A masterful introduction to the cell biology that you need to know! This critically cclaimed text offers you a modern and unique approach to the study of cell biology. It emphasizes hat cellular structure, function, and dysfunction ultimately result from specific macromolecular interactions. You'll progress from an explanation of the "hardware" of molecules and cells o an understanding of how these structures function in the organism in both healthy and diseased states. The exquisite art program helps you to better visualize molecular structures.

Covers essential concepts in a more efficient, reader-friendly manner than most other texts on this subject.
