MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF CELL 5ED PB

For nearly a quarter century, Molecular Biology of the Cell has been theleading cell biology textbook. This tradition continues with the new FifthEdition, which has been completely revised and updated to describe ourcurrent, rapidly advancing understanding of cell biology. To list but afew examples, a large amount of new material is presented on:? Epigenetics? Stem cells? RNAi? Comparative genomics? The latest cancer therapies? Apoptosis (now its own separate chapter)? Cell cycle control and the mechanics of M phase (now integrated into onechapter) The hallmark features of Molecular Biology of the Cell have beenretained, such as its consistent and comprehensive art program, clearconcept headings, and succinct section summaries. Additionally, inresponse to extensive feedback from readers, the Fifth Edition nowincludes several new features. It is now more portable. Chapters 1-20 areprinted and Chapters 21-25, covering multicellular systems, are providedas pdf files on the free Media DVD-ROM which accompanies the book. And forthe first time, Molecular Biology of the Cell now contains end-of-chapterquestions. These problems, written by John Wilson and Tim Hunt, emphasizea quantitative approach and the art of reasoning from experiments, andthey will help students review and extend their knowledge derived fromreading the textbook. The Media DVD-ROM, which is packaged with every copyof the book, contains PowerPointŽ presentations with all of the figures,tables, and micrographs from the text (available as JPEGs too). Alsoincluded is the Media Player, which plays over 125movies�animations, videos, and molecular models�all withvoice-over narration. A new reader-friendly feature is the integration ofmedia codes throughout the text that link directly to relevant videos andanimations. By skillfully extracting the fundamental concepts from thisenormous and ever-growing field, the authors tell the story of cellbiology, and thereby create a coherent framework through which readers mayapproach and enjoy this subject that is so central to all of biology.
