Molecular Biology of the Cell 5E by Bruce Alberts

Molecular Biology of the Cell 5E by Bruce Alberts

A textbook on Molecular Biology of the Cell. It offers information on epigenetics; stem cells; RNAi; comparative genomics; the latest cancer therapies; apoptosis (now its own separate chapter); and cell cycle control and the mechanics of M phase. It includes a Media DVD-ROM which accompanies the book.

Throughout the book, emphasis is placed not just on what 'we know' but also on 'how we know' and 'what remains to be discovered'- important for engaging and enthusing students...A quarter of a century after the first edition revolutionised cell biology textbooks, the new edition is as fresh, comprehensive and above all, as readable as ever....Like its predecessors, this is a superb textbook for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students.
