International Review of Cytology A Survey of Cell Biology

International Review of Cytology presents current advances and comprehensive reviews in cell biology ? both plant and animal. Authored by some of the foremost scientists in the field, each volume provides up-to-date information and directions for future research. Articles in this volume address cell and molecular biology of spindle poles and NuMa; organelle-nuclei in higher plants; the centrosome in higher organisms; functions of myc; and electrophysiological approaches to the study of protein translocation in mitochondria.

Transcription in haploid male germ cells; Free radicals in cell biology; Experimental studies on sexual reproduction in diatoms; Vertebrate thymus and the neurotrophin system; Visualization of molecular activities inside living cells with fluorescent labels.

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

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.
