Description

A big, beautiful (now in color throughout), up-to-date survey of cell biology for the introductory university course. The text is divided into four sections: introduction to the cell; molecular genetics; internal organization of the cell; and cells in their social context. Previous editions were pu

Description

The third edition of this text is completely reorganized to reflect new discoveries, emphases and approaches. It covers advances in signal transduction, intracellular protein sorting, and gene regulation; it also adds two new chapters on recombinant DNA techniques and proteins as machines.
