Celldance Video Selections Offer Artful Look At the Secret Lives of Cells

The American Society for Cell Biology invited three labs to "tell their own cell story."

Today, at the annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB), the organization will premiere three new videos created by ASCB member labs with the theme of "Tell Your Own Cell Story." This is a yearly thing, in which Celldance Studios, aka the ASCB's public information arm, awards small grants to a selection of labs to create films showcasing their research in artful and creative waves.
