β¦ Synopsis
The field of cell biology is built on a foundation of discoveries stretching back to the earliest descriptions of cell theory in the 1800s. Today, our growing insight into cells and their control of life functions continues to generate advances in areas such as medicine, agriculture, genetics, and reproduction. This book traces the rise of cell biology and explains biological concepts through easy-to-follow text. Sidebars provide biographies of key scientists and descriptions of the evolution of microscopes and other significant technologies. Readers travel deep inside the cell, following the path of scientists as they unlock its mysteries.

<p>The human brain contains more than a billion neurons which interconnect to form networks that process, store, and recall sensory information. These neuronal activities are supported by a group of accessory brain cells coll- tively known as neuroglia. Surprisingly, glial cells are ten times more -
There are not very many books available that try to cover cellular signaling at an introductory level, but this one does a very good job of it. It is well written and at a level appropriate for people with a range of backgrounds. I think that as long as you've had a couple of semesters of biochemist
This text integrates microscopy with plant cell and molecular biology and is an updated revision of the popular atlas of micrographs first published in 1975. It includes over 400 micrographs and 4 pages of full-color plates.
