Macular Hole: Staging and Surgical Treatment

Illustration explaining stages in macular hole formation in the fovea and surgical treatment by peeling the internal limiting membrane during a vitrectomy procedure. Figure 1 and surgical instruments were first created in ZBrush or Cinema 4D, followed by painting in Photoshop. Designed to be a fold-out page in a scientific or medical journal. Created during the Ophthalmological Illustration course in the Medical and Biological Illustration graduate program at Johns Hopkins University

The Inner and Middle Ear (stills)

Still images from a turntable movie (click here) of the inner and middle ear sculpted using ZBrush, based on MRM (magnetic resonance microscopy) data. The anatomy of the inner and middle ear is presented with a particular focus on the nerves of the area. The MRM data (a series of TIFF images) was prepared in OsiriX and a 3D surface was exported to OBJ format for sculpting in ZBrush. Data

3D Instruments

A retractor, scalpel, and electrocautery instrument modeled and rendered in Cinema 4D. Created during the Medical and Biological Illustration graduate program at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Blood Cells

Red blood cells and a white blood cell modeled and rendered in Cinema 4D. Created during the Medical and Biological Illustration graduate program at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Immunotherapy to Fight Cancer

Immune checkpoint blocking therapies, or ICBs, help fight cancer by inhibiting the down-regulation of effector T cell activity. Here, two CD8+ T cells (in blue) approach a cancer cell (in brown), while ICB antibodies flow in from the upper right to block interaction between PD-1 and PDL-1. Peptide fragments (in red) are being presented by the cancer cell on its surface in HLA-I (Human Leukocyte Antigen) molecules, which make up
