Academic Press International Review of Cytology: A Survey of Cell Biology: v. 216 (International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology): Volume 216

International Review of Cytology presents current advances and comprehensive reviews in cell biology--both plant and animal. Articles in this volume address topics such as amphibians as models for the study of endocrine disruptors; the structure and function of the Entamoeba histoytica Gal/GalNAc lectin; epigenetic mechanisms for the primary differentiation in mammalian embryos; glycocalyx of lung epithelial cells; molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the generation of fiber diversity during myogenesis; and the leukocyte cytoskeleton in cell migration and immune interactions. 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 bioloists." --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 the 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 "Should be on the shelf of any biomedical library." --Alvin Tesler, Northwestern Medical School, in DOODY'S About the Author Kwang Jeon received his Ph.D. in cell physiology at King’s College, University of London, UK, in 1964 and taught at SUNY Buffalo and University of Tennessee. His research was concerned with the biogenesis and function of cell components in two major areas: Integration of intracellular symbionts into host cells leading to the acquisition of new cell components and cell variation; Membrane-protein recycling during endo- and exocytosis.
