Cell membrane lipid bilayer, artwork F007 / 1475
Phospholipid bilayer. Computer artwork of the phospholipid bilayer that forms the membrane around all living cells. The cell membrane is made of phospholipid molecules. The molecules line up in two sheets, with the hydrophilic tails projecting inward and their polar head groups projecting outwards. The hydrophilic surface on both sides of the membrane, is the point of contact for molecules leaving or entering the cell. The lipid content of the membrane allows the cell membrane to automatically repair itself when it is torn

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a cell membrane lipid bilayer, depicted through computer artwork. Serving as the protective barrier surrounding all living cells, this phospholipid bilayer is composed of phospholipid molecules that align in two sheets. The hydrophilic tails face inward, while their polar head groups project outward. The hydrophilic surface on both sides of the membrane acts as a point of contact for molecules entering or leaving the cell, facilitating essential processes such as transport and communication. Remarkably, thanks to its lipid content, this membrane possesses an innate ability to self-repair when torn. Set against a striking black background, this illustration delves into the intricacies of biology and research within medicine. It highlights key elements including ions, proteins, plasma membranes, and polypeptide chains – all fundamental components contributing to cellular structure and function. With its detailed depiction and emphasis on healthcare applications in microbiology and cytology fields, this artwork serves as an invaluable resource for medical professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of cell membranes. Created by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY with precision and expertise in mind, it offers a visually stunning representation that captures both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal.
