A film about scientists. Professor Stephen Curry interviews six different scientists to find how how they got interested and what drives them in their life and work.
NK cell proteins are essential to detecting the diseased cells like cancers. Here they organise into a ring within which 'killing' granules are delivered to the diseased cell. Narration by Dr Alice Brown, movie compiled by Warwick Bromley.
Research from Imperial College London has uncovered the mechanism that helps yeast cells attach to human cells, often causing unpleasant fungal infections. This new information could lead scientists to develop new anti-fungal medicines
