We all know Sally: She is our daughter, our sister, our friend -- her health in the balance. In that moment, we're all looking for a solution, some hope. This 60-second spot begins and ends in Sally's hospital room. It takes us back in time to see the many people who contributed to the discovery, development, and approval of lifesaving medicine. Directed by Steve Dorst.

Learn how to set up and solve a genetic problem involving multiple alleles using ABO blood types as an example! The Amoeba Sisters walk you through the different phenotypes/genotypes of ABO blood types and how to solve these problems using a Punnett square.

Cancer cells are hungry. To feed their rapid growth and division, their metabolism changes. Moreover, they use sugar (glucose) in a different way to normal cells. This animation, created by Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, explores the key aspects of the altered metabolism in cancer cells and explains how these can be exploited for the development of new anticancer strategies.
