The Cell: Organisation, Functions and Regulatory Mechanisms is a textbook written for students and scholars studying cell biology at various levels. The study of cell biology is an essential component of the syllabi at undergraduate and postgraduate levels in universities and colleges that offer courses in biochemistry, biotechnology, genetics, molecular biology, immunology, zoology, botany, toxicology and medical, nursing, paramedical, pharmaceutical and agricultural sciences.

This book provides a perfect blend of basic and applied knowledge in the area of cell sciences using the latest examples and experiments. It includes chapters on the structure and composition of the cell its constituent structures and molecules properties of these structures and molecules as well as the  various regulatory mechanisms of cellular processes in both healthy and diseased states. The simplicity of the  language used ensures that it can be understood by students who are non-native speakers of English and also by scholars who do not have an in-depth knowledge of the subject but would like to get acquainted with it while working in their respective areas of study.
