For more than four decades, Molecular Biology of the Cell has distilled the vast amount of scientific knowledge to illuminate basic principles, enduring concepts and cutting-edge research. The Seventh Edition has been extensively revised and updated with the latest research, and has been thoroughly vetted by experts and instructors. The classic companion text, The Problems Book, has been reimagined as the Digital Problems Book in Smartwork, an interactive digital assessment course with a wide selection of questions and automatic-grading functionality. The digital format with embedded animations and dynamic question types makes the Digital Problems Book in Smartwork easier to assign than ever before-for both in-person and online classes.

This text features lively, clear writing and exceptional illustrations, making it the ideal textbook for a first course in both cell and molecular biology. Thoroughly revised and updated, the Fifth Edition maintains its focus on the latest cell biology research. For the first time ever, Essential Cell Biology will come with access to Smartwork5, Norton's innovative online homework platform, creating a more complete learning experience.

As the amount of information in biology expands dramatically, it becomes increasingly important for textbooks to distill this vast amount of scientific knowledge into concise principles and enduring concepts. Molecular Biology of the Cell, Sixth Edition accomplishes this goal with clear writing and beautiful illustrations. The Sixth Edition has been extensively revised and updated with the latest research in cell biology and it provides an exceptional framework for teaching and learning.

Der "kleine" Alberts gilt als das beliebteste einfuhrende Lehrbuch der Zellbiologie: wie die vierte, komplett uberarbeitete Auflage zeigt, auch vollig zu Recht. Wieder ist besonders viel Wert auf eine anschauliche Prasentation in Text und Bild gelegt worden. Ein ausgefeiltes didaktisches Konzept vereinigt Bewahrtes mit vollig Neuem:
- inklusive CD-ROM "Essential Cell Biology Interactive" mit uber 100 Video Clips, Molekulstrukturen und mikroskopischen Aufnahmen
- 20 Tafeln zu klassischen und modernen Experimenten der Biologie
- mit zwei neuen Kapiteln zu "Genetik, Meiose und die molekularen Grundlagen der Vererbung" sowie "Wie sich Gene und Genome entwickeln"
- Zusammenfassung der wichtigsten Inhalte und Schlusselbegriffe am Kapitelende
- durchgehend vierfarbige Illustrationen und ubersichtstafeln, die die grundlegenden Konzepte anschaulich darstellen
- mit uber 400 Verstandnisfragen, ubungsaufgaben und deren Losungen
- um mehr als 10 % erweitertes, illustriertes Glossar mit 600 Ausdrucken
Aus der Fulle der neuen und neuesten Erkenntnisse wurden die unentbehrlichen Grundlagen der molekularen Zellbiologie sowie ihre Anwendungen in Medizin, Gen- und Biotechnologie herausgearbeitet - ein Plus, das dieses Buch, zusammen mit seinem unverwechselbaren Stil, fur Lehrende und Lernende gleichermaen faszinierend und verlasslich macht.

Recent breakthroughs in the field of cell growth, particularly in the control of cell size, are reviewed by experts in the three major divisions of the field: growth of individual cells, growth of organs, and regulation of cell growth in the contexts of development and cell division. This book is an introductory overview of the field and should be adaptable as a textbook.
