I just took a look t googles newest project, the body browser.
Its a human Body you can search for organs, veins, bones and so on.
You can switch on or of bones, nerves, organs, or change theri transparency, it is really interessting.

I had to think at our own projects, and if it wouldnt be a good idea to bring all of the outcomes together in a visual library in form of a cell, body etc. to make a search more easy, and to eductate the newly interested, children, and so on, or simply catch the attention of people which havent heard of the whole thing.
Use it to give popularity to the whole subject.

What do you think?

I look at images...for example at the MSN search engine are images...print in "images of the brain" or images of an illnesses,like "images of bipolor"...or "videos of bipolor"

You tube has numerious mini-videos also.

Brain Maps
MRI's

One possible way to do that is to use MRI scans of a human, who has scanned all his parts - legs, hands, abdomen, head, face, thorax (which will be expensive), then to collect photos and videos of cells microscopy and electronic microscopy (which may be hard or expensive - if You want to be legal, You have to have legal permissions to use these photos for Your project) and use a GNU or another free 3D visualisation medical tool (which are many) and a gnu or free image and movie viewer (which are many). If You are a software programmer it would be possible (even easy) to write down a small software for allowing a person to select an organ or a part of the human body from a picture, then to select to view the organ or the cell, and then to start the free 3D medical viewer to build the projection of the part of the model human or the free image and movie viewer to view the electronic microscopic photos of cells (which may happen with a command line directives).

I think youre talking about something that is a lot like the transparent layers of various body parts that they put in encyclopedias. They did something like this in the Sci Fi move "The Cell". Then I think it was a few years later that I heard they did this this for science by solidifying people some how, slicing them up really thinly and putting them in a file or Rolodex of sorts or something like that.

Anyways, one thing that would make sense to me for us based on what your saying here would be a series of transparencies of a single or group of cells that show the 7 known forms of aging damage.

Im sure we could think of many, can you list others? Who would/could make these though? Could you look around? You might get lucky in freelancer. Im not sure how you would search for somebody who knows how to do something like that but I wouldnt be surprised if you could. If you find a person that can do it, let us know, we can discuss it further from there.

I use a scanned and recognized as pdf human anatomy book. With Adobe Acrobat Reader, You can search the anatomy book with a keyword. I think, that such a strategy can be used for something simmilar.

Im not sure what you mean. But using Adobe Acrobat Reader or something else do you think that you could make 7 nice pictures of cells showing the 7 different forms of aging damage? Pictures would be great, transparencies would be interesting.
