Concise, yet comprehensive, this informative text is designed to teach cell biology to medical, dental, nursing and veterinary students, as well as pre-med undergraduates. Coverage includes the cell biology of humans and animals and the cell biology of disease. Presented in an easy-to-follow format, this book demonstrates the medical relevance of cell biology, reviews common diseases where cellular and molecular bases of the disorder are fundamental to treating the patient; illustrates key relationships between structure and function with many light and electronic micrographs of cell structure; and integrates relevant cell biological aspects of the immune system.
