Description

For several decades, scientists have struggled to determine how basic cellular processes are controlled. This quest has led to a recent explosion of knowledge and to the development of powerful new concepts and tools for understanding cell function at the molecular level. "Perspectives On Cellular Regulation" presents these findings in a collection of papers describing the research approaches, accomplishments and viewpoints of some of today's leading investigators engaged in diverse areas of cell and molecular biology. Topics include from chromosome structure to morphogenesis in prokaryotes, normal and abnormal growth, and differentiation in eukaryotes.
