This multipart animation series explores the process of photosynthesis and the structures that carry it out.

This animation shows how mutations in an ion channel protein lead to the genetic disease cystic fibrosis. The animation also discusses how research on this protein has been used to develop treatments for the disease.

This short video explores how the symbiotic relationship between certain plants and fungi allows these organisms to survive in very hot temperatures.

This video follows scientists studying the seeds that brown spider monkeys disperse in a tropical forest of Colombia in order to inform and improve reforestation efforts.

This animation illustrates the main stages of the water cycle in Gorongosa National Park, an ecosystem that experiences both wet and dry seasons.

This animation describes how skin color is generated by skin cells as protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

This film explores the genetic and archaeological evidence that suggest that corn is the result of the domestication of a wild Mexican grass called teosinte.

This film explores how gene duplications and mutations have led to remarkable physiological adaptations in Antarctic fish.

This animation shows how HIV infects a cell and replicates itself using reverse transcriptase.

This animation shows how zebrafish can rapidly heal wounds to the heart.

This animation shows how a genetically modified virus can be used to destroy cancer cells.

This animation shows how proteins in the cell are tagged for disposal by ubiquitin and then degraded by the proteasome.
