Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews: Cell and Molecular Biology

Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews: Cell and Molecular Biology offers a highly visual presentation of essential cell and molecular biology, focusing on topics related to human health and disease. This new addition to the internationally best-selling Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews Series includes all the popular features of the series: an abundance of full-color annotated illustrations, expanded outline format, chapter summaries, review questions, and case studies that link basic science to real-life clinical situations. The book can be used as a review text for a stand-alone cell biology course in medical, health professions, and upper-level undergraduate programs, or in conjunction with Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews: Biochemistry for integrated courses.

A companion Website features the fully searchable online text, an interactive Question Bank for students, and an Image Bank for instructors to create PowerPoint® presentations.
