TED Fellow Janet Iwasa made this molecular animation of clathrin-mediated endocytosis, a process by which molecules are pinched off from the cell's plasma membrane and are imported into a cell. This invagination technique is used as a form of communication to maintain health, satisfy a cell's needs, and occasionally, it is exploited by viruses.

Clathrin is shown in shades of yellow, the cellular membrane in pink.

Janet Iwasa is a research assistant professor in the biochemistry department at the University of Utah. Her broad goal is to create accurate and compelling molecular and cellular visualizations that will support research, learning and scientific communication.

This video was created in collaboration with Tomas Kirchhausen at Harvard Medical School.
