About Cancer Assassin 插圖

這位藝術家試圖創造一幅生動的肖像，描繪自然殺手T細胞的死亡控制力克服癌細胞的防禦力，紀念人類渴望的瞬間。細胞毒性天然殺傷性T細胞是一種癌症刺客，能誘導癌細胞經歷程序性細胞死亡，稱為凋亡。天然殺傷性T細胞識別癌細胞表面上稱為抗原的特定位點，與抗原結合併釋放生化蛋白，這些蛋白在癌細胞膜上形成孔並特異性地誘導癌細胞破壞。

Unique Properties: People fighting cancer often want to know how to visualize fighting back. This is one visualization capturing the moment of cancer cell death, and the victory of the body's natural immune defenses, Natural Killer T cells. An entire branch of medical research focuses on amplifying and strengthening Natural Killer T cells' effectiveness.
Dimensions & Packaging: 17.5" x 12", 350 dpi, tiff
Tags: medical illustration, biomedical artist, visual science, pharmaceutical advertising, biotechnology advertising
Production Technology: Created using Cinema 4D, a 3D modeling program, and Photoshop, on a Mac.
Design Challenge: The artist sought to create a portrait of the simple but dramatic moment the death grip of the Killer T cell overcomes the cancer cell's defenses.
Research: The artist researched the morphology of Killer T cells, cancer cells, and Killer T cells and cancer cells in a death struggle, by studying electron micrographs and written research. She then created 3D models of a Killer T cell, cancer cell, fracture explosion, and cell debris using Cinema 4D, on a Mac. The rest of the digital painting was completed by hand work of drawing and painting in Photoshop using a stylus and tablet, on a Mac.
Inspiration: The artist is a certified medical illustrator working in the advertising and marketing of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Self promotional work created for clients, and prospective clients, is a chance to promote the artist's creativity, artistry and storytelling skills in visual science.
Project Duration: The project was in development for two weeks at the artist's studio in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, USA.
Operation Flow: This work depicts a frozen moment in time, memorializing a moment humanity desires.
