Glossary

本教材是在第一版的基礎上，由復旦大學生命學院細胞教學組牽頭，組織國內多所大學的10位多年從事細胞和分子生物學科研和教學的教授和專家改編完成。在繫統闡述細胞各部分的結構和功能的基礎上，重點介紹了細胞內外的物質運輸、信息傳遞、能量轉換、周期調控、分化發育、癌變、免疫、衰老與凋亡等細胞的重大生命活動。正文全文用英文撰寫，語言上盡量做到簡練與通俗，科學上做到準確與優選，既介紹細胞生物學的基本概念和基本原理，又反映各領域的發展前沿。為了便於讀者自學並同時掌握中英文雙語概念，全書改為彩圖版，各章結尾有思考題，教材的附錄為細胞生物學常用詞彙的中文解釋。
本雙語教材可供綜合性大學、師範院校、醫學院校、農林院校的本科生和研究生使用，也可供教師、科研人員與科教管理人員參考。
