Lehrbuch der Molekularen Zellbiologie

The "Little Alberts" is the undisputed number one among introductory textbooks in molecular and cell biology. From the wealth of new and latest findings, it distills the essential foundations of molecular cell biology and their applications in medicine, genetics, and biotechnology, with the accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of its big brother "Molecular Biology of the Cell," illustrated with 900 full-color images.

Twenty-one full-page overview charts on complex topics such as metabolism and regulation, which are ideal for exam preparation, summaries of key content and terms at the end of each chapter, more than 400 comprehension questions, exercises and their solutions, as well as an illustrated glossary with over 600 terms make learning easy.

The 5th edition has been completely revised and updated with current topics. It offers, among other things, a better introduction to the "difficult" topics of chemical bonding and membrane potential, a new subsection on the role of genetic factors in the development of diseases, and incorporates numerous new findings, including chromatin remodeling, genome editing with the CRISPR/Cas system, optogenetics, amyloid formation, genome-wide association studies, pluripotent stem cells, and much more.

Reviews of the previous edition:

"The little brother of the Albert classic 'Molecular Biology of the Cell' captivates the reader with didactic elegance and outstanding illustrations across 20 chapters, from genes to the emergence of cancer."

"The 'Alberts' is rightly the most popular introductory textbook in cell biology. A sophisticated didactic concept combines proven content with entirely new insights.".
