Inside the Cell
- This educational booklet about cell biology speaks directly to readers by vividly describing the processes occurring within their bodies. It also shrinks readers down to 0.5 micrometers so they can explore the cell and its organelles close-up. The booklet features cutting-edge cell biology research and techniques. It includes review questions at the end of each chapter and a glossary. (Publication No. 05-1051, 80 pages) (National Institute of General Medical Sciences)

3-D Brain Maturation Video
- A time-lapse 3-D movie that compresses 15 years of human brain maturation, ages 5 to 20, into seconds. It shows gray matter — the working tissue of the brain's cortex — diminishing in a back-to-front wave, likely reflecting the pruning of unused neuronal connections during the teen years.
