Medical Cell Biology 3rd Edition

Medical Cell Biology

Medical Cell Biology, 3rd Edition, edited by Steven R. Goodman, provides a concise introduction to eukaryotic cell biology with a focus on human and animal health and disease. Designed for medical, dental, veterinary, and pre-health students, it explains fundamental cellular processes within the context of organ systems and clinical conditions. This updated edition includes approximately 60% new material, new clinical cases, and expanded coverage of apoptosis, neural cell death, cardiac signal transduction, cell-cycle regulation, and cancer biology. Board-style questions help students reinforce their knowledge and prepare for medical examinations.
