520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. "While cells are commonly considered the building block of living things, it is actually the communication between cells that brings us to life, controlling our bodies and brains, determining whether we are healthy or sick, and directly influencing how we think, feel, and behave. In The Secret Language of Cells, doctor and neuroscientist Jon Lieff lets us listen in on these conversations, and reveals their significance for everything from mental health to cancer. He explains the surprising science of how very different cells--bacteria and brain cells, blood cells and viruses--all speak the same language. This overarching principle has been long overlooked because scientific journals use impenetrable jargon that makes it hard to be understood across disciplines, much less by the general public." -- Amazon.com.
Summary, etc. "Renowned neuroscientist, lecturer and social-media sensation Jon Lieff provides ground-breaking cellular science that affects our immunity, mental health, weight loss and disease"--
