Medical Cell Biology

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