This is the most current, authoritative, and comprehensive vision of molecular cell biology today. Recent advances in our knowledge of how cells work has driven the discipline to the point where we understand the cell at new levels of complexity such as larger signaling complexes in cells, and cells interacting with other cells. To present this new view of molecular cell biology and the accompanying advances in experimental technology, the fifth edition presents exciting developments in cell birth, lineage and death; expanded coverage of signaling systems within the whole cell/organism; and expanded coverage of metabolism and movement of lipids. In addition, new pedagogy includes research questions by looking at real experimental data in Analyzing the Data problems; and Updated Perspectives for the Future at the end of each chapter, which explore potential applications of future discoveries and unanswered questions that lie ahead for researchers.
The Media Package includes a companion website at: www.whfreeman.com with animations, videos and classic experiments covering groundbreaking molecular cell biology experiments to enhance student learning. For instructors there are PowerPoint images from the text; solutions; and a test bank.
Other supplements include an Instructor's CD-ROM containing all text images; a conversion guide from the 4th edition; test bank; animations and videos; and overhead transparencies. And for students there is Working with Molecular Cell Biology, 5th edition: A Study Companion and Solutions Manual
