Chan School of Public Health. Other panelists included Harvard Professor Frank Sacks and BWH's Paula Johnson.

To understand how molecular motors work, some researchers are creating animations. Here, each “leg” of a molecular motor called dynein moves as it progresses along a cellular structure called a microtubule. New data suggest that dynein’s walk is even stranger than the one modeled. View its movement in action (below).
