medical illustration of Membrane Attack Complexes (MAC) form as a result of complement activation, assembling on the surface of plasma membranes. These molecular complexes assume a twisted cylindrical shape punching pores through cell membranes. The formation of MAC molecular complexes is most often targeted to pathogens. This 2D/3D image shows the lysis of bacteria caused by the unregulated free flow of molecules in and out of the plasma membrane through MAC pores.
Next medical illustration of This highly conceptual 3D illustration was created for an investigational amyloidosis drug. The client wanted to dramatically show the presence of abnormal amyloid peptide molecules and blast cells in the bone marrow of amyloidosis patients.
