Histology and Cell Biology-5판

Linking basic science to clinical application throughout, Histology and Cell Biology: An Introduction to Pathology, 5th 
Edition, helps students build a stronger clinical knowledge base in the challenging area of pathologic abnormalities. 
This award-winning text presents key concepts in an understandable, easy-to-understand manner, with full-color 
illustrations, diagrams, photomicrographs, and pathology photos fully integrated on every page. Student-friendly 
features such as highlighted clinical terms, Clinical Conditions boxes, Essential Concepts boxes, concept mapping 
animations, and more help readers quickly grasp complex information.

Key Features

뷚eatures new content on cancer immunotherapy, satellite cells and muscle repair, vasculogenesis and angiogenesis in  
relation to cancer treatment, and mitochondria replacement therapies.

뷥resents new material on ciliogenesis, microtubule assembly and disassembly, chromatin structure and condensation, and 
X chromosome inactivation, which directly impact therapy for ciliopathies, infertility, cancer, and Alzheimer's 
disease.

뷥rovides thoroughly updated information on gestational trophoblastic diseases, molecular aspects of breast cancer, and 
basic immunology, including new illustrations on the structure of the T-cell receptor, CD4+ cells subtypes and 
functions, and the structure of the human spleen.

뷫ses a new, light green background throughout the text to identify essential concepts of histology - a feature 
requested by both students and instructors to quickly locate which concepts are most important for beginning learners 
or when time is limited. These essential concepts are followed by more detailed information on cell biology and 
pathology.

뷖ontains new Primers in most chapters that provide a practical, self-contained integration of histology, cell biology, 
and pathology - perfect for clarifying the relationship between basic and clinical sciences.

뷞dentifies clinical terms throughout the text and lists all clinical boxes in the table of contents for quick 
reference.

뷝elps students understand the links between chapter concepts with concept mapping animations on Student Consult?an 
outstanding supplement to in-class instruction. 

뷨tudent Consult?eBook version included with purchase. This enhanced eBook experience allows you to search all of the
