ABOUT THIS BOOK
SPECIAL FEATURES
Reviews in Cell Biology and Molecular MedicineOnline ISBN: 8DOI: 10.906Editor(s): Dr. Robert A. Meyers
Reviews in Cell Biology and Molecular
Medicine (formerly The Encyclopedia of Molecular Cell
Biology and Molecular Medicine) covers both the molecular and
cellular basis of life and medicine. Updated quarterly, this
reference work contains more than 500 articles. As of April 2015,
it is published in a &Volumes and Issues& format, with previously
published articles archived as &Topical Supplements.&
Reviews in Cell Biology and Molecular
Medicine articles are self-contained treatments of a given
topic, usually with over 100 references and 10 to 20 figures and
tables, making this an authoritative reference source for
undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, librarians and
researchers. Each subject is presented on a &first-principles&
basis, including mathematical treatment as appropriate, tables of
key data and detailed figures. Each article is a self-contained
&mini-book&, accessible to readers at every level of expertise, and
covers newly emerging and prominent topics in a myriad of
cross-cutting subject areas.
Latest Issue: Volume 1 Issue 1 is available now.Our first issue of Reviews in Cell Biology and Molecular
Medicine is available to view .
