Accessible and user-friendly, Cell Biology, 4th Edition, provides a
strong foundation for students entering health care career paths as
well as higher level research areas. Clear, readable text and
high-quality, detailed illustrations help readers quickly grasp
challenging content-all focusing on cellular processes without
delving into molecular processes. Drs. Thomas D. Pollard, William
C. Earnshaw, Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz, and author/illustrator
Dr. Graham Johnson have thoroughly updated this popular text to
ensure its relevance for students in biology, biotechnology,
medicine, and pathophysiology, covering key principles of cellular
function and explaining how molecular defects lead to cellular
dysfunction and cause human disease. Clear, readable explanations
provide a concise story about how cells function at the molecular
level. An intuitive chapter flow starts with genome organization,
gene expression, and RNA processing as a foundation for
understanding every aspect of cellular function and physiology.
Brings cellular biology to life for students interested in medical
science by explaining how mutations in genes can compromise
virtually every cellular system and predispose to human disease.
Knowledge of cell biology has led to new treatments for cancer,
heart failure, cystic fibrosis, and many other diseases. Unique
illustrations with realistic proportions and relationships explain
every cellular process including the assembly of SARS CoV-2, the
structures attaching mitotic chromosomes to microtubules, the
mechanism of DNA replication and how pumps, carriers and channels
orchestrate physiological processes from synaptic transmission to
cellular volume regulation. Covers exciting breakthroughs such as
SMC motor proteins actively organizing chromosomal DNA, TOR kinases
regulating metabolism, new types of immunotherapy for cancer
treatment, mechanisms regulating fast axonal transport and their
relation to neurodegenerative diseases, how completion of DNA
replication sets the time for cells to enter mitosis, how a cascade
of signals specifies the site of cell division, and newly
understood pathways of normal and pathological cell death. Enhanced
eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows
you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the
book on a variety of devices.
