Summary:
"Your body has trillions of cells, and each one has the complexity and dynamism of a city. Your life, your thoughts, your diseases, and your
health
are all the function of cells. But what do you really know about what goes on inside you? The last time most people thought about cells in any detail was probably in high school or a college general biology class. But the field of
cell
biology has advanced incredibly rapidly in recent decades, and a great deal of what we may have learned in high school and college is no longer accurate or particularly relevant. The
Cell
: Inside the
Microscopic
World
that
Determines
Our
Health
,
Our
Consciousness
, and
Our
Future
is a fascinating story of the incredible complexity and dynamism inside the
cell
and of the fantastic advancements in
our
understanding of this
microscopic
world
. Dr. Joshua Z. Rappoport is at the forefront of this field, and he will take you on a journey to discover: A deeper understanding of how cells work and the basic nature of life on earth. Fascinating histories of some of the key discoveries from the seventeenth century to the last decade and provocative thoughts on the current state of academic research. The knowledge required to better understand the new developments that are announced almost weekly in science and
health
care, such as cancer, cellular therapies, and the potential promise of stem cells. The ability to make better decisions about
health
and to debunk the misinformation that comes in daily via media. Using the latest scientific research, The
Cell
illustrates the diversity of
cell
biology and what it all means for your everyday life."--From publisher.
