International Review of Cytology presents current advances and comprehensive reviews in cell biology - both plant and animal. Authored by some of the foremost scientists in the field, each volume provides up-to-date information and directions for future research. Articles in this volume include Mechanisms of Gradient Detection: A Comparison of Axon Pathfinding with Eukaryotic Cell Migration; Leptin and the Regulation of Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis; Focal Adhesion and p53 Signaling in Cancer Cells; Cell and Molecular Biology of the Spindle Matrix; Mitochondrial Biology and Disease in Dictyostelium; Oxytocin and the Human Prostate in Health and Disease.

Zielgruppe

Cell biologists, molecular biologists, developmental biologists, physiologists (organ level), biomedical scientists, biochemists studying cell-cell interactions, cell variation and evolution.

Über Autor(innen)

Jeon, Kwang W.
Kwang Jeon received his Ph.D. in cell physiology at King's College, University of London, UK, in 1964 and taught at SUNY Buffalo and University of Tennessee. His research was concerned with the biogenesis and function of cell components in two major areas: Integration of intracellular symbionts into host cells leading to the acquisition of new cell components and cell variation; Membrane-protein recycling during endo- and exocytosis.
