Description

International Review of Cytology presents current advances and comprehensive reviews in cell biology-both plant and animal. Articles address structure and control of gene expression, nucleocytoplasmic interactions, control of cell development and differentiation, and cell transformation and growth. Authored by some of the foremost scientists in the field, each volume provides up-to-date information and directions for future research.

Key features

  • Autoregulation of Angiogenesis by Cells of the Vessel Wall
  • Fibroblast Growth Factors as Malfunctional Signaling Factors
  • Structural and Functional Characteristics of the Centrosome in Gametogenesis and Early Embryogenesis of Animals
  • Cell and Molecular Biology of the Pars Tuberalis of the Pituitary
  • Polariation of the Na+, K+-ATPase in Epithelia Derived from Neuroepithelium
  • Desmosomes: Intercellular Adhesive Junctions Specialized for Attachment of Intermediate Filaments

Readership

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

About the editor

KJ

Kwang W. Jeon

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.
