the niche components in real-time. As mentioned in the description, the Lab use the hair follicle to study stem cells and their niches, so we had this be the focal point of the illustration.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Stem cells possess the remarkable ability to self-renew and turn into different cell types with different functions. They are essential for development (e.g. different cell types are needed for different organ systems) and ensuring dead/unhealthy cells in adults are replaced with new cells. They have also been shown to play a part in diseases such as cancer. The specific path a stem cell takes to become a specialised cell is determined by its "cell fate." The Hochedlinger lab focuses on studying this decision-making process that decides whether a stem cell will renew itself or begin the specialisation journey. The Hochedlinger lab investigates the role of stem cells in normal development and disease. They study how stem cells have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into mature cells (also known as cell fate). Stem cells play crucial roles in various processes, including development, tissue maintenance in adults, and recovery from injuries. The lab is particularly interested in understanding the factors that control the decision-making process between self-renewal and differentiation in embryonic stem cells, both in healthy conditions and in the context of diseases like cancer. By identifying and characterising these factors, they aim to gain insights into stem cell biology and harness their potential for therapeutic applications. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/advertising-artwork ### Title: Advertising artwork ### Page ID: 8657814 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. This work was created for eLife, a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. The artwork created displays the process of distilling extensive complex scientific papers into easily readable understandable summaries for lay audiences. The scientific community relies heavily on technical language to describe complex concepts. However, this makes science inaccessible for lay audiences. Consequently, the challenge is to boil down complex jargon of scientific papers into plain language that most people understand. This distilled form of science communication for general audiences aims to convey science in a simple and clear way so that the majority of readers to learn something about the latest research results reported in journals, regardless of their background. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/extracting-research-information ### Title: Extracting research information ### Page ID: 8657841 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

With this issue, they highlighted recent advances in our understanding of mechanisms involved in ageing and interventions that can extend longevity. The sand timers were adapted to convey the illusion of time passing and cells ageing and it was important to us to emphasise the desire to extend the human life span. As we age our cells change in a variety of ways. They become larger and less efficient at dividing and replenishing lost and damaged cells, and the number of fatty substances and pigments found within cells also increases. Because of these changes, they lose their ability to function normally or may lost their function completely. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/an-introduction-to-pain-and-its-relation-to-nervous-system-disorders ### Title: An Introduction to Pain and its Relation to Nervous System Disorders ### Page ID: 8657847 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

This artwork visualises background noise in genetic sequencing, which refers to the unwanted signals or data that can interfere with the sequencing process and its analysis. Just as the motion blur obscures details in the illustration and makes it difficult to see a clear image, background noise can obscure important genetic information and make it challenging to identify specific genetic variations. Background noise can arise from environmental contaminants, errors in the sequencing process, or even from the genetic material itself.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. This illustration was created in collaboration with Dr Gemma Taylor, who is an epidemiologist and behavioural scientist. We wanted to visualise her main areas of interest, which include: understanding the association between smoking and mental health, identifying therapeutic targets that utilise epidemiological methods, and applying these to addiction interventions used in NHS psychological services. Her research has identified the link between stopping smoking and improved mental health. This sophisticated artwork displays the connection of smoking and mental health. The design's background shows multiple studies that have shown that smokers are more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. The focus is on the conversation of a smoker and a psychologist, with the smokers words depicted as wisps of smoke emanating from his mouth. The artwork cleverly represents the idea of "escaping dialogues" through smoking, with the smoke serving as a metaphor for the exchange of thoughts and ideas. At the same time, it highlights the potential harm of this coping mechanism and the importance of seeking professional help for addiction and mental health concerns. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/crick-late-neurons ### Title: Crick Late: Neurons ### Page ID: 8657858 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Naive Pluripotent stem cells can become any type of cell. During the formation of the embryo, different cells specialise and form different layers, which later determine which cells go on to become the embryo and which cells form the tissue outside the embryo (like the placenta). The Jacob Hanna lab investigates ways in which we can mimic these early developmental stages. They found that stem cells can not only form these initial layers but can actually organise themselves into real early embryo models. Stem cells grown in vitro can form populations of embryonic and extra-embryonic cells, which are found to have the ability to self-organise into 'synthetic' embryoid models. These have been used by the Jacob Hanna Lab to model early embryonic development and investigate embryonic stem cell biology, including how stem cells differentiate into organs. Their focus lies on cellular reprogramming and the development of human and mammalian stem cells. We wanted to highlight that the embryonic and extra-embryonic stem cell populations start off as a mixed group of semi-differentiated cells but later self-organise into embryoid models. We did this by using a simple left-right design, whereby the cells slowly start grouping together and forming embryonic layers. To initiate this process, the cells are rapidly spun around in a cylinder using an ex-utero culture device. To emphasise this aspect we decided to integrate the 'twirl' composition, whereby the cells look like they are swirling around as they self-organise. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/imaging-coordination-of-actin-assembly-in-tumorogenisis ### Title: Imaging coordination of actin assembly in tumorogenisis ### Page ID: 8657874 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Imaging coordination of actin assembly in tumorogenisis Cancer cells are known for their ability to grow and migrate and they possess several characteristics that make them experts in invasion. Actin is a family of proteins (like thin strands) that form the micro skeleton within cells. They can extend, retract and move, which, in turn, allows the whole cell to move and change shape - and essentially invade. The Parsons group have developed a new way to visualise cancer cells, making it easier to observe and investigate processes like this. The Parsons Group seeks to understand the underlying mechanisms of adhesion and migration in cancer cells and the role it plays in tumorigenesis. They investigate processes like actin assembly and cellular signalling. The team have developed a method of 3D modelling which allows them to take reproducible and high-resolution images of cancer cell spheroids. This technique makes it easier to visualise molecular details and may be used in the future to model more complex in vitro systems. We wanted to highlight the 3D imaging chamber method used by the research team, which allowed them to take high-quality, reproducible images of cancer cell spheroids. We used the symmetrical composition of the spheroids to suggest the appearance of an imaging chamber plate. To highlight the main research focus, the assembly of actin, and to suggest tumour growth, we had some of the spheroids protruding out of their chambers. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/being-a-good-neighbour-cell-cycle-metabolism-and-cell-fate-in-the-drosophila-testis ### Title: Being a Good Neighbour - Cell Cycle, Metabolism and Cell Fate in the Drosophila Testis ### Page ID: 8657875 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Being a Good Neighbour - Cell Cycle, Metabolism and Cell Fate in the Drosophila Testis Stem cells can differentiate into many different cell types with specialised functions. They are critical for tissue turnover and help ensure sure that tissues are replenished. Interestingly, stem cells are shown to interact with neighbouring cells – their so-called social life. To maintain their status as stem cells, they rely on support cells within their environment, also known as a niche, to provide them with necessary signals. Recent findings suggest that every stem cell is engaged in an ongoing battle with its neighbouring stem cells for access to these signals. A successful stem cell secures its position within the niche, while the unsuccessful cell is excluded and unable to generate any more stem cells. So, for stem cells to be effective in contributing to the development of tissues over a prolonged period, they must possess strong competitive abilities in occupying space within the niche.  In order to preserve a space in their niche, stem cells depend on the assistance of neighbouring support cells (which constitute their niche) to receive essential signals. Emerging evidence indicates that each stem cell engages in continuous competition with neighbouring stem cells to obtain access to these signals. The Amoyel Lab hopes to answer some of these fundamental questions of stem cell fate using genetics, live imaging and mathematical models. They use the fruit fly testis as their chosen model system, as they can easily identify the cells and their corresponding niche by looking at their location. By observing how the stem cells (specifically the somatic cyst stem cells that later become support cells for reproductive cells) behave over time, they hope to further their understanding of how stem cells compete for space in their niche.  The title 'Being a good neighbour' inspired us to create an illustration of a group of cells that were shown to communicate with each other through various signals. To emphasise the idea that these signals lead to changes in cell cycle, metabolism and cell fate, we show that the purple cell, receiving signals from the green cell, has started to bud, divide and change shape. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/imaging-spatio-temporal-mapk-signalling-dynamics-in-the-epithelium ### Title: Imaging spatio-temporal MAPK signalling dynamics in the epithelium ### Page ID: 8657876 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Imaging spatio-temporal MAPK signalling dynamics in the epithelium The MAPK pathway is a network of signals that transmits information from outside the cell to inside the cell, providing the cell's DNA with important information. These signals can cause the cell to, for example, turn into a specific type of cell, or divide. Under normal experimental conditions, it is difficult to investigate these processes over time and in space, but the Cellular Dynamics lab uses a variety of approaches to do just that. For example, they can use light to turn on specific networks and to control which cells are turned on and off at one specific time. The Cellular Dynamics lab investigates spatio-temporal signalling, involved in cell morphogenesis and cell fate decisions. These processes are dynamic and are closely regulated by time and space - something that is currently hard to replicate in research. However, the Cellular Dynamics lab has developed new techniques to address this limitation (like applying optogenetics), allowing them to study signalling networks involved in cell migration, neuronal differentiation and cell fate, such as the MAPK network, in more detail. We wanted to adapt a figure image from one of their papers, where they used optogenetics to activate the MAPK pathway in single cells. Only the cells that are green were 'turned on'. To highlight the initial extracellular signal involving receptors on the surface of the cells, we decided to add concentric circles around these proteins. These receptors are responsible for relaying the signal into the cell, hence the network and nodes represented within each cell. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/human-brain-chimeroids-as-avatars-to-study-inter-individual-variation-brain-development-and-disease ### Title: Human brain chimeroids as avatars to study inter-individual variation brain development and disease ### Page ID: 8657877 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Human brain chimeroids as avatars to study inter-individual variation brain development and disease Scientists have discovered that cells can form tiny, three-dimensional, functioning cell systems in the lab, known as organoids. They behave similarly to real organs, like the brain, and are therefore extremely useful in medical research. In this case, they allow scientists at the Arlotta Lab to observe human brain development in great detail, without needing a human patient. Some organoids are grown using several donor stem cells, which is why they are referred to as 'chimeroids'. This word originates from 'chimera', which in science refers to an organism that is made up of cells from two or more individuals. The Paula Arlotta lab investigates the molecular mechanisms that underly neuronal diversity in the cerebral cortex. They utilise in vitro 3D cerebral organoids to model complex human cortical development and pathology. Some organoids are termed 'chimeroids', as they are created using pluripotent stem cells from several donors, usually from individuals or patients with neuropsychiatric or neurodevelopmental conditions. Chimeroids allow them to observe how these individual differences play a role in the development of a neurological disease. We wanted to highlight that chimeroids refer to organoids, that have been created using stem cells from several donors, so we utilised contrasting colours to differentiate between cells of different individuals. We didn't want to overcomplicate it, so we only used two different colours. To further emphasise the aspect of inter-individual variation, we chose to include several versions of the chimeroid, with different coloured patterns. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/physics-of-morphogenesis ### Title: Physics of morphogenesis ### Page ID: 8657878 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Morphogenesis refers to the biological processes during embryological development that determine the shape and structure of organisms, and their organs, and organ systems. Cells and tissues become specialised to perform specific functions and are distributed throughout the body, according to their genetic ‘blueprint’ and environmental conditions. To understand how living systems are formed and how they develop their unique structure, Professor Stephan Grill and his colleagues use a physics approach to answer their questions. They study everything from tiny molecules to larger tissues and focus on how chemicals and mechanics work together to create patterns in living matter. They investigate how these so-called ‘morphogenetic’ forces are generated in molecules, surfaces, and volumes, and how these forces are controlled by upstream signals and cues.   The Stephen Grill group investigates the mechanisms that are involved in determining structure and form in living organisms on a molecular and tissue level, using a combination of physics, mechanics and chemistry to answer their questions. At the smallest scale, they look at how chemical energy in the form of ATP is used to drive active processes that can organise the inside of a cell. At larger scales of cells and tissues, they study how living matter can structure itself into any shape and form by looking at different ‘morphogenetic’ forces. For example, active surface tension generated by the outer layer of animal cells can lead to changes in cell shape, while active pressure, such as pressure caused by water entering the cell via osmosis, can reshape even entire embryos!   We wanted to emphasise the idea that these morphogenetic forces play an important role in changing the shape and structure of cells. The yellow and white lines represent these forces and are shown in different conformations relative to the structure of the cell to highlight this relationship. To add more depth to the background, we added silhouettes of cells changing shape and dividing. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/taking-it-up-and-notch-building-the-body-plan ### Title: Taking it up and notch: Building the body plan ### Page ID: 8657879 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Segmentation genes are important in the early stages of development because they determine the overall anatomy of the embryo. A key factor in segmentation is notch signalling, whereby cells are signalled to become specific types of cells (also called cell fate). It involves the activation of the Notch protein on the surface of the cells, which triggers a series of responses within the cell. This process is important for normal development and can be implicated in cancer when it goes wrong. Kim Dale and his colleagues are interested in the Notch pathway, and how it controls the formation of tissues and organs early on in development. Through studying somitogenesis, the process of forming tissue segments called somites, they have shown that the Notch pathway is a simple yet crucial mechanism, where ligands from one cell interact with receptors on another cell, and whereby the signals produced activate genes that regulate overall stem cell behaviour, cell fate and tissue formation. As the title mentions, the talk is centred around the formation of the 'body plan'. To emphasise that this occurs during early development, we chose to have an embryo be the centre of the image, with yellow to highlight the different body segments at this stage. The embryo is surrounded by multiple feedback loops to indicate the great number of overlapping and intertwined cell-cell signalling networks involved. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/your-get-a-methylation-and-you-get-a-methylation-and-everybody-gets-a-methylation ### Title: Your get a methylation, and you get a methylation and everybody gets a methylation ### Page ID: 8657880 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Your get a methylation, and you get a methylation and everybody gets a methylation The Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle or the TCA cycle, is a fundamental process that occurs within our cells to generate energy. It takes place in the mitochondria, often referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell. During the Krebs cycle, molecules derived from the breakdown of sugars go through a series of chemical reactions. These reactions transform the molecules into energy-rich compounds and release carbon dioxide as a byproduct. During one stage of the cycle, the compound fumarate is formed. If there is a mutation in the protein responsible for breaking it down, as a result of a mutation caused by disease, the compound can start to build up in the cell. This can cause changes to the RNA. RNA is the messenger for DNA that is required for the normal functioning of the cell and when this is altered, it can cause the disease to progress faster. Pedro J Batista and his colleagues investigate the importance and role of RNA in gene expression during both development and disease. Their primary focus revolves around determining the effect of RNA modifications on RNA function, understanding how the loss of the RNA modification m6A (involves methylation) impacts differentiation and gene regulation, and how these RNA modifications are interacting with metabolic pathways. Mutations in the enzymes involved in the Krebs cycle enzymes are known to drive specific cancer types, such as a loss of function of the fumarate hydratase enzyme in renal cell cancer. They found that the resulting accumulation of Fumarate in the Krebs cycle has a greater effect on the demethylases acting upon m6A than other RNA demethylases. These results suggest that the metabolic changes occurring in renal cancer affect different RNA modifications differently, which in turn may lead to changes in gene expression that could be beneficial to disease progression. As the research revolves around the Krebs cycle, we wanted it to be represented clearly in the poster, but to make it more interesting we visualised each stage as the molecule that is formed. When Fumarate (molecule bottom left) starts to accumulate, it acts on RNA demethylases, which in turn lead to RNA modifications. We wanted to clarify this interaction, so the elements that have been acted on by Fumarate are coloured in a lighter pink. To not distract from the main image, we decided to represent Fumarate as a silhouette. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/differential-affinity-of-somatic-cells-for-the-germline-controls-drosophila-oogenesis ### Title: Differential affinity of somatic cells for the germline controls Drosophila oogenesis ### Page ID: 8657881 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Differential affinity of somatic cells for the germline controls Drosophila oogenesis The development of tissues and organs in living organisms involves the coordinated interaction between different types of cells. Dr Classens and her team studied how this coordination happens during the formation of eggs in the fruit fly. Oogenesis is the process by which eggs (oocytes) are formed. During this process, the oocyte develops within a group of supporting cells called nurse cells, which provide nourishment to the growing egg before being removed. They are further surrounded by a layer of somatic cells that are specialised to either help the oocyte grow or aid in the removal of these nurse cells. They found that a specific gene called Eya controls how these cells coordinate these processes. Essentially, it helps cells organise themselves properly so that the right cells come into contact with each other to form the desired shapes, tissues and organs. Dr Classens and her team investigate how the epithelial tissues (e.g. skin, colon, lung) in our body serve as a barrier between the external and internal environments. They are particularly interested in how they interact and respond to challenges, like stress, injury and tumours, using drosophila as their model organism. Cooperative morphogenesis of cell lineages is what governs the development of organs and these barriers, and they found that the transcriptional regulator Eya, which is of somatic origin, controls the bilateral affinity between somatic and germline cells in Drosophila oogenesis. Using functional studies and mathematical modelling, they demonstrated that the varying affinity between different cell types and the forces it generates play a crucial role in redistributing somatic cells across the germline surface. These forces also control the growth of oocytes and ensure they are properly matched with their respective somatic cells. Egg chamber morphogenesis has three phases with distinct soma-germline matching dynamics, so we decided to represent these stages using the surrounding outlines to indicate different levels of Eya expression patterns, as affinity dynamics are based on measured Eya levels. The cells surrounding the egg chamber are coloured differently, depending on the type of cells. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/the-anne-mclaren-lecture-the-embryonic-and-adult-neural-stem-cells-what-underlies-their-difference ### Title: The Anne McLaren Lecture: the embryonic and adult neural stem cells: what underlies their difference? ### Page ID: 8657882 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. The Anne McLaren Lecture: the embryonic and adult neural stem cells: what underlies their difference? Embryonic neural stem cells are cells found in the developing brain that have the ability to give rise to various types of brain cells. Adult neural stem cells are similar cells found in the adult brain that can generate new neurons and support brain function. The Gotoh Lab in Tokyo is dedicated to investigating the mechanisms and logic underlying the regulation of neural stem-progenitor cell fate, both during embryonic brain development and in adulthood. They are currently focused on studying the genetic and epigenetic factors that influence neural stem-progenitor cell fate and the maturation of neurons. Additionally, they are exploring the genesis and maintenance of adult neural stem cells, and examining how these processes relate to neuro-developmental disorders. In the centre of the illustration, we placed a section of the adult mouse brain, which the Gotoh lab uses for their research. The yellow dots indicate where in the brain the neural stem/progenitor cells (that are expressing Notch/Hey1) are located - which is the subventricular zone. Above the brain, we wanted to show how the cells differentiate from embryonic neural stem/progenitor cells into adult neural stem cells. Cells that are rapidly recycling into more embryonic neural stem-progenitor cells that go on to build the brain are on the left, and stem cells that are differentiating slower are shown to become astrocytes and adult neural stem cells (on the right). The latter stem cells are linked to increased Notch/Hes1 expression. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/epithelial-cell-fate-transitions-an-oesophageal-tale ### Title: Epithelial cell fate transitions: an oesophageal tale ### Page ID: 8657883 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Epithelial cell fate transitions: an oesophageal tale Why do our own cells turn into immortal cancer cells? Epithelial cells are a type of cells that lines the surfaces of the body and are exposed to various external factors. This epithelial barrier needs to adapt for example when there is a wound. When the skin is cut, the wound healing process is able to make a lot of cells very quickly to aid healing. Cancer cells are able to copy this process and it causes them to proliferate at a high rate producing tumours. The process of wound healing is controlled whereas the process of producing a tumour is not. This research is important because it can help understand why various cancers occur and whether there is a more efficient method to stop them. This is vital for the future as 1 in 2 people will develop some type of cancer in their lifetime and oesophageal cancer remains one of the least explored types. Dr Maria Alcolea studies epithelial stem and progenitor cells, with a special focus on how normal homeostasis of squamous epithelial cells changes during stressful conditions, like following an injury or cancer mutations. She investigates both the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underly these changes and utilises the mouse oesophagus, as it provides a great blueprint for in vivo epithelial cell lineage tracing. We wanted to emphasise the process that occurs in wound healing or tumour development. To show this transformation, we decided to depict the normal epithelial cells on the left changing formation and proliferating towards the right. To highlight the new cells, we coloured them in purple. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/decoding-transcriptional-regulation ### Title: Decoding transcriptional regulation ### Page ID: 8657884 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Cells follow a central Dogma of molecular biology, which states that the cell's DNA makes RNA and then RNA makes proteins. Transcriptional regulation is the way the cell can control what genes are copied into RNA (in a process called transcription) and therefore, what proteins are made. To do this, they require several components, including so-called transcription factors, proteins that bind to DNA and either activate or deactivate sections of it. Regulating transcription is very important in all cells because it aids the cell in its response to different stimuli, allowing them to acquire different functions and structural components. Alexander Stark and his colleagues are interested in dissecting the mechanisms and components involved in transcription regulation. They use an interdisciplinary approach in the model organism Drosophila, to categorise regulation sequences, understand the different functional classes of transcription factors and cofactors and identify how different core promoters are activated depending on the requirements. This illustration depicts transcriptional regulation occurring in the form of a heat map which is one of the methods they use to depict transcriptional enhancer activity. In this image, the red is one of the elements (e.g. transcription factor) that is interacting with DNA (yellow). - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/single-cell-multi-omics-landscape-of-development-and-ageing ### Title: Single cell multi-omics landscape of development and ageing ### Page ID: 8657885 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Single cell multi-omics landscape of development and ageing Epigenetics refers to factors that change how the genetic information is read as a result of environmental and behavioural changes. Imagine you are reading a book and you spill water on the pages, so two pages are now stuck together - if you now had to miss out these pages, it would change the whole meaning of the chapter. Single cell multi omics analysis is a technique that allows scientists to study individual cells and their genetic, epigenetic, and protein characteristics simultaneously, providing detailed insights into development and ageing. Wolf Reik and his colleagues have used this experimental approach to look at various ways by which epigenetics is regulated and how changes to this regulation can impact an embryo during development. The Wolf Reik Lab focuses on understanding epigenetic gene regulation in mammalian development and ageing. Among other things, they investigate epigenetic reprogramming during fertilisation and explore the connection to zygotic genome activation in early embryos, which refers to the stage when transcription suddenly begins. They also study the degradation of the epigenome during ageing and potential strategies to slow down or reverse this process. New technologies for isolating and marking individual cells have changed our ability to study DNA, mRNA, and proteins at a single-cell level. Combining multiple omics analyses has provided a comprehensive view of cellular processes and single-cell multi-omics analysis has emerged as a powerful approach to investigate cell type-specific gene regulation. Using this approach, the Wolf Reik Lab have found that dynamic control of DNA methylation is linked to cell fate decisions in early embryogenesis. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/transcriptional-regulatory-mechanisms-in-hematopoietic-malignancies ### Title: Transcriptional Regulatory Mechanisms in Hematopoietic Malignancies ### Page ID: 8657886 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Transcriptional Regulatory Mechanisms in Hematopoietic Malignancies Hematologic malignancies are a type of cancer (e.g. leukemia and lymphoma) that begins in blood-forming tissue, such as the bone marrow, or in immune cells. Transcription is the process whereby genes (sections of DNA carrying information) are replicated into RNA, essentially the messenger for DNA, before being transformed into proteins. When transcription goes wrong, it can cause excessive, insufficient, or incorrect proteins to be made, which can interfere with the cell's function and lead to cancer. Roeder aims to understand how transcription of around 20,000 genes in the human genome is specifically regulated to ensure that the correct proteins are made to fulfil the needs of each specific cell. Roeder's research focuses on investigating the underlying mechanisms that play a role in this regulation, including transcription factors and epigenetic factors. Transcription factors are proteins that bind to DNA and can either turn genes on or off, depending on which proteins need to be produced. Epigenetic factors do not bind directly to DNA, but do affect how the DNA is read during transcription. Hematologic malignancies, such as leukemia and lymphoma, arise from blood-forming tissues and immune cells, and abnormal transcription regulation plays a crucial role in the formation of these cancers. Roeder's lab focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying this regulation, and the role that transcription factors and epigenetic factors play in the process. They have pioneered an experimental approach, whereby transcription is replicated within a test tube and where the genes and factors have been cloned from cells. The essence of transcription, including the structure, function and activity is then analysed using varying types of analysis. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/novel-mechanisms-of-neurogenesis-and-neural-repair ### Title: Novel mechanisms of neurogenesis and neural repair ### Page ID: 8657887 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Neurogenesis is the process by which brain cells, called neurons, are made. Unlike other organs in the body, most cells in the adult mammalian nervous system are not regenerated once they die. The lab aims to reactivate neurogenesis and promote brain repair by studying when and where neurogenesis occurs. Usually, once a cell has reached its final cell state and has taken on a specific function, it cannot turn into another cell. However, the Götz lab has pioneered the process of turning glial cells, the brain's immune cells, into brain cells in a process called reprogramming - imagine reprogramming a computer. This offers potential therapeutic approaches for brain repair. The lab's primary research objective is to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms underlying neurogenesis in both the developing and adult brain. While most cells in the adult mammalian nervous system, such as neurons and oligodendrocytes, are postmitotic and do not undergo turnover or regeneration, the lab aims to investigate the limited regions of persistent neurogenesis in the adult mammalian forebrain. By understanding the precise spatiotemporal regulation of neurogenesis, the lab pioneers innovative strategies, including direct glial cell reprogramming, to reactivate neurogenesis and explore its potential for therapeutic applications in brain repair. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/2012 ### Title: 2012 ### Page ID: 8657888 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Understanding cytokinesis through synthesis rewiring and in vitro reconstitution Cytokinesis is the process when a cell splits into two new cells. A lot of different components and steps are involved. Balasubramanian and his colleagues use techniques called synthesis rewiring and in vitro reconstitution to learn more about cytokinesis. In this case, synthesis rewiring means they are changing when individual components involved in cytokinesis are active and 'doing their part'. This allows them to see if each of the components need to be active at a specific point in time or if the order doesn't matter. In vitro reconstitution basically means they are recreating this process in a lab, so they can get rid of any outside factors that could interfere with the process. The Balasubramanian lab focuses on the study of cell division in different organisms. They aim to understand how cells physically divide into two and investigate the assembly, positioning, and tension generation of the actomyosin ring in *Schizosaccharomyces pombe*. It is known that the actomyosin ring components assemble at the medial cortex into node-like structures before forming a ring - this in an important step to ensure genome stability. The Mid1p protein is required for the assembly these nodes and recruits other proteins to the division site. By synthetically targeting these individual components, they found that their assembly does not have to occur in a specific order to get to the same division outcome. We wanted to visually illustrate the actomyosin ring during cytokinesis, including the individual components. The first node components that are recruited by Mid1p are indicated by the black receptor molecules at the centre line linked to the white circles. The free-floating and partly assembled black rectangular and white circle components are there to represent the other node components that assemble later on and in no particular order. We decided the cell was not enough to fill the page, so we completed the background with dividing cells that are either dividing correctly (100% transparent), incorrectly (dark) or not at all (50% opacity). - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/the-anne-mclaren-lecture-stem-cells-in-lung-maintenance-and-repair ### Title: The Anne McLaren Lecture: Stem cells in lung maintenance and repair ### Page ID: 8657901 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. The Anne McLaren Lecture: Stem cells in lung maintenance and repair Stem cells are special cells in our body that have the remarkable ability to turn into different types of cells. In the case of the lungs, stem cells play a crucial role in maintaining and repairing the lung tissue. When the lungs get damaged, these stem cells can divide and produce new healthy cells to replace the damaged ones. They help in the healing process and ensure that our lungs can function properly. The Hogan lab focuses on studying the cellular and genetic mechanisms of lung development, repair, and maintenance in mice. They investigate stem cells, signalling pathways, and genetic programs involved in lung growth and regeneration. Their research aims to address clinical challenges such as premature lung maturation, lung epithelium repair, fibrosis inhibition, and tumour growth prevention. To illustrate the lung tissue, we utilised reference photos, making sure to correctly depict the histology of the alveolar regions. The grey indicates the general tissue, the black dots indicate the nucleus of normal cells and the white dots indicate the nucleus of stem cells. As shown here, stem cells aid in the formation of new tissue, to repair the lung tissue that has been damaged. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/the-atomic-structure-of-the-apc-c2-implications-for-understanding-regulation-and-mechanism-of-protein-ubiquitination ### Title: The atomic structure of the APC/C2 implications for understanding regulation and mechanism of protein ubiquitination ### Page ID: 8657902 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. The atomic structure of the APC/C2 implications for understanding regulation and mechanism of protein ubiquitination The cell cycle is the process that cells go through to grow, divide, and create new cells. Each cell contains chromosomes. These structures carry genetic information that contain important instructions for the development and functioning of living organisms. During this cycle, the chromosomes must be separated and divided correctly so each new cell has the correct number. Errors in this process can lead to aneuploidy (too many or not enough chromosomes), which can cause cancer and other problems. APC/C2 is a structure that helps control different stages of the cell cycle and it acts as an "on" switch causing the chromosomes to separate during cell division. It does this via a process called protein ubiquitination - basically it marks specific proteins so they start to breakdown. David Barford's lab investigates the mechanisms and regulation of chromosome segregation during mitosis. By employing techniques such as cryo-electron microscopy and optical tweezers, they investigate the molecular and cellular structure of the kinetochore and its attachment to chromosomes and microtubules during cell division. APC/C2, also known as Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome 2 is a E3 ubiquitin ligase that plays a crucial role in regulating various stages of the cell cycle, for example by triggering the transition from metaphase to anaphase. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/stem-cells-in-the-brain-glial-identity-and-niches ### Title: Stem cells in the brain: Glial identity and Niches ### Page ID: 8657903 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Stem cells in the brain, specifically a type called adult neural stem cells, are a fascinating area of research. These stem cells are a subset of glial cells, which are commonly known as support cells in the brain. Surprisingly, it's been discovered that certain glial cells may have the ability to transform into stem cells in different brain regions. These stem cells reside in specialised areas called niches, where they receive signals and support for their growth and development. Scientists are studying these niches and the factors that control the behaviour of these stem cells, hoping to unlock their potential for brain repair and regeneration. Fiona Doetsch's lab focuses on studying adult neural stem cells in the adult mammalian brain to understand how they are regulated. These stem cells are a subset of glial cells and continuously produce new neurons that integrate into specific brain regions. They reside in specialised niches, responding to various signals for self-renewal and differentiation. Their research aims to uncover the molecular and cellular pathways underlying these processes, providing insights for future therapeutic approaches. The adult neuronal stem cells projected onto a cross-section of the brain are there to suggest their importance in brain development. They are shown to grow develop into different shapes and extend as if to suggest they are in the process of producing new neurons. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/coordinating-growth-and-tissue-organization-during-development ### Title: Coordinating growth and tissue organization during development ### Page ID: 8657904 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Coordinating growth and tissue organization during development Coordinating growth and tissue organisation is crucial during development to ensure that cells arrange themselves correctly and grow in a synchronised way. This makes sure that they form functional tissues and organs. Fat cadherins are large molecules that help cells stick together during these processes. They interact with another molecule called Dachsous to control how tissues grow and organise themselves. The Hippo pathway is a signalling pathway and it is involved in sending signals to cells to help control cell growth and cell death. The McNeill lab addresses the fundamental challenge of understanding tissue organisation and coordinated growth at the cellular level. Using genetic screens, advanced imaging, and biochemical analysis, they investigate the mechanisms underlying tissue development in various organisms, including the fly eye, wing, testes, and ovaries. A major focus is unravelling the role of Fat cadherins in growth control, planar cell polarity, and metabolism, particularly within the Hippo pathway. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/novel-modes-of-cellular-communication-from-specialised-ribosomes-to-signalling-filopodia ### Title: Novel Modes of cellular communication from specialised ribosomes to signalling filopodia ### Page ID: 8657905 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Novel Modes of cellular communication from specialised ribosomes to signalling filopodia Cells communicate with each other in different ways, and this communication is important because it allows cells to work together to carry out their functions as tissues and organs. Several processes are involved to make sure that this communication works well. All cells contain genetic material holding instructions that our cells need so they can make proteins. These proteins are important for cellular communication, for example by acting as signals. The instructions are stored in smaller subunits called genes. Genes are read and copied into a similar molecule called RNA, which serves as a messenger. Ribosomes, tiny cellular machines, read the RNA and use it as a blueprint to assemble these proteins. Further processes in the cell, such as the formation of filopodia (basically long arms that extend outwards) allow the proteins to travel from one cell to the other. Maria Barna's lab primarily investigates ribosome heterogeneity and its impact on protein synthesis and cellular communication. They use advanced techniques to quantify and characterise ribosomal subsets, revealing selective mRNA translation by specialised ribosomes and shedding light on gene regulation. They also study sonic hedgehog (SHH) movement across densely packed cells. They found that SHH particles are associated with specialised actin-based filopodia extensions, that enable the movement of SHH over long distances and facilitate interactions with specific co-receptors in target cells. These findings enhance our knowledge of different mechanisms of cellular communication, from gene regulation to protein transport, that enable our cells to develop and perform specific functions. We illustrated a group of cells forming a 'huddle' and communicating with each other through their filopodia. These extensions help proteins travel from one cell to the other and so included these proteins and presented them as dots. The central cell is shown to initiate this wave of communication (white dots) and the neighbouring cells have been painting in the same colour to suggest that this communication is travelling from one cell to the next. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/the-logic-and-origins-of-eukaryotic-cell-organisation-inside-out-or-outside-in ### Title: The logic and origins of Eukaryotic cell organisation: Inside-out or Outside-in ### Page ID: 8657906 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. The logic and origins of Eukaryotic cell organisation: Inside-out or Outside-in A eukaryotic cell is a type of cell that is found in plants, animals, and humans. There many theories that try to explain the reason for the cell's shape and how it was formed. The inside-out theory suggests that a long time ago, when life was just starting to evolve, there was a special kind of cell (ancient prokaryotic cell). Instead of having a nucleus inside the cell, this ancient cell had a nucleus-like structure on the outside. The nucleus is a very important part of a cell, often called the cell's "control center." It is like the brain, because it holds all the instructions that tell the cell how to function and what to do. This special structure connected with other small structures called proto-mitochondria. Proto-mitochondria are the early ancestors of mitochondria, which are small structures in cells that produce energy. Over time, this caused the cell to change and develop new parts - eventually it became the modern cells we have today. Buzz's lab focuses on studying the generation of biological form. They investigate how the shape and organisation of cells are determined by physical forces, biochemical processes, and information handling. To tackle this problem, they utilise various methods such as molecular biology, genetics, RNA interference screening, live cell imaging, micro-fabrication, biophysics, and computational modelling. Their research aims to enhance our understanding of eukaryotic cell shape evolution, cell form regulation, and their roles in tissue development and cancer metastasis. The illustration visualises the eukaryotic cell we know today. Their research focuses greatly on the inside out theory, so we used shading (light in the middle growing outwards) to suggest that the cell developed from the inside-out. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/imaging-heart-development-and-function-in-zebrafish ### Title: Imaging heart development and function in zebrafish ### Page ID: 8657907 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Imaging heart development and function in zebrafish By observing how other organisms grow, we can learn a lot about our own development. The Stainier lab look at heart development using Zebrafish, a type of fresh water fish, because they are great for research. For one thing, they have see-through embryos, which makes it easy to image and observe the development of internal organs. This allowed them to watch the zebrafish heart grow and observe how it functions. The Stainier lab focuses on studying the development of organs, particularly the heart, during metazoan development and evolution. They use zebrafish as a model organism as they offer several experimental advantages: external fertilisation, abundant offspring, and transparent embryos. Through genome-wide screens, they have discovered mutations that affect heart formation and function. They employ cellular and molecular biology, embryology, and genetics to analyse these mutations and understand the mechanisms underlying early cardiac morphogenesis. As the title suggests, the talk revolves around the development of the zebrafish heart. We were able to access figures that visualised the zebrafish heart, so we used these to illustrate the heart in as much detail as possible. We kept the lines in white and preserved the transparency of the 3D structure, to imply that the image had been taken from a microscope or imaging aid. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/transcriptional-regulation-during-developmental-transitions-a-view-from-3d ### Title: Transcriptional regulation during developmental transitions: a view from 3D ### Page ID: 8657908 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Transcriptional regulation during developmental transitions: a view from 3D During development, our body undergoes various changes, and genes need to be turned on or off at the right time and in the right place. A gene is a segment of DNA that contains the instructions for building and functioning of specific traits or characteristics in an organism.  Enhancers are like switches that control gene activity, so they can turn them on and off. They can interact with genes from far away and tell them when and where to be active. The Furlong group conducts research on the fundamental principles of genome regulation, particularly in relation to cell fate decisions during development. They investigate the organisational and functional properties of the genome, with a focus on the role of enhancers, which are regulatory elements that control gene expression patterns. They generated a high-resolution map of enhancer three-dimensional contacts during Drosophila embryogenesis, encompassing two developmental stages and tissue contexts. The map provided unprecedented resolution, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the spatial interactions between enhancers. The *Drosophila* embryo became the main focus of the illustration, as this is the model organism used. The chromatin can be seen inside the embryo, with white dots signifying the enhancers. We used alternating lines for the chromatin to give off the impression that is is located within a three-dimensional space. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/new-insights-into-aneuploidy-in-mammalian-oocytes ### Title: New insights into aneuploidy in mammalian oocytes ### Page ID: 8657909 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Aneuploidy in mammalian oocytes refers to a condition where the oocyte, which is a cell that develops into an egg, has an abnormal number of chromosomes. A chromosome is made up of DNA and proteins and it carries genetic information containing instructions that organisms need for grow and to function properly. Normally, oocytes should have a specific number of chromosomes, but in aneuploidy, there is either an extra chromosome or a missing chromosome. This can happen during the process of meiosis, which is the process where the chromosomes in the oocyte are divided. Aneuploidy in oocytes is important to understand, because it can lead to problems with pregnancy and the development of certain genetic disorders. The lab focuses on studying meiosis in mammalian oocytes, specifically examining the interface between chromosomes and cytoskeletal structures. They aim to understand how defects in this interaction lead to aneuploid eggs and pregnancy loss. The research is important for both fundamental understanding of meiosis and its medical implications, such as congenital disorders. The lab is also developing new tools to study meiosis and has made advancements in studying chromosome segregation errors in live human oocytes. Aneuploidy occurs during oocyte meiosis, during the chromosome segregation phase. We decided to illustrate this phase within the oocyte to emphasise its importance. The background is completed with other oocytes that are similarly going through meiosis. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/biological-insights-into-mutagenesis-through-modern-sequencing-technologies ### Title: Biological insights into mutagenesis through modern sequencing technologies ### Page ID: 8657910 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Biological insights into mutagenesis through modern sequencing technologies Modern sequencing technologies help us learn more about mutagenesis in cancer genomes. Our genome contains all the instructions, written in a special code called DNA, that tell our bodies how to grow and work. Mutagenesis is when changes happen in the DNA code, kind of like typos or mistakes. These changes (also called mutations) can sometimes affect how our bodies function and might even lead to diseases like cancer. Sequencing technologies allow scientists to read and understand the DNA code. The genome carries information about previous times where mutations have occurred and if they were repaired, how they were repaired. This provides scientists with a lot of information about DNA damage and repair in cancer cells. Serena Nik-Zainal's lab focuses on studying the genomic changes in cancer cells, specifically the mutational signatures that result from past mutagenic events. While driver mutations were previously the main focus, the lab also investigates passenger mutations, which provide biological insights into DNA damage and repair processes during tumourigenesis. They employ computational delineation and experimental validation of mutational signatures to develop algorithmic tools for clinical applications in understanding the causes and consequences of mutagenesis in cancer. DNA from one of the tumour cells (light pink) is being unravelled so it can be sequenced. To reference the computational technology, we decided to visualise the DNA in straight lines so it resembles a graph or sequencing programme. The white sections indicate the mutational signatures, with some being highlighted to show that they are the ones being investigated. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/generating-neuronal-diversity-stochastic-or-deterministic-choices ### Title: Generating neuronal diversity: stochastic or deterministic choices ### Page ID: 8657911 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Generating neuronal diversity: stochastic or deterministic choices Different types of choices are involved in the process of generating new brain cells (neurons). Claude Desplan's lab studies whether the process of generating these neurons involves random (stochastic) or fixed (deterministic) choices. Random choices would mean that the type of neuron that is created is determined by chance. It suggests that different neurons can have different characteristics or functions due to a random process during their development. However, fixed choices would mean that the type of neuron that is created is pre-determined and not random. It suggests that specific factors or instructions determine the characteristics or functions of neurons, leading to consistent and predictable outcomes. Claude Desplan's lab focuses on understanding how different types of neurons are generated in the optic lobes, which play a crucial role in Drosophila's visual function. They investigate the process of neuronal diversity and the factors involved in making stochastic and deterministic choices during development. By studying the genetic networks and temporal patterning of transcription factors, they have identified the mechanisms by which different neurons are formed and the factors that determine their fate and survival. They also explore how spatial transcription factors contribute to neuronal diversity. Their research helps to unravel the complex processes that generate diverse neural circuits. We wanted to show how different types of neurons are generated in the optic lobes in *Drosophila*. In order to not take away focus from the eye, we used black to illustrate an outline of the *Drosophila* head*.* We used different opacities and different sizes/shapes to represent the different types of neurons generated. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/the-anne-mclaren-lecture-cell-shape-and-morphogenesis-sub-cellular-and-supra-cellular-mechanisms ### Title: The Anne McLaren Lecture.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. The Anne McLaren Lecture. Cell shape and morphogenesis: sub cellular and supra-cellular mechanisms Cell shape and morphogenesis involve how cells acquire their specific shapes and structures during development. At the subcellular level, internal processes like rearrangement of structures and changes in the cell membrane, which is the outer layer of cell, contribute to shaping. Supra-cellular mechanisms involve coordination among groups of cells, such as aligning and rearranging themselves, responding to signals, and working together to generate forces that shape complex structures. This collaboration between cells is vital for proper development. The leptin group's research delves into the intricate subcellular and supra-cellular mechanisms governing cell shape and development. They explore the integration of forces exerted by individual cells to shape tissues, focusing on processes like invagination in *Drosophila* embryos, membrane synthesis and sorting in tracheal cells, and innate immune responses in macrophages and dendritic cells.  The model organism used by the Leptin lab is the *Drosophila* embryo. We show a cross-section of the embryo to be able to visualise the internal layers and organisation and shape of the cells. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/origins-and-consequences-of-epigenetic-variation-in-arabidopsis-thaliana-and-its-relatives ### Title: Origins and consequences of (epi)genetic variation in Arabidopsis thaliana and its relatives ### Page ID: 8657913 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Origins and consequences of (epi)genetic variation in Arabidopsis thaliana and its relatives *Arabidopsis thaliana* is a common plant used in labs to model how plants live and behave, because it has a a short life span, small amount of DNA and is easy to grow and maintain. DNA contains all the genetic information needed for an organism's growth, development, and functioning. DNA is used as a 'blueprint' by our cells - they read the instructions and use this to build proteins. Small changes in the DNA itself or changes to how the DNA is read can lead to differences in plant traits and characteristics. Epigenetic variations are changes in the way subsections of our DNA (genes) are expressed or "turned on" or "off" without altering the underlying DNA sequence. These variations can be influenced by factors like the environment and can have long-lasting effects on how our genes function, potentially impacting our health and development. The Weigel lab focuses on understanding the evolutionary processes of mutation, selection, and adaptation that give rise to new genetic variants. They employ advanced genome assembly methods to investigate how plant genomes and populations have changed over time in response to climate and pathogen pressures, and study the impact of microbial interactions on plant immune system genes. Their interdisciplinary approach combines genomics, bioinformatics, and laboratory/field experiments to unravel the complexities of genetic diversity and evolution, primary using *Arabidopsis thaliana* as a model organism. We decided to centre the *Arabidopsis thaliana* in the background as it is the model organism used, but have the genome be the centre point of the image. We represented the DNA at the level of histones, as this is where the epigenetic changes occur. The DNA originates from the roots of the plant to emphasise that the plant is built on genetic instructions. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/stem-cell-dynamics-during-development-homeostasis-and-cancer ### Title: Stem cell dynamics during development, homeostasis & cancer ### Page ID: 8657914 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Stem cell dynamics during development, homeostasis & cancer Stem cells are like the building blocks of our body. They have the incredible ability to develop into any type of cell and help create all the tissues and organs as we grow. During development, they make sure our tissues and organs form properly. In everyday life, they continue to work by keeping our body in balance- the scientific word for this is homeostasis. Whenever tissues are damaged or injured, stem cells are responsible for replacing the damaged or depleted cells. When stem cell division is not regulated properly, they can start dividing and multiplying uncontrollably, leading to the formation of a tumour (cancer). The Blanplain lab focuses on studying stem cells and their role in tissue development, maintenance, and regeneration. Stem cells possess the unique ability to self-renew and differentiate into various cell types within their respective tissues. The lab utilises a multidisciplinary approach to identify and investigate stem cells in different tissues (e.g. skin epidermis) during development, homeostasis, and repair. One of their findings concluded that basal cell carcinomas arise from long-lived stem cells of the interfollicular epidermis and infundibulum and not from hair follicle stem cells as previously thought. Although the Blanpain lab look at lots of different tissues, they focus primarily on the skin epidermis, so we decided to draw a section of skin during homeostasis. The cells in black represent the outer root sheath, whereas the white cells represent the cells of the sebaceous gland. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/mechanisms-of-centriole-assembly ### Title: Mechanisms of centriole assembly ### Page ID: 8657915 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Centrioles are typically found in a specific region of the cell called the centrosome. They help organise cellular components and play a crucial role in cell division, whereby one cell becomes two. They act as anchors for cellular structures and help distribute the genetic material during division, so each cell gets the same amount. These genetic instructions are responsible for an organism's growth, development, and functioning.  Centriole assembly refers to the process by which new centrioles are formed. Centrioles are tiny cylindrical structures and are shaped like a wheel with nine arms. Each of these nine arms are made up of 3 microtubules, which are long, hollow rods. Pierre Gonczy's lab have discovered that a protein called SAS-6 plays a key role in organising these arms. Pierre Gonczy's lab is interested in unravelling the fundamental cellular processes, with a particular focus on development. Their primary research involves studying *C. elegans* and human cells, although they also explore other systems when appropriate. Their main area of investigation revolves around understanding the mechanisms governing asymmetric division and centriole assembly. They found that a protein called SAS-6 forms rod-shaped homodimers that interact via their N-terminal domains to form oligomers, which enables centriole assembly. Additionally, they constructed a model of a related protein, Bld12p, revealing how nine pairs assemble into a ring with extending rods, resembling the central hub of the cartwheel. These findings provide insights into the structural basis for the universal 9-fold symmetry of centrioles. To show the initial assembly of the centrioles, we illustrated all components coming together to from the first 'layer', including the microtubules (white) and the SAS-6 homodimers (black). - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/the-relationship-between-chromosome-structure-and-gene-activity-during-x-inactivation ### Title: The relationship between chromosome structure and gene activity during X inactivation ### Page ID: 8657916 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. The relationship between chromosome structure and gene activity during X inactivation The sex chromosomes are a pair of chromosomes that determine an individual's biological sex. In humans, the sex chromosomes are typically referred to as X and Y, with females having two X chromosomes (XX) and males having one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The X chromosome carries many genes that are important for various biological functions. Genes contain the instructions that an organism requires to function properly and grow. During X inactivation, one of the X chromosomes in female cells is silenced to make sure that males and females are using the same number of genes. The inactive X chromosome folds in a specific way so that most of the genes are hidden and cant be used. The Heard group conducts research on epigenetic processes, specifically X-chromosome inactivation, to gain insights into fundamental mechanisms of gene regulation. They investigate the impact of chromatin modifications, chromosome organisation, and non-coding RNAs on gene expression during development and in disease contexts. Their goal is to uncover the intricate workings of these factors and their contributions to gene regulation. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/gene-regulation-from-a-distance ### Title: Gene regulation from a distance ### Page ID: 8657917 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. DNA is a molecule found in all living organisms. It carries the genetic instructions that determine the traits and characteristics of an organism. Genes are segments of DNA that contain the instructions for making specific proteins - imagine an instruction manual. Gene regulation involves a set of processes that determine whether a gene is "switched on" or "switched off". When we say a gene is "switched on," it means that the gene is active and producing its corresponding protein. This protein can carry out its specific functions within the cell. On the other hand, when a gene is "switched off," it means that the gene is not active, and it is not producing its protein. Wendy Bickmore and her colleagues study how the three-dimensional folding of the genome affects gene regulation and its role in normal development and disease. They investigate the the elements involved in gene regulation. Distant regulatory elements, known as enhancers, play a crucial role in spatial and temporal regulation of genes. These enhancers can be located far away from the genes they regulate, even up to millions of base pairs. Mutations or sequence changes in these enhancers can disrupt their ability to interact with target genes, leading to improper gene expression and potential disease. With our illustration we wanted to highlight the importance of enhancers (distant regulators) in regulating gene expression. We visualised the process using a quarter cross section of a cell. Inside the cell, the chromatin is widely distributed and the enhancers, together with the genes they regulate, are indicated in white, with a line connecting them to highlight the distance between them. mRNA, the outcome of gene expression, is shown leaving the cell through pores. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/evolution-of-cell-cell-adhesion-and-new-insight-into-mechanisms-in-animals ### Title: Evolution of Cell-Cell Adhesion, and New Insight into Mechanisms in Animals ### Page ID: 8657918 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Evolution of Cell-Cell Adhesion, and New Insight into Mechanisms in Animals Cell-cell adhesion is a process where cells stick together, so that they can form tissues and organs. They can do this with the help of special structures and molecules located on the cell's surface. These structures, like junctions and molecules, create strong bonds between cells, helping them maintain their shape and work together efficiently. The Nelson lab's research focuses on understanding how cells interact to organise complex tissues and how different plasma membrane domains are formed for specific tissue functions. The classical cadherin/β-catenin/α-catenin complex (CCC) is a key player in the cell-cell adhesion. The CCC facilitates mechanical coupling between neighbouring cells through trans- interactions between cadherins on adjacent cells, while also connecting to the actin cytoskeleton underneath. Their findings suggest that the core CCC components originated before the last common ancestor of unikonts, but some are shown to have evolved more complex abilities over time. One example is α-catenin, which has gained more complex control of the actin cytoskeleton. The CCC complex is an important area of research for the Nelson lab, so we wanted this to be the centre point of the illustration. Cells are represented as filled white cells at 50% opacity, which are linked via surface molecules shown in black. The internal network, resembling a taxonomic diagram, suggests the evolution of the CCC components over time, while also representing its internal connections to cytoskeletal elements. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/a-protein-phosphatase-1-protein-phosphatase-2a-relay-controls-mitotic-progression ### Title: A Protein phosphatase 1 / protein phosphatase 2A relay controls mitotic progression ### Page ID: 8657919 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. A Protein phosphatase 1 / protein phosphatase 2A relay controls mitotic progression Protein phosphatase 1 and protein phosphatase 2A are important molecules that help regulate mitosis, a process whereby one cell divides to become two. They act like relay switches, sending signals that determine when cells should start dividing and when they should stop. These phosphatases work by removing certain chemical tags called phosphate groups from other proteins, which affects their activity. By controlling the addition and removal of these phosphate groups, they help make sure that cells go through mitosis at the right time and in the right way. The Hagan lab focuses on understanding the control mechanisms of cell division, specifically the decisions to enter and exit mitosis. They use yeast as a model system to study fundamental principles and molecular details of cell cycle controls. Their research explores the role of the centrosome in promoting mitotic commitment and exit, as well as the properties and regulation of protein phosphatases involved in driving cells out of division. We decided to illustrate a cell undergoing mitosis, using a simple circular arrow diagram to show the stages. The white arrow suggests that cell division has temporarily stopped (or is re-starting). The protein relay system circles this diagram to indicate its importance in controlling mitotic transitions. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/self-organisation-of-genetic-oscillators-during-mouse-mesoderm-development ### Title: Self-organisation of genetic oscillators during mouse mesoderm development ### Page ID: 8657920 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Self-organisation of genetic oscillators during mouse mesoderm development The mesoderm is one of the first structures formed during early embryonic development. It gives rise to various important tissues, including muscles, bones, blood vessels, and the urogenital system, playing a vital role in shaping the body's structure. During mouse mesoderm development, various genetic oscillators, like internal clocks, are responsible for regulating the timing and pattern formation in the developing mesoderm. They work together to organise themselves properly and create a synchronised sequence of events, much like an orchestra playing in harmony. Understanding how these genetic oscillators self-organise helps us comprehend the intricate process of embryo development and how different parts of the body take shape at the right time and place. The Aulehla lab focuses on the temporal aspect of embryonic development and the role of genetic oscillators in patterning. They investigate how time is measured and controlled during embryonic development, the signals that regulate timing, and how embryonic oscillators are involved in patterning. The lab uses novel methodologies, such as real-time reporter mouse lines generated using knock-in technology, to visualise and quantify temporal dynamics in mouse embryonic development. They specifically study the somite segmentation clock and its impact on signaling pathways in the developing mesoderm. They have also developed an ex vivo assay to study mesoderm patterning in a simplified culture system. Alexander Aulehla's lab uses the mouse embryo as their model organism, so this was made the centre point of the image. We represented the genetic oscillators as an oscillating line curving around the embryo, with black and white coloured curves indicating the two deviations from the baseline intensity of the oscillations. The somites, important structures formed from the mesoderm, are shown as black lines. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/growth-and-size-regulation-in-development-and-disease ### Title: Growth and size regulation in development and disease ### Page ID: 8657921 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Growth and size regulation in development and disease Understanding how organisms control their size is important for normal development and diseases like cancer. Researchers have identified specific pathways that regulate tissue and organ growth. Disruption of these pathways can lead to uncontrolled growth and tumour formation. Metastasis, the spread of cancer cells, involves genetic changes that promote invasion and movement. The Xu lab found that similar molecular processes are used in both normal development and cancer invasion. Targeting these processes may help develop treatments for metastasis. The Xu lab employs model organisms to elucidate the genetic basis of tumour growth and metastasis. Their research employs forward genetics, utilising Drosophila for genome-wide screens to identify genes involved in metastasis. They investigate apicobasal polarity mutations in conjunction with oncogenic Ras mutations, activating JNK signalling and suppressing the E-cadherin/β-catenin adhesion complex. Their work also explores the shared invasion machinery and matrix metalloproteinase expression, crucial for both developmental and tumour invasion processes. We decided to show the difference between normal development and disease (cancer) by comparing the growth of the *Drosophila* eye, the model organism used in Tian Xu's research. The right eye has grown out of control (cancer), whereas the left eye has developed normally. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/microtubules-need-actins-help-in-large-oocytes-to-collect-chromosomes-and-to-break-the-nuclear-envelope ### Title: Microtubules need actin's help in large oocytes, to collect chromosomes and to break the nuclear envelope ### Page ID: 8657922 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Microtubules need actin's help in large oocytes, to collect chromosomes and to break the nuclear envelope An oocyte is a special egg cell in a female's body that can turn into an embryo. It contains important instructions called DNA, which tell the body how to grow and work. These instructions are organised into chromosomes. When the oocyte is ready, it goes through a process called meiosis, where it divides and grows to get ready for fertilisation. If it meets a sperm cell from a male, it can become an embryo. During this process, the cell's internal scaffolding called the cytoskeleton plays an important role. It is made up of tiny hollow tubes called microtubules and special building block molecules called actin proteins. Microtubules act like highways, helping important materials move around inside the cell and keeping the cell's shape intact. Actin proteins form long strands that help the cell move, keep its shape, and do different tasks in the body. To make sure the genetic instructions are passed down correctly, the cell needs to break a protective wall called the nuclear envelope that surrounds the nucleus. Once the wall is broken, the chromosomes, which hold the DNA, need to be gathered together so the final egg cell is ready for the baby and has all the required genetic information. Microtubules and actin work together to perform these tasks. Peter Lenart's lab investigates oocyte meiosis, a unique form of cell division, that requires specialised adaptations of the cytoskeleton to support the extreme geometry of these large cells. Unlike in small somatic cells, where microtubules play a dominant role, their research has shown that in oocytes, the actin cytoskeleton takes over crucial functions. Actin forms a network that transports chromosomes to the forming spindle and regulates spindle assembly. By studying marine model species like starfish oocytes, they aim to uncover the conservation and diversity of these meiosis-specific mechanisms, shedding light on fundamental principles of cellular organisation and the origins of life. We wanted to highlight the idea that the cytoskeleton acts as an internal scaffold and a 'highway' to transport important molecules, and chromosomes throughout the cell. To do this, we used dark lines to illustrate a network, web-like structure, that fills the cell and surrounds the nucleus. As they are also involved in collecting the chromosomes, we included these in white underneath the network. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/immune-regulation-and-vertebrate-regeneration ### Title: Immune regulation and vertebrate regeneration ### Page ID: 8657923 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Immune cells, such as macrophages, are important for our bodies to fight off infection. Macrophages are like the "clean-up crew" of our body, as they surround and eat up harmful bacteria. However, for some animals, like the salamander, macrophages also play a role in regrowing body parts. The lab found that when macrophages stopped working, the regrowth failed, resulting in scars. Restoring macrophages enabled successful regrowth. Understanding how this occurs and the mechanisms involved may help scientists develop new ways to heal and regenerate damaged body parts, like the heart. The lab led by Nadia Rosenthal investigates the interplay between immune cells and tissue regeneration. In adult mammals, the inability to replace damaged body parts is due to limited growth response and scarring. There are certain species like the salamander that have the ability to regrow certain body parts, but the signals, genes and mechanisms involved are not greatly understood. They studied immune signalling during limb regeneration in salamanders and discovered that macrophage infiltration at specific times is crucial for successful regeneration. Disrupting this process led to permanent failure, fibrosis, and abnormal gene expression. Restoring macrophages enabled limb regeneration, suggesting potential therapeutic approaches for regenerative medicine, such as regeneration of the cardiac tissue. We wanted to emphasise that macrophage infiltration at specific times is crucial for successful regeneration of body parts. The thin layer of cells represents the tissue and the macrophages (round cells) are shown to aid tissue regeneration in the damaged areas, highlighted in white for clarity. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/mechanisms-of-cellular-programming-and-reprogramming ### Title: Mechanisms of cellular programming and reprogramming ### Page ID: 8657924 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Mechanisms of cellular programming and reprogramming Cellular programming and reprogramming means changing one type of cell into another. Imagine cells like little workers in our body, and they have special proteins called transcription factors that can make them switch jobs, by turning specific genes on and off. When a cell turns into another cell, some of the genes will be 'hidden' as they were not needed to perform the function of that cell. When the cell 'changes jobs', it might need to access these 'hidden' genes. Some transcription factors, called pioneer factors, can access these genes. They can "pave the way" for other transcription factors, by opening up closed or hidden parts of our DNA and making certain genes more accessible to them. Ken Zaret and his colleagues study the mechanisms underlying cellular programming and reprogramming, with a focus on a subset of eukaryotic transcription factors that possess the remarkable ability to induce cell fate changes. These transcription factors, crucial for embryonic development, can activate genes that are developmentally silenced and located in "closed" chromatin regions covered by nucleosomes. Special transcription factors, called pioneer factors, are capable of engaging their target sites on nucleosomal DNA and thus activating genes that were originally 'hidden'. We wanted to emphasise the idea that specific genes are turned on and off depending on the cell and its specialised function. To highlight the complexity of this, we decided to show different cells with different genetic combinations in a grid like structure. Some cells are coloured in a darker colour to indicate that they have been reprogrammed to another cell type. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/self-regulatory-mechanism-of-multicellular-systems-tissue-self-organisation-and-scaling ### Title: Self-regulatory mechanism of multicellular systems: tissue self-organisation and scaling ### Page ID: 8657925 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Self-regulatory mechanism of multicellular systems: tissue self-organisation and scaling Our knowledge of how organs develop is still limited, but studies have shown that complex tissues can form by themselves in the lab from stem cells. Stem cells are special cells in our bodies that have the ability to develop into different types of cells and help repair and regenerate damaged tissues. This formation process is called self-organisation and it happens when a group of cells work together to create a structure or organ. For this to occur, cells must talk to each other and exchange signals to coordinate their actions. They also have to stick to each other in different ways so they can create specific patterns and arrange themselves in a specific order, like puzzle pieces fitting together, to form the tissue. By following these processes, cells can work together and create complex organs that function properly. Yoshiki Sasai and his team developed a method to enable and encourage human embryonic stem cells to form brain cortex, eyes (optic cups), and other organs in tissue culture. They demonstrated that the formation of intricate tissues, such as the optic cup, can occur through self-organisation in vitro using a homogeneous population of stem cells. This self-organisation process relies on three essential processes that play a critical role in the emergence of structure. These processes involve cell-cell communication, differential cell adhesion, and spatial patterning mechanisms, all working together to orchestrate the development and organisation of the tissue and organ. We wanted to represent a tissue that was undergoing self-organisation and scaling, as this was the primary takeaway from the title. The cells towards the sides are shown to scale out and up, which gives off the impression that the tissue is dipping in the centre. Together with the defined lines of different cell types (grey and white at 50% opacity), we wanted to show that self-organisation is important in creating complex shapes and patterns. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/bending-the-not-so-simple-mind-of-the-fruit-fly ### Title: Bending the not so simple mind of the fruit fly ### Page ID: 8657926 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Dopamine is a chemical in our brain that helps us feel good and motivated. It is released when we do things that make us happy or excited. This makes us want to do those things again in the future. Dopamine is like a messenger in our brain that tells us when something is rewarding or enjoyable and it helps us learn and make decisions based on what feels good. The lab led by Scott Waddell found that the fruit fly has a similar reward system to humans. Observing how the fruit flies behave to reward can tell us a lot about how the reward system works in humans. The lab led by Scott Waddell has discovered that the neural reward system in fruit flies is more similar to that of mammals than previously known. Just like humans, fruit flies can form memories of prior experience. Their research reveals that dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with reward and motivation in mammals, plays a similar role in food-rewarded behaviour in fruit flies, highlighting the evolutionary conservation of neural mechanisms. By temporally controlling neural function, the researchers implanted positive scent-related memories in fruit flies' brains by directly activating octopamine or dopamine-releasing neurons, without the need for sugar rewards.  To highlight the 'not so simple mind' of the fruit fly, we illustrated the complex neuronal circuitry within the brain, olfactory areas and limbs. We wanted to indicate towards the fruit fly being able to make choices based on prior experience of reward or punishment. Therefore, the fruit fly is shown to actively choose between several alternative pathways. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/the-genetic-landscape-of-a-cell ### Title: The genetic landscape of a cell ### Page ID: 8657927 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Scientists have created a map of *Saccharomyces cerevisiae*, a type of yeast cell, to show how genes interact with each other. They studied 5.4 million pairs of genes to understand how they work together. Genes with similar functions group together and form pathways that define their roles. This map helps us understand how cells function and can be used to find new targets for medicines. Boone's lab, in collaboration with Dr. Brenda Andrews' lab, have developed a technology called a Synthetic Genetic Array analysis. This cutting-edge technology allows for the simultaneous integration of multiple genetic elements within a single cell (they utilise the yeast cell *Saccharomyces cerevisiae*). By conducting genome-wide screens of genetic interactions, they identify crucial gene combinations that regulate essential cellular functions. Using precise measurements of colony size, their robust methodology accurately evaluates both negative and positive genetic interactions. This research provides valuable insights into the organisation of cellular functions and its implications for understanding and addressing human diseases. To emphasise the idea of the 'genetic map', we decided to overlay a circuit on to the an illustration of the yeast cell. The circuit outlining the shape of the budding cell is there to indicate that the cell is organised into functional subunits, but that different biological process interact with each other at any given time. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/organising-microtubule-nucleation-complexes ### Title: Organising microtubule nucleation complexes ### Page ID: 8657928 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Microtubule nucleation complexes are groups of proteins that play an important role in forming microtubules, which are long, hollow structures within our cells that help with various cellular processes. Microtubules are like roads that help carry things around in our cells, and they are also involved in cellular division, which is where one cell divides and becomes two. These nucleation complexes are organised around a central core (like an apple core), which acts as a scaffold. This initial scaffold allows other proteins to bind to it, gradually forming longer microtubules. Imagine adding more and more beads to a necklace and wrapping the necklace around a hollow cyclinder. They are usually found in specific parts of the cell, like the centrosome, where microtubules are organised. The Sawin Lab investigates cellular organisation in two main areas: the regulation of cell polarity and the molecular mechanisms behind microtubule nucleation. Microtubule nucleation complexes are organised around the γ-tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC), which serves as the core scaffold for microtubule assembly. γ-TuRC recruits additional proteins, such as the γ-tubulin complex-associated proteins (GCPs), to form a functional complex. These complexes are often localised to specific cellular structures, such as the centrosome, where they contribute to the nucleation and organisation of microtubules. We wanted to show microtubules expanding and organising themselves from the initial nucleation complex. To make it more dynamic and interesting we wanted to microtubules to appear to be growing towards us, with smaller protein components floating around, waiting to be added to the growing structure. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/controlling-gene-expression-fluctuations-during-development ### Title: Controlling gene expression fluctuations during development ### Page ID: 8657929 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Controlling gene expression fluctuations during development During our growth and development, our bodies need to make important decisions at different times. Genes are like instructions that tell our cells what to do. Sometimes, these instructions can change or vary, and this is called gene expression fluctuation. To control these fluctuations, our cells have developed clever mechanisms. One such mechanism involves the use of tiny molecules called microRNAs. MicroRNAs can act like "dimmer switches" for genes, helping to regulate whether they are turned on or off. MicroRNAs ensure that the right genes are expressed at the right time and in the right amounts, leading to proper development and growth. Gene expression fluctuations during development are controlled through the use of gene networks and regulatory mechanisms. The lab, led by the Van Oudenaarden group, employs experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches to study decision-making in single cells, focusing on developmental and stem cell biology. They investigate how cells utilise these gene networks to make robust decisions despite fluctuations in gene expression. Furthermore, they study the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in repressing gene expression and stabilising it during stress and developmental transitions. The lab aims to understand how miRNAs establish thresholds in gene expression and mediate feedback and feedforward loops in gene networks. The genes that are silenced are indicated by the black circles while the genes that are expressed are in white. To show the complexity and variability and hint towards the computational methods used to analyse gene expression, we decided to show 3 cells at different developmental stages, with different combinations of genes being expressed or silenced in each. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/the-anne-mclaren-lecture-reprogramming-and-cellular-dominance ### Title: The Anne McLaren Lecture: Reprogramming and cellular dominance ### Page ID: 8657930 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. The Anne McLaren Lecture: Reprogramming and cellular dominance Organisms require cells with different functions in order to survive and be healthy. Stem cells are special cells that have the ability of becoming any type of cell and once they become that cell, they usually remain that way - unless they become reprogrammed. Reprogramming refers to the ability of cells to change their specialised functions - It's like giving a cell a new job. Some stem cells have the ability of transforming other specialised cells back into a neutral state, where they are now able to take on a new function. Imagine the neutral state as them being unemployed. In this case, cellular dominance refers to the stem cell's heightened (dominant) ability to transform specific types of cells over other types. Amanda Fischer's research focuses on understanding how cells become specialised and how their cellular identity changes during differentiation and cell division. She also studies the effect of environmental exposures during embryogenesis can impact the developing epigenome and thus influence the overall health of the offspring as well as the generations to come. She also looks at how cellular (re)programming is regulated through gene expression and the role of transcription factors and epigenetic regulators in this process. We wanted to emphasise the idea of reprogramming; that any one cell can turn into another cell with a different function. One cell for example (in white), as we have shown in our illustration, has the ability of becoming or switching to any type of white blood cell (cells at 50% opacity). We presented all the cells in a hexagonal grid, so it is easy to see the quantity of each type. This is important, as the title also refers to cellular dominance, which is the idea that some cell types and formed more frequently than others (ie are more dominant). - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/mechanisms-of-wnt-signal-transduction ### Title: Mechanisms of Wnt signal transduction ### Page ID: 8657931 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Wnt signal transduction is like a complicated dance that happens on the surface of our cells. "Wnt" is a special type of protein that acts as a signal, like a messenger, to tell the cells what to do. The word "transduction" means the process of passing or relaying signals. So, in this dance, the Wnt proteins are sending signals to the cells, and the cells have special proteins called receptors, that receive these signals and start a chain reaction inside the cells. It's like the cells are getting instructions on how to act and what to do next. In general WNT signalling is important for the proper development and maintenance of tissues and organs in the body. When it doesn't function properly, it can have significant implications for human health, making it an important area of scientific research and potential therapies. Niehrs and his team wanted to understand the complexity of WNT signalling. The WNT ligand binds to a receptor, such as one belonging to the Frizzled family, which activates a change within the cell. There are now over 15 receptors and co-receptors belonging to seven protein families that interact with the 19 WNT proteins. This creates an intricate network of interactions, forming higher-order complexes that transmit signals inside cells. Signal transduction is regulated through processes such as phosphorylation, proteolytic processing, and endocytosis. Currently the Niehrs group focuses on studying DNA demethylation mechanisms, using mouse and Xenopus embryos and mouse embryonic stem cells as models. Here we have illustrated WNT signalling with each of its components. The WNT ligand is represented by the u-shaped structure, which is shown to bind to the receptor, the undulating structure in the cellular membrane (similar to the Frizzled family). All cellular components that are located within the cell we drew in white, to better distinguish from the components outside the cell outlined in black. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/spatial-and-temporal-regulation-of-the-dna-damage-response ### Title: Spatial and temporal regulation of the DNA damage response ### Page ID: 8657932 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Spatial and temporal regulation of the DNA damage response Spatial and temporal regulation of the DNA damage response refers to how our cells manage and coordinate their response when DNA is damaged. Think of it like a well-organised team working together to repair a problem. Spatial regulation means that specific proteins and molecules involved in DNA repair are brought to the damaged site, ensuring that they are in the right place at the right time. Temporal regulation means that the response is carefully timed, with different steps occurring in a specific order to efficiently repair the DNA. This regulation is important because it protects our genetic material. Our genetic information refers to the instructions stored in our DNA that determine the characteristics of living organisms (like blue or brown eyes). When these instructions become damaged, it can lead to diseases like cancer. The Lukas group investigates the assembly of proteins responsible for protecting the human genome and how they form functional pathways. They study how these proteins arrange themselves within the three-dimensional space of the cell nucleus and how they interact with cellular metabolism and the external environment over time to protect DNA from mutations that can lead to diseases. Their goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of genome maintenance by exploring not only how DNA repair mechanisms function but also what safeguards prevent DNA damage from occurring and what limits exist for the mechanisms that preserve intact genomes throughout cell generations. We wanted to focus on the DNA damage response and visualise how it is regulated. We decided to illustrate a strand of DNA that is shown to be damaged and distorted, and that is being repaired by a regulatory protein. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/covert-communication-in-insects ### Title: Covert communication in insects ### Page ID: 8657933 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. In Professor Richard Benton's lab, scientists study how insects use their sense of smell to interact with the world around them. Smell works when odour molecules enter our nose and bind to special proteins, called receptors. These receptors send signals to our brain, allowing us to perceive and recognise different smells. They investigate the tiny genes and nerve cells that allow insects to detect different scents. By understanding these mechanisms, they hope to uncover the secrets of how insects perceive smells and how this influences their behaviour. Their research also helps in finding new ways to control insects that spread diseases or damage crops by using smells that affect their behaviour. Richard Benton's lab focuses on studying the structure, function, and evolutionary aspects of nervous systems, particularly the olfactory system. They primarily use the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model organism due to its relatively simple yet sophisticated nervous system, which allows for comprehensive experimentation. Their research incorporates various disciplines such as bioinformatics, genetics, molecular and cellular biology, electrophysiology, optical imaging, and behavioural analysis. The lab aims to gain fundamental insights into the development, and plasticity of nervous systems. Additionally, their work has practical implications in designing new chemical sensors and devising strategies to control the behaviours of disease-carrying insects and agricultural pests using odor-based cues. We wanted to keep it simple and focus on the model organism at hand. It helps the reader to visualise the tiny insect and better understand its relevance to the research discussed.  - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/the-anne-mclaren-lecture-emergence-of-global-planar-polarity-patterns-during-growth-of-the-wing ### Title: The Anne McLaren Lecture: Emergence of global planar polarity patterns during growth of the wing ### Page ID: 8657934 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. The Anne McLaren Lecture: Emergence of global planar polarity patterns during growth of the wing How do wings grow? Suzanne Eaton's lab studied how patterns emerge during wing growth, like the arrangement of cells and structures. By using advanced techniques to observe and analyse wing development, they uncovered the basic rules that control tissue organisation. Global planar polarity refers to the coordinated arrangement of cells and structures in a tissue, such as the direction of hairs or veins on a wing, which contribute to its proper development and function. This research contributes to our knowledge of how living organisms grow and repair themselves, and it helps us understand the fascinating process of wing formation. Suzanne Eaton's lab focused on investigating the mechanisms underlying tissue development and morphogenesis, particularly the emergence of global planar polarity patterns during wing growth. Through the utilisation of genetic and imaging techniques, the lab explored the interplay between cellular signalling pathways, cytoskeletal dynamics, and tissue mechanics. By elucidating the molecular and biomechanical basis of planar polarity, they aimed to uncover fundamental principles governing tissue organisation and contribute to our understanding of embryonic development and regeneration. As the research focuses on wing growth, we decided to keep it simple and create an illustration of the wings, ensuring the structure was identical on each side, to emphasis the need for patterns. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/unlocking-the-secrets-of-scarless-healing-and-appendage-regeneration ### Title: Unlocking the secrets of scarless wound healing and appendage regeneration ### Page ID: 8657935 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Gene punctuation in eukaryotes: Roles of R-loops, gene loops and co-transcriptional cleavage in controlling transcriptio When our bodies make important instructions for doing different tasks, like building things or fighting germs, they use a special code called DNA. R-loops, gene loops, and co-transcriptional cleavage are like special helpers that control how these instructions are read and used. R-loops are like traffic signals that can either help the instructions get used or stop them. Gene loops are like hands that bring important parts of the instructions closer together. Co-transcriptional cleavage is like scissors that cut the instructions at certain places. By understanding these processes, researchers hope to learn more about how our cells work and how they can be influenced by certain diseases. The laboratory of Nick Proudfoot studies gene punctuation in eukaryotes, with a focus on the roles of R-loops, gene loops, and co-transcriptional cleavage in controlling transcription. R-loops, formed when one DNA strand displaces the other and forms a loop, can either promote or suppress gene expression by affecting the accessibility of DNA. Gene loops, which involve physical interactions between different parts of a gene, facilitate the regulation of gene expression by bringing enhancer elements closer to the gene promoter region, enabling efficient regulatory protein interactions. Co-transcriptional cleavage, the process of cutting RNA during transcription, plays a role in controlling gene expression by influencing RNA processing and determining the fate of the synthesized RNA molecule. By investigating these molecular processes at the DNA and RNA levels, the lab aims to uncover the intricate mechanisms that regulate gene expression and understand how they impact various cellular functions. To indicate that these loops and factors impact transcription, we chose to present this process visually, showing DNA, mRNA and RNA polymerase. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/the-anne-mclaren-lecture-lipoproteins-and-signalling-lipids-in-the-hedgehog-pathway ### Title: The Anne McLaren Lecture: Lipoproteins and signalling lipids in the Hedgehog pathway ### Page ID: 8657938 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain. Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. The Anne McLaren Lecture: Lipoproteins and signalling lipids in the Hedgehog pathway There is s a special pathway called the Hedgehog pathway, which helps cells communicate with each other through signals. The lab was interested in how this pathway is connected to tiny particles called lipoproteins and special molecules called sterols. Lipoproteins help carry different types of fats, including cholesterol, through our bloodstream. They are like little vehicles that transport these fats to the places where they are needed in our cells. Lipoproteins have a special structure consisting of proteins and fats that allow them to move around in our body and deliver fats to the right places. Sterols are a type of molecule that are found in our bodies and in many other living organisms. Cholesterol is a well-known example of a sterol. These molecules are essential for the proper functioning of our cells. They play important roles in various processes, such as building the structure of cell membranes and helping with the production of certain hormones. The lab led by Suzanne Eaton investigated the Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway and its association with lipoproteins and sterol metabolism. They study the cellular functions of Patched, a protein involved in Hh signalling, and explore how specific pathways deliver sterols, which are important molecules for cellular processes. By combining the fields of intracellular sterol trafficking and Hh studies, they aim to gain a more advanced understanding of the Hh signal transduction pathway and the cell biology of sterol metabolism. - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Shop](/shop "Shop") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") - [About](/about "About") - [Portfolio](/full-portfolio "Portfolio") - [Services](/services "Services") - [Pricing](/pricing "Pricing") - [Shop](https://www.boutiquescience.com "Shop") - [Blog](/blogs "Blog") - [Careers](/careers "Careers") - [Contact Us](/contact-us "Contact Us") --- ## URL: https://www.vividbiology.com/artwork-in-depth ### Title: Artwork in depth ### Page ID: 8657939 ### Content: Vivid Biology ltd is on pause until 2028 whilst Claudia is living in Madrid, Spain.

That’s when you decide to take an ibuprofen or paracetamol tablet... 20 minutes later you already forgot you were feeling unwell. That's the power of pharmaceuticals.  Today their capabilities extend far beyond simple pain elimination, but rather allows patients to rapidly fight-off infections and diseases, as well as live normally despite of suffering from lifelong medical conditions. For example, chemotherapeutic drugs and enzyme blockers for HIV enabled us to suppress the development of cancers or AIDS, while antibiotics like penicillin help to fight amongst others ear and skin infections. It is estimated that roughly 75% of humans would not be alive as they would have already succumbed to a bacterial infection, without the use of the antibiotic penicillin alone.  You are stressed and suddenly you feel a dull, aching head pain.

Even though there are hundreds of cell types in the body, all of them can be grouped into just four main categories, or tissues. This makes them easier to understand.  Epithelial cells cover over the interior of hollow organs, like blood vessels or digestive organs, or else form the surface of things, like the skin. Without epithelial cells, you would have no skin to protect your body from injury and would have no stomach to digest your food! Epithelial cells can form an impenetrable barrier which will keep other cells out to prevent infections.  Nerve cells are specialized for communication. They send signals from the brain to muscles and glands that control their functions. They also receive sensory information from the skin, the eyes, and the ears, and send this information to the brain. There are dozens of varieties of nerve cells in the body, each with their own shapes and functions.  Muscle cells are specialized for contraction. They pull and tug on bones and tendons to produce motion. They also form the thick outer walls of hollow organs, like blood vessels and digestive organs, and contract to regulate the diameter of these hollow organs.  Connective tissue cells are specialized fibrous tissue cells found in a variety of body parts, including skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. They provide structural strength to the body, defend against foreign invaders like bacteria and support growth of other cells. There are over 200 different cell types in the human body.

Rhinovirus, the tiny troublemaker responsible for that pesky common cold, is always lurking around, ready to make our noses run and throats tickle. This mischievous little virus loves to spread from person to person, especially when we least expect it. With its incredible ability to hitch a ride on droplets in the air or on contaminated surfaces, Rhinovirus can easily find its way into our bodies through our eyes, nose, or mouth. Once inside, it quickly sets up camp in our respiratory system, causing those familiar cold symptoms we all know too well. But don't be fooled by its small size! Rhinovirus may be tiny, but it's mighty in numbers. There are over 100 different strains of Rhinovirus, making it a challenge for our immune system to keep up. That's why the common cold can be so stubborn, hanging around for days or even weeks.

Claudia is still taking on design work as a freelancer. Proteins are the basic building blocks of life, and secondary protein structures are an important part of their structure. Secondary protein structures are formed when the peptide bonds between amino acids twist and fold into specific shapes. The most common of these shapes are the alpha helix and the beta pleated sheet. Alpha helices are made up of amino acids that form a spiral structure, while beta pleated sheets are made up of amino acids that form a flat, accordion-like structure. Both structures are held in place by hydrogen bonds, which form between atoms in the protein chain.   The secondary structure of a protein is important for its function and stability. Not only does it create a specific shape, but it also helps the protein interact with other molecules in the cell. It also helps protect the protein from denaturation, which can occur due to changes in pH or temperature. The tertiary structure of a protein is the complete three-dimensional shape of the entire protein and is determined by the folding of the secondary structures. It is also affected by the size of the amino acids, as smaller amino acids can fit into tighter spaces compared to larger ones. The quaternary structure of a protein refers to a combination of two or more proteins. This type of structure is important for certain proteins such as enzymes, as it allows them to bind to their substrates more effectively.
