This book makes Cell Biology come alive. After seven editions, Dr. Karp is ready to move on to other adventures. We are excited to take on the challenge of continuing to teaching cell biology approach by Dr. With our new Experimental Walkthrough feature, available in WileyPLUS Learning Space, students can see first-hand how key experimental techniques are performed in the lab. These offer a mix of video, which shows how researchers carry out experiments, and 3D animations that show a molecular-level view of how the experiments work.
These Walkthroughs provide a visual explanation and context that helps make these important experimental techniques more concrete. A solid understanding of quantitative concepts is becoming increasingly important within cell biology but is an area that many students struggle with.
To address this issue, we have also added another new video feature, called Quantitative Tutorials, to visually illustrate how to solve specific analytical questions at the end of each chapter. Chapter 3: Bioenergetics, Enzymes, and Metabolism. Chapter 5: Aerobic Respiration and the Mitochondrion. Chapter 6: Photosynthesis and the Chloroplast. For over two decades, Dr. During this time, he maintained a consistent focus on combining rigor with accessibility, so that even students without prior training in cell biology, molecular biology, or biochemistry have been able to learn cell biology not just as a collection of facts but as a process of discovery.
The value of this approach is that the lessons learned extend far beyond the field of cell biology, and provide a way for students to learn how science works, how new experiments can overturn previous dogmas, and how new techniques can lead to groundbreaking discovery.
This approach makes cell biology come alive. After seven editions, Dr. Karp was ready to move on to other adventures. We were excited to take on the challenge of continuing Dr.

One key feature of the past editions was to highlight how cell biology impacts our daily lives, in terms of medicine and other areas of society. The Human Perspectives sections highlight human interest stories to reinforce and review basic cell biology, and also provide examples of how fundamental discoveries have progressed into clinical practice.
We have expanded this feature so that now every chapter has at least one Human Perspectives section. As part of this feature we report on the latest clinical trials for various cell biology-based therapies and drugs, a feature that we hope will inspire students who are pursuing careers in health sciences fields.
We hope that this will give our readers the opportunity to think more about the links between science, society, and our place in the universe. In the ninth edition we have introduced two new sections for each chapter. Green Cells sections highlight important features of plant cell biology that underscore central concepts from each chapter and illustrate how the study of plants has informed our understanding of cells in general.
Engineering Linkages sections address the interface between cell biology and biomedical engineering and are intended to make the cell biology material more accessible for engineering students while introducing biology students to important trends in bioengineering. Working on the 9th edition has given us renewed admiration for Dr. We welcome your ideas and feedback as we continue our work on this text, so please feel free to get in touch.
