Engage with the molecular world of the cell like never before. These virtual reality (VR) experiences, developed as a part of the InnerSpace: World in a Cell project allow, you to visualize complex biological processes from inside the cell itself. Whether you are reviewing for a molecular biology course or furthering your understanding of insulin regulation, these immersive tools are designed to support your learning.

Step inside a 3D model of a Pancreatic Beta Cell to explore organelles and molecular structures in their functional context.

Follow the journey of insulin from gene to secretion in the Pancreatic Beta Cell using a subway map inspired pathway. This VR experience highlights three key moments along the pathway: G-protein coupled receptor activation, insulin crystallization, and insulin release.
