The Living Cell Lab
Step inside the cell. Restore it. Then explore the Cellverse.
Two ways to explore the living cell. Restore an empty cell one organelle at a time until every system is online, or enter the Cellverse to act out each organelle's function and follow the protein's journey.
An Impossible Journey
You are a newly made protein. Follow the complete journey from your gene in the nucleus through transcription, translation, folding, transport, and delivery. Explore every organelle, solve biological challenges, and save the cell in a final mission. A full 9-chapter interactive adventure through the living cell.

Inside the Nucleus
You shrink to molecular scale and drift through a nuclear pore into the nucleus — the command centre of the cell. Here, coiled DNA holds the complete instructions for every protein the cell will ever produce.
