Cell Biology : Fundamentals and Applications

Cell Biology : Fundamentals and Applications by Gupta ML And Jangir ML

Book Summary:

The cell forms the fundamental basis of all the biological sciences and life. The cell biology is fastest growing branch of science since tremendous addition of knowledge takes place in per unit time.

There is a great deal of heterogeneity in the syllabi on cell biology of different Indian universities. To fulfill the needs of students from different corners of the country, the authors had written a book.
