Cells at work! / Shimizu, Akane

"White Blood Cell, Red Blood Cell, Macrophage, and the cute little Platelets face a threat unlike any they've ever dealt with before: COVID-19! But even this threat can be defeated, as long as everyone works together. The . . . informative series comes to a close with one last tour of the hardworking body, featuring 'left shift' in the blood, retinal degeneration, and a simple bump on the noggin. But, of course, as long as there's a job to do, this team won't quit!"--Back cover.

"Life's not easy for a workaday cell, and amid all the hustle and bustle it takes to keep the human body going, it can be hard to know who's an enemy and who's a friend. You might think all germs are bad, but it turns out some bacteria aren't just friendly, they're downright essential (not to mention cuddly)! In fact, when an old nemesis returns, it might just be those friendly, cuddy bacteria that help save the day"--Back cover.

"A cell's job is never done! Between fighting off respiratory infections, dengue fever, and a serious case of hemorrhagic shock, Red Blood Cell and White Blood Cell have been working harder than ever to protect the body from bacteria and diseases. But with new challenges comes new allies, and it's up to all the cells to come together to keep the body-their home-safe from harm"--Back cover.

"To fight on the front lines of the immune system, hardworking cells must undergo intense training. Killer T Cell and Helper T Cell are the best of the best now, but back in their academy days they were nothing more than little cells with big dreams and an even bigger rivalry. Meanwhile, some of the trickiest problems turn out to be the most mundane. The common cold proves to be a serious prankster who's hard to handle, and the usually calm White Blood Cell find himself dealing with one of the most annoying everyday maladies...acne"--Back cover.

"Red Blood Cell and White Blood Cell somehow keep running into each other--could their bond have been fated since childhood? Either way, the body they live and work in can't seem to catch a break. From food poisoning to heat exhaustion to the threat of cancer, life in the body is as busy as it is dangerous, but the hard-working cells that keep it (and you) running are up to the task!"--Back cover.

"Strep throat! Hay fever! Influenza! The world is a dangerous place for a red blood cell just trying to her deliveries finished. Fortunately, she's not alone... she's got a whole human body's worth of cells ready to help out! The mysterious white blood cells, the buff and brash killer T cells, even the cute little platelets--everyone's got to come together if they want to keep you healthy. Together, these dedicated cells will tackle everything from pneumonia to everyday allergies, and it's all in a day's work!"--Back cover.
