| This critically acclaimed text takes a modern and completely unique approach to the study of cell biology. Its overriding theme is that cellular structure, function, and dysfunction ultimately result from specific macromolecular interactions. The text takes readers from an explanation of the "hardware" of molecules and cells to an understanding of how these structures function in the organism in both healthy and diseased states. An exquisite art program allows readers to better visualize the molecular structures. The smart way to study! Elsevier titles with STUDENT CONSULT will help you master difficult concepts and study more efficiently in print and online! Perform rapid searches. Integrate bonus content from other disciplines. Download text to your handheld device. And a lot more. Each STUDENT CONSULT title comes with full text online, a unique image library, case studies, USMLE style questions, and online note-taking to enhance your learning experience. Zeroes in on the core knowledge in the field-for coverage that is concise, yet complete. Offers a brilliant full-color art program, in which physical structures are presented to scale for the first time. Provides an evolutionary perspective that explains how the molecular and cellular structures evolved in different organisms. Includes clinical examples throughout that relate molecular changes to the development of disease.
