Story

from the author

“I have suffered from few health conditions for the past 4 years and learnt a lot about the human body and how it works. Due to my allergies I have learnt a lot about Mast cells. We all know about the red blood cells, platelets and white blood cells but nothing about the cells which are connected to allergies and so. I did this 3D animation so my girls can understand what mast cells are and where they are made.”

The author drew the 2D picture of the Mast Cell character.
