International Review of Cytology presents current advances and comprehensive reviews in cell biology--both plant and animal. Articles in this volume address such topics as cytoskeleton-dependent transport and localization of nRNA, special cytochemistry in cell biology, plasticity and stabilization of neuromuscular and CNS synapses, adipokinetic hormones of insects, and iron metabolism in mammalian cells. Authored by some of the foremost scientists in the field, each volume provides up-to-date information and directions for future research. 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.
