The Biogenesis of Cellular Organelles Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2005 Edition

The Biogenesis of Cellular Organelles Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2005 Edition represents a comprehensive summary of recent advances in the study of the biogenesis and functional dynamics of the major organelles operating in the eukaryotic cell. This book begins by placing the study of organelle biogenesis in a historical perspective by describing past scientific strategies, theories, and findings and relating these foundations to current investigations. Reviews of protein and lipid mediators important for organelle biogenesis are then presented, and are followed by summaries focused on the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, lysosome, nucleus, mitochondria, and peroxisome.
