Cellular Infrastructure

Ever wonder what makes an oval-shaped cell oval? And why does a cell deform into a circular blob right before it lyses? Oh, and what about flagella and cilia? How do they work? Turns out, the answer to all those questions is: microtubules. These super useful cellular structures have many functions, including both infrastructure (aka, shape of the cell) and mobility. Our microtubule necklace is an ode to this super useful and versatile polymer. Buy it for yourself or give it as a gift. It’s perfect for cell biologists, biochemists, microbiologists, and flagellum fanatics.
