Academic Press International Review of Cytology (Volume 199) (International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology, Volume 199)

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 * Cellular and Molecular Biology of Capacitation and Acrosome Reaction in Spermatozoa * Growth Factors and Epithelial-Stromal Interactions in Prostate Cancer Development * PCR-Detected Genome Polymorphism in Malignant Cell Growth * Cellulose Microfibrils in Plants: Biosynthesis, Deposition, and Integration into the Cell Wall * Cell Biology of Peroxisomes and Their Characteristics in Aquatic Organisms * Cellular Responses to Vasectomy 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.
