About this title

Synopsis:

Spectacular advances are being made in our understanding of cells, from the intricacy of their structure to the complexity of the biochemical reactions and pathways that regulate their behaviour. Published to mark the 40th anniversary of The American Society for Cell Biology, "Landmark Papers in Cell Biology" contains reprints of 42 seminal papers that illustrate the field's great advances along with brief commentaries that place the papers in historical and thematic context. Highlighting advances in cell biology since the founding of the Society in 1960, the papers - all studies of eukaryotes - were carefully screened and chosen for their significance in the field by eminent cell biologists Joseph Gall and Richard McIntosh. The articles in this timely reference are grouped according to the following themes: genome organization and replication; transcription; nuclear envelope and nuclear import; mitosis and cell cycle control; cell membrane and extracellular matrix; protein synthesis and membrane traffic; and cytoskeleton.
