Sinopsis

The 3D animation Guided Bone Regeneration is the latest module of the Cell-to-Cell Communication series. To the extent that the details of the highly complex intercellular processes are amenable to presentation by computer animation, the present film, with its stunning didactical, dramaturgical, and visual appeal, successfully conveys the essentials of cell-to-cell communication, visualizing the invisible yet fascinating world of signals and signaling within the human body.
