CELLS, the most relevant textbook in the fi eld, is the ideal resource for advanced undergraduate
and graduate students entering the world of Cell Biology; it is also a useful tool for scientists who
wish to learn more about topics outside their fi eld.
It provides full coverage of the structure, organisation, growth, regulation, movements and
interaction of cells, with the emphasis on eukaryotic cells.
Under the direction of Dr. Lewin and three other expert lead editors, each chapter was prepared
by top scientists in their specialist area. Where they are known the molecular bases for human
diseases are discussed in each chapter
