Decorative Boards. Condition: Very Good/Fine. First Edition. During the past decade, our insight into cell structure and function has improved rapidly in a large number of fields. Consequently, advances in many areas of cell and molecular biology are starting to reveal how at least some aspects of cell behaviour might be controlled. As our knowledge increases, unifying themes emerge which help to enrich our understanding of the more complex issues of cell differentiation. To celebrate its Golden Jubilee, Unilever Research brought together scientists from a variety of fields, which might not otherwise have met, in order to discuss differentiation. In this symposium volume, areas of intense current interest in cell and molecular biology are represented. The topics covered include the cytoskeleton and peri-cellular matric, endocytosis, the co-ordinating roles of cyclic AMP and calcium, the control of growth and differentiation in vitro, the organisation and control of genes, and aspects of mammalian and insect development. In addition to the reviews and papers given by leading contributors in each field, it contains an introductory addresss by Sydney Brenner and an open discussion on the nature of differentiation. This volume brings together detailed studies from a number of different fields and should prove of great interest to molecular, cell and developmental biologists and to geneticists. Illustrated. Illustrated laminated boards. Previous owners name to inside cover. Top corners of book very slightly bumped. Bottom corners of book very slightly worn.
