This text provides readers with a comprehensive study of the mechanics of cell biology that aligns with Core Curriculum requirements in science. Topics covered range from the different types of cells-- plant and animal, eukaryote and prokaryote, and stem cells--to the components of the cell such as the cell wall, DNA, and plasma-- to cell locomotion and the cell cycle including cell division, mitosis, and meiosis.

Defines and describes the history of cell theory, presents the structure and function of different types of cells, and examines research into developing technologies such as cloning and the use of stem cells.

Author Lipton is a former medical school professor and research scientist. His experiments, and those of other leading-edge scientists, have examined in great detail the processes by which cells receive information. The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating...
