Introducing, the League of Extraordinary Celltypes. This project has been in the works for over two years, and we are so excited to finally release it.
Here, at Endosymbiont, we like to explore new themes that inspire us and new ways to make complex science understandable. Finding inspiration in the fascinating world of biology and medicine, we have been busy preparing an artistic ode to the marvels of human cellular diversity.
Every two weeks, we illustrate a new human cell type and pair it with a short story about its function. The goal? To inspire the reader, educate and celebrate the scientific teams standing behind the research of the human body.
Dr. Radhika Patnala created this series to highlight many of the diverse and sometimes niche, not-so-well-known, but equally fascinating cell types that exist in our body and make it work! Here is where the whole project begins. You can follow the League of Extraordinary Celltypes at Medium and on all of our social media. We publish new pieces bi-weekly on Thursdays.
This project has been a deep collaboration of scientists, and artists, and writers focusing on depicting the complex world of human cell types. The following team members were involved in the project:
