Cell Biology: A Short Course, 2nd ed. |
General description
Taking an "essentials only" approach, this text, a completely revision of the earlier textbook From Genes to Cells, tells the story of cells as the unit of life in an accessible, user-friendly manner. The authors combine their expertise to skillfully present key points and illustrate them with clear diagrams and numerous examples from current research. This book offers: a unified presentation of cell biology in both medicine and industry with extensive cross-referencing; copious illustrations that make material clear and easy to understand; numerous boxed inserts that tie concepts to real-world research and developments in medicine and industry; a detailed, complete description of intercellular signaling.
