Introduction

Cell Biology: Basics to Breakthroughs provides an in-depth and integrative journey through cellular structure, function, and regulation, spanning classical foundations to cutting-edge scientific advancements. Beginning with fundamental principles of cell organization, gene expression, signaling pathways, and organelle dynamics, the book gradually transitions into advanced domains such as stem cell biology, cancer cell signaling, molecular imaging, and therapeutic innovations.

Written by domain experts, each chapter blends established concepts with modern discoveries, offering readers a holistic understanding of how cells operate, adapt, communicate, and contribute to human health and disease. Illustrations, tables, and updated references support clarity, while translational insights demonstrate how cellular research drives breakthroughs in diagnostics, therapeutics, and biotechnology.

Key Features

  • - Explains core principles of cell structure, function, and molecular regulation with clarity and precision.
  • - Integrates classical concepts with cutting-edge topics including stem cells, cancer biology, and molecular imaging.
  • - Illustrates complex mechanisms through diagrams, tables, and visual aids for enhanced comprehension.
  • - Highlights translational perspectives linking cellular processes to disease mechanisms and therapeutic advances.

Target Readership:

Undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, educators, and professionals in life sciences, biotechnology, and medicine.
