This unique DVD takes us on a journey through the basic unit of life: the cell. Using the earliest drawings and exciting imagery taken with today’s microscopes, renowned biologists and young scientists explain their research and share their discoveries. Learn how cells were discovered, how they function, how they relate to health and disease, and what the future holds.

The CNRS Images and Veronique Kleiner team worked for more than a year with Christian Sardet, research director at CNRS, to release their first thematic multimedia DVD of its kind: Exploring the Living Cell. This trilingual DVD (French, English and German) is ideal for curious minds and experts. Many internationally renowned experts have contributed to this DVD such as Michel Bornens, Michael Duchen, Werner W. Franke, Goran Hermeren, Eric Karsenti, Paul Nurse (Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine winner of 2001), Kai Simons, and many more. The DVD has been positively reviewed and was the subject of a December 2007 editorial in Nature Cell Biology.
