Ebook: Cell biology

The much-anticipated 3rd edition ofCell Biologydeliverscomprehensive, clearly written, and richly illustratedcontent to today's students, all in a user-friendly format.Relevant to both research and clinical practice, this rich resource covers key principles of cellular function and uses them to explain how molecular defects lead to cellular dysfunction and cause human disease.Concise text and visually amazing graphics simplify complex informationand help readers make the most of their study time.


Clearly written formatincorporates rich illustrations, diagrams, and charts.
Uses real examplesto illustrate key cell biology concepts.
Includesbeneficial cell physiology coverage.


Clinically orientedtext relates cell biology to pathophysiology and medicine.
Takes amechanistic approachto molecular processes.

Major new didactic chapter flowleads with the latest on genome organization, gene expression and RNA processing.
Boasts exciting new contentincluding the evolutionary origin of eukaryotes, super resolution fluorescence microscopy, cryo-electron microscopy, gene editing by CRISPR/Cas9, contributions of high throughput DNA sequencing to understand genome organization and gene expression, microRNAs, IncRNAs, membrane-shaping proteins, organelle-organelle contact sites, microbiota, autophagy, ERAD, motor protein mechanisms, stem cells, and cell cycle regulation.

Features specially expanded coverageof genome sequencing and regulation, endocytosis, cancer genomics, the cytoskeleton, DNA damage response, necroptosis, and RNA processing.


Includes hundreds of new and updateddiagrams and micrographs, plus fifty new protein and RNA structures to explain molecular mechanisms in unprecedented detail.
