Summary

"Molecular cell biology links the molecular life sciences with the rest of biology and medicine. The vocabulary is hence diverse with subject specific terms and many from the whole range of adjoining disciplines. The two previous editions of The Dictionary of Cell Biology gathered a broad working collection of widely used terms in cell and molecular biology, together with related expressions in genetics, neurobiology, physiology, immunology and pathology." "The third edition builds on the foundations of its predecessors but in a unique manner. Preparation of this volume was influenced both by readers' comments and by usage of the Internet version of the second edition. Thus for the first time ever, this is a dictionary that reflects the demands made by users." "The Dictionary will serve equally as a handy reference, a companion to other reference texts, or a spelling and fact checker for students, research scientists and those engaged in ancillary activities, such as science journalists, and the curious lay reader."--Jacket.
