Praise for Cells At Work! 5

"There are a lot of anthropormorphized stories these days, but it's rare to see one focused on human cells, and seeing the idea realized so clearly was fantastic. It was great fun entering a world based on real research materials with defined characters based on each cell's different function." -Sirius New Age Award jury
