Features: This book consists of five parts and 16 chapters. Part I: Introduction, Part II: Molecular Biology of the Cell Membrane, Part III: Cytoplasm and Organelles, Part IV: The Nucleus (including gene expression and protein biosynthesis, genetic engineering) and its functions, Part V: Cell Proliferation, Differentiation, and Natural Apoptosis. The book is systematically arranged, striving for scientific rigor and ensuring the scientific nature of the intrinsic connections of cellular life activities. Another feature of the book is its reflection of major scientific events in life sciences at the end of the 20th century, mainly including mammalian cloning technology marked by the birth of the cloned sheep "Dolly," the Human Genome Project (HGP), and cell natural apoptosis.
