This custom continues with the brand new Fifth Edition, which has been fully revised and up to date to explain our present, quickly advancing understanding of cell biology. To listing however a number of examples, a considerable amount of new materials is offered on epigenetics; stem cells; RNAi; comparative genomics; the most recent most cancers therapies; apoptosis (now its personal separate chapter); and cell cycle management and the mechanics of M section (now built-in into one chapter).
