Pollard (cellular biology, Yale University) and Earnshaw (cell biology, University of Edinburgh, UK) examine cellular structure, function, and dysfunction as the result of specific macromolecular interactions in this text for medical students, undergraduate cell biology students, and graduate students in cellular and molecular biology, biophysics, physiology, and chemistry. The text takes readers from an explanation of the "hardware" of molecules and cells to an understanding of how these structures function in the organism in both healthy and diseased states. This updated edition features access to the text online and PDA download capabilities. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
