Science is Art

The molecular landscape depicting VEGF signaling. Blood plasma is shown in tan at the upper left. VEGF is depicted as the small red shape sitting in the VEGF receptor (shown in yellow).  The adherens junction between two cells is in green at left, with the cytoplasmic proteins in turquoise. The nuclear pore is at the center in green and the nucleus is at the right, with proteins shown in blues and purples.
