The Liver in Biology and Disease was conceived as a sequel in the series "Principles of Medical Biology," whose general aim continues to be the integration of human biology and molecular cell biology into modern molecular medicine. It is a volume molded by the Information Revolution which few will d... More

The present volume represents an effort at presenting the subject of membrane biochemistry and the organization and dynamics of subcellular organelles in an exciting and somewhat tentative manner. Tentative in the sense that facts and theories are often kept clear and distinct, and alternative ways ... More

The Cumulative Index is designed to assist the reader in quickly finding current and comprehensive information related to medical cell biology, an integrative discipline which encompasses evolutionary biology, structural biology, cell chemistry and physiology, developmental biology, and cell ageing....

Volumes 5A and 5B of Fundamentals of Medical Cell Biology are a treatment of several key subjects, including cellular signaling. One profitable way to tackle both volumes is to read them with care but without endeavouring to master most of the details. Then should follow a more plodding study, chapt... More

This new book provides an accessible review of the field of lung biology and disease aimed at the graduate or medical student and biomedical researcher. The book starts by considering the anatomy and ultrastructure of the lung and the tracheal and bronchial system, the control of respiration as well... More

This volume provides an overview of the cytoskeleton particularly on the fundamental role the cytoskeleton plays in the regulation of cell structure and function. This book represents new trends in cytoskeletal research that go beyond the traditional approach of identifying new proteins in the cytos... More

This volume is in two parts. The first contains the remaining chapters on cellular organelles and several chapters relating to organelle disorders. An account of mitochondriopathis is given in the chapter on the mitochondrion rather than in a separate one. The subject matter of this part of the volu... More

Volumes 3A and 3B aim to give the reader a short but exciting account of the rudiments of cell biology from a largely chemical point of view. Several important topics, however, such as membrane and organelle biochemistry and cellular signalling are dealt with in later volumes. The problems of enzyme... More

There is a need in small group teaching for a readable module that provides a balanced treatment of the four main areas of medical microbiology-bacteriology, mycology, virology and parasistology. It need not be encyclopedic in scope nor didactic, but it should emphasise principles and concepts. Any ... More
