Molecular Cell Biology presents the key concepts in cell biology and their experimental underpinnings. The authors, all world-class researchers and teachers, incorporate medically relevant examples where appropriate to help illustrate the connections between cell biology and health and human disease. As always, a hallmark of MCB is the use of experiments to engage students in the history of cell biology and the research that has contributed to the field.

This book is a very clearly written introduction to cellular biology. I would recommend it to anybody with at least a college-level Biology I understanding. The text is detailed, so for those looking for an overview of the subject, this may not be the book for you.

The book is divided into three sections:
1) Chemical and Molecular Foundations (3 chapters)
2) Genetics and Molecular Biology (5 chapters)
3) Cell Structure and Function (11 chapters)
4) Cell Growth and Development (5 chapters)

The first section is mostly a review of topics from introductory biology with additional details. For example, it briefly illustrates how a binding pocket on an enzyme works.

The second section reviews transcription, translation, overviews important lab techniques, epigenetics, and how gene expression is controlled.

The third section covers cell structure and function in detail. It covers membrane structure, organelle structure, vesicular traffic, signaling pathways, and the cell cycle (among other topics).

The final section builds on the previous sections by discussing tissues formation, stems cells, nerve cells, immunology, and cancer.

I used this book for an undergraduate Cell Biology course at a research university, and I read almost every page. It gave me exactly the foundation I needed to boost my bioinformatics research.

Great book. Easy to digest and clearly written. If you haven't taken biochem or molecular bio in a while, the first few chapters will quickly bring you back up to speed.
