The field of cell biology is so vast and changing so rapidly that teaching it can be a daunting prospect. The First Edition of The Cell: A Molecular Approach, published in 1997, offered the perfect solution for teachers and their students--current, comprehensive science combined with the readability and cohesiveness of a single-authored text. Designed for one-semester introductory cell biology courses, this book enabled students to master the material in the entire book, not simply to sample a small fraction from a much larger text.
The Second Edition of The Cell retains the organisation, themes, and special features of the original, but it has been completely updated in major areas of scientific progress, including: * genome analysis * chromatin and transcription * nuclear transport * protein sorting and trafficking * signal transduction * the cell cycle * programmed cell death http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/bv.fcgi?call=bv.View..ShowTOC&rid=cooper.TOC&depth=2
