Molecular Cell Biology (Sixth Edition)

Explore the molecular machinery of living cells

Good Condition - with surface scuffs and scratches, rubbed edges and bumped corners and spine ends.

This sixth edition of Molecular Cell Biology connects the chemistry of life with the structures and processes that allow cells to function. Beginning with chemical foundations and proteins, the text moves through genetic mechanisms, gene regulation, membranes, transport and cellular energy. Later sections examine signalling, the cytoskeleton, cell division, development, nerve cells, immunology and cancer, building a broad picture of how molecular events shape living systems. Detailed diagrams and explanations support the discussion, while experimental approaches show how scientists investigate the questions being considered. Written by a team led by Harvey Lodish, the volume provides a substantial course text for students seeking an integrated understanding of cell structure, molecular activity and the coordination of complex biological processes.
