Résumé

Because molecular and cellular biology is such an exciting and rapidly moving area of science, teaching it at the undergraduate level is a rewarding, yet challenging, task. The Cell: A Molecular Approach meets this challenge by providing students with not only the most current information, but also with an introduction to the experimental nature of contemporary research. Designed for use in introductory cell biology courses, The Cell presents current comprehensive science in a readable and cohesive text that students can master in the course of one semester.

The new Third Edition of The Cell retains the organization, themes, and special features of earlier editions, but is updated to reflect scientific advances since publication of the Second Edition in 2000, including:

progress that has been made in genome sequencing
advances in understanding transcriptional regulation and mRNA processing
the use of DNA microarrays in global studies of gene expression and cancer diagnostics
advances in nuclear transport and protein trafficking
progress in understanding the regulation of programmed cell death
potential medical applications of embryonic stem cells
the development of oncogene-targeted cancer treatments

The book can be bundled for purchase with a special edition of Understand!Biology: Molecules, Cells, and Genes, a CD keyed to the textbook and combining the essential features of a study guide and a problems book.
