Cells Editors: Benjamin Lewin, Lynne Cassimeris, Vishwanath R. Lingappa, George Plopper CELLS, the most cutting-edge textbook in the field, is the ideal resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students entering the world of cell biology, and a useful tool for scientists who wish to learn more about topics outside their field. This important new text provides full coverage of the structure, organization, growth, regulation, movements, and interaction of cells, with an emphasis on eukaryotic cells. Under the direction of Dr. Benjamin Lewin and three expert lead editors, each chapter was prepared by top scientists who specialize in the subject area. All chapters were carefully edited to maintain consistent use of terminology and to achieve a homogeneous level of detail and rigor. Where they are known, the molecular bases for human diseases are discussed in each chapter. Key Features of CELLS: * Richly illustrated with stunning artwork throughout, including numerous electron micrographs, fluorescence micrographs, and clear, comprehensive drawings. * A key concept box opens each section and highlights important topics discussed throughout the section. * "Grab and Go" figure titles and text boxes lead the reader through figures and illustrations with ease. * "What's next?" sections describe interesting questions that researchers are currently tackling. * Biochemistry chapters are provided on the text's website for readers who have not completed coursework on the subject or who would like a refresher. Supplements: For Instructors The Instructor's Toolkit CD-ROM - Includes a Power Point Image Bank, animations and videos, a test bank, and Power Point Lecture Online Slides.
