    COVID Vaccine Animation goes Viral!

    By Michael Astrachan

    The Vaccine Makers Project, a program of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (VEC@CHOP) and Medical History Pictures (MHP) partnered up again with XVIVO to help develop two new animations, this time about how COVID-19 vaccines work. With the monumental task of helping people understand new information about COVID-19, we were honored and thrilled to put our passion for communicating science into these animation projects.
  • An illustration of teeth with visible biofilm highlights oral hygiene. A corner text box reads: Biofilm can persist in 75% of the mouths surface. The image shows upper and lower teeth, promoting Listerine mouthwash for a cleaner, healthier smile.

    Continuing our long working relationship with Johnson & Johnson, XVIVO created a series of animations for their Listerine mouth rinse line of products. The animations were all developed for dental professionals, to educate them on the mechanism and benefit of the various Listerine products.

    How COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines Work – Vaccine Makers Project

    By Michael Astrachan

    In partnership with CHOP, VMP and Medical History Pictures, XVIVO has created a series of animations that bring to life the detailed processes of how the human immune system fights diseases at both the cellular and molecular levels with the help of vaccinations. In response to ever-evolving conditions within the current pandemic, we have just completed the first of two new videos that explain specifically how COVID-19 vaccines work to prevent the disease.
  • Illustration of a knee joint showcasing the bones, ligaments, and cartilage. The image highlights the structure and connection between the femur, tibia, and fibula on a blue gradient background, offering insight into ligament repair techniques like BioBrace for enhanced joint recovery.

    Innovative Ocular Therapeutics

    By Michael Astrachan

    Qlaris Bio is investigating a novel type of medicine to reduce the pressure inside the eye, with the hopes of providing a new and targeted option to people suffering from glaucoma. To help viewers understand how their investigational drug QLS-101 works, the first step was to make the complex anatomy of the eye more understandable and explain the variety of factors that regulate the pressure inside the eye under normal circumstances.
  • A close-up illustration of molecular structures showcases a green and brown surface. Colorful protein-like shapes, such as red, purple, and yellow, extend from the surface, resembling T Cell Engaging Therapies interacting with a cell membrane in a maverick approach to tackling solid tumor cancers.

    XVIVO partnered with Maverick Therapeutics to create an animation that brought to life the mechanism of action behind their pioneering approach to solid tumor cancer immunotherapy.
  • Illustration of a colorful virus scene depicting spherical particles with spike-like structures in a pastel-toned environment, capturing the essence of viruses. The foreground features a textured surface covered with similar spikes, offering a subtle nod to the science behind pandemics.

    Understanding the Science Behind Viruses Can Help You Get Through the Pandemic

    By Michael Astrachan

    The beautiful thing about science is that once we understand how things work, we can then make intelligent decisions. There’s a lot of highly politicized and sometimes conflicting messaging floating around about the current COVID-19 pandemic raging across the globe. So we thought it would be timely to share with you some highly informative animations we have produced about the mechanisms of virus transmission and the capability of the human body’s immune system to fight back and protect us.
  • A stylized representation of cellular activity depicts a purple, ruffled cell—an integral part of the adaptive immune system—maneuvering among larger, round, pinkish-orange cells. Small particles are scattered throughout the scene against a soft blend of light blue and white in the background.

    When Migraine Attacks

    By Michael Astrachan

    Anyone who suffers from migraine can tell you it is more than just a bad headache. Migraine attacks often include pain with nausea or vomiting and can be accompanied by hypersensitivity to light, sound or touch and last for up to 3 days. When a migraine occurs, the person becomes disabled and can’t perform their normal daily …
