The Cell Upplaga 7

Written by an active scientist and experienced educator, this textbook combines readability and cohesiveness with comprehensive and up-to-date science.Teaching cell biology can be a daunting task because the field is so vast and rapidly moving, characterised by a continual explosion of new information. Students need to understand the principles of cell biology and be able to appreciate new advances, rather than just memorising “the facts.” At the same time, the material must be presented in sufficient depth to thoughtfully engage students and provide a sound basis for further studies. The Cell, Seventh Edition provides a balance of concepts and details that meets the needs of today’s students and their teachers.New to This Edition Over 70 new Data Analysis Problems, with answers and explanations New online videos, referenced throughout the bookA new chapter—Genomics, Proteomics, and Systems Biology—focuses on these rapidly advancing areas and includes discussion of the growing field of synthetic biology.Other notable advances covered in the Seventh Edition include super-resolution microscopy, genome editing by the CRISPR/Cas system, epigenetics, the organisation of chromosome domains in the nucleus, and an updated discussion of prions and Alzheimer’s disease.New Key Experiment boxes: HeLa cells; the ENCODE ProjectNew Molecular Medicine boxes: Malaria and Synthetic Biology; Alzheimer’s Disease; Peroxisome Biogenesis Disorders
