Unscramble the Blue Letters


So we set out by looking at how these mocleules are put together. We worked with a theme, which is, you've got maergpachos that are streaming down a capillary, and they're touching the surface of the capillary wall, and they're picking up information from cells that are on the capillary wall, and they are given this information that there's an inlomftaamin somewhere outside, where they can't see and sense. But they get the information that causes them to stop, causes them to iatelrinzne that they need to make all of the various parts that will cause them to change their shape, and try to get out of this capillary and find out what's going on.

Original Text


So we set out by looking at how these molecules are put together. We worked with a theme, which is, you've got macrophages that are streaming down a capillary, and they're touching the surface of the capillary wall, and they're picking up information from cells that are on the capillary wall, and they are given this information that there's an inflammation somewhere outside, where they can't see and sense. But they get the information that causes them to stop, causes them to internalize that they need to make all of the various parts that will cause them to change their shape, and try to get out of this capillary and find out what's going on.
