About this book

The ideal text for advanced undergraduate and graduate cell biology courses, the Third Edition of Lewin's Cells continues to offer current coverage of the structure, organization, growth, regulation, movements, and interaction of cells, with an emphasis on eukaryotic cells. Thoroughly updated, Lewin's Cells provides students with the "big picture" view of the world of the cell. Under the direction of three expert lead editors, readers learn how the different elements of the cell interact, painting a picture of all the moving parts within a cell's function. A new box feature throughout titled Cells in Action, examines how cells "behave," such as hunting for infectious agents, etc.
