Academic Press International Review of Cytology: A Survey of Cell Biology (Volume 189) (International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology, Volume 189)

International Review of Cytology presents current advances and comprehensive reviews in cell biology-both plant and animal. Articles address structure and control of gene expression, nucleocytoplasmic interactions, control of cell development and differentiation, and cell transformation and growth. Authored by some of the foremost scientists in the field, each volume provides up-to-date information and directions for future research. Key Features * Differentiation-Related Changes in the Cell Cycle * Nitric Oxide and Endothelin-1 in Coronary and Pulmonary Circulation * Phosphoinositide Kinases in Higher Plant Cells * Chlamydomonas Cell Cycle Mutants * Cellular Aspects of Trophic Actions in the Nervous System * Conformational Changes of Muscle Contractile Proteins Review Praise for the Series "Invaluable reading for all biologists." --NATURE "In keeping with the high standards set by the editors... carefully prepared and edited in the customary fine format and well-illustrated style of Academic Press publications... this series is a significant contribution to a science that impinges on many fields." --THE QUARTERLY REVIEW OF BIOLOGY "A valuable addition to any college library as current reference material for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professional scientists." --CHOICE "Maintains the tradition and set-up of the previous volumes and certainly provides up-to-date data on varied aspects of cytology... a valuable acquisition to any library." --THE NUCLEUS "Should be on the shelf of any biomedical library." --Alvin Tesler, Northwestern Medical School, in DOODY'S Synopsis "International Review of Cytology" presents current advances and comprehensive reviews in cell biology - both plant and animal.
