Medical Cell Biology 3rd Edition (2007) (PDF) by Steven R. Goodman

Description

Medical Cell Biology, Third Edition, focuses on the scientific aspects of cell biology important to medical students, dental students, veterinary students, and prehealth undergraduates. With its National Board-type questions, this book is specifically designed to prepare students for this exam.

The book maintains a concise focus on eukaryotic cell biology as it relates to human and animal disease, all within a manageable 300-page format. This is accomplished by explaining general cell biology principles in the context of organ systems and disease.
This updated version contains 60% new material and all new clinical cases. New topics include apoptosis and cell death from a neural perspective; signal transduction as it relates to normal and abnormal heart function; and cell cycle and cell division related to cancer biology.

User’s Reviews

Review “The Third Edition of Medical Cell Biology by Steven Goodman is a highly-readable cell biology textbook designed specifically for medical students. The use of clinical cases builds a framework for the basic concepts and helps reinforce understanding. Every medical student should arm him or herself with this book as preparation for the board exam.”–John Clancy, Jr., PhD, Professor and Chair, Department of Cell Biology, Neurobiology, and Anatomy, Loyola University, Chicago, Illinois; President of the Association of Anatomy, Cell Biology, and Neurobiology Chairs “An extremely valuable book for undergraduate, graduate and health professional students that is essential to learning contemporary cell biology, both from the historical standpoint, and from the current literature.”– Ian S. Zagon, PhD, Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, Hershey, Pennsylvania –This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition. Review Concise textbook on medical cell biology intended for students in medical, dental, veterinary and pre-health professional degree programs at the undergraduate and advanced degree level. –This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

⭐ This is truly a great book with a nice overall organization and plenty of diagrams and figures to help you out as a reader. I simply enjoy a good reference book and bought this as a runner to better understand the physiology/histology of running. My main aim was to gain a better understanding of the mitochondria and oxidative phosphorylation which it addresses nicely. I am not saying this addresses running at all – but if you are a coach or exercise enthusiast that have come across concepts relating to histology (i.e the Mitochondria and ATP) this book will help you develop a deeper understanding, I think, of these concepts. It does help me – but I simply enjoy such reading.So – depending on your specific interests and background this is obviously a very specialized book not intended as a NYT best seller, but is a very wonderful resource for folks interested in the cellular side of biology. ⭐ Very readable summary of basic/introductory “one cell” cell biology, w/ clinical cases scattered throughout. ⭐ Great ⭐ this book is very detailed if your looking to learn about cell biology. It gives a lot of in-depth descriptions of the operations of the cell and the key roles it plays in te body. ⭐ The Kindle version of this book doesn’t work as it should; gets stuck looping through the same few paragraphs constantly. Sometimes you can get it to go to the next location with a goto command, but in some areas even that won’t work. A trouble ticket exists but has not been resolved; if it doesn’t get fixed soon I’ll have to return it; as is I’m spending more time trying to transition to the next portion of text than I am actually reading it. To bad, because with the Kindle version even a lay person as me can get the jist of this material due to the definition feature of Kindle books. ⭐ This book helped get me through grad school. Cell bio wasn’t as hard as biochem or some others, but it wasn’t trivial. The only alternative at the time was Alberts, which was great, but it was also thick enough to stop a rifle bullet. This book offered enough detail to be practical and thorough if you happened to not have the spare week reading the equivalent section in Alberts would require. ⭐ Dense, but well-written. Required reading by my medical school; an excellent condensation of larger basic science texts such as Alberts’ Molecular Biology of the Cell. Excellent cases, with some interesting historical details. Cons: hasn’t been updated since 2008; the CD that came with it doesn’t appear to work with Windows 8, so I couldn’t access the review questions. ⭐ Honestly, this has to be the worst written textbook I have ever read. This book has applicable clinical cases and all the information needed for a medical student. However, the layout and language is so illustrious is it like reading a novel. The organization is awful. Unfortunately, I am bound to use this textbook because of my studies. The essential cell biology book is a lot better and I would highly reccomend it. This book is just a result of poor editiing and over compensation for language use. ⭐ This book is the absolute worst textbook I have come across in my studies in medical school. Although the information presented in this book is rich in details. But for what this book provides in detail, it compensates for by using very very very POOR LANGUAGE. The syntax used is awful. The book often uses experiments to explain the most simple concepts of cellular function and structure. However, in the midst of the experimental analysis, it often tends to go on wild tangents and strays from making the most important points relevant to the discussion. There are an amazing number of run on sentences present in this text. Comparatively speaking, this book turns a fairly easy subject (compared to the disciplines of Physiology, Biochemistry, and Anatomy) seem like a nightmare. This is a unanimous conception amongst my colleagues in medical school.To illustrate my point even further, the following is a selection from this textbook (pg. 118) :The integral proteins may be cargo themselves en route for function in another membrane, but they may also be transmembrane receptor proteins with binding sites on the luminal side of the membrane for binding to soluble proteins, thus concentrating the soluble proteins on the luminal side of the membrane where a vesicle will form. ⭐ I am very pleased with the book. It has every aspect of cellular biology in it. I would recommend this book to any student, or anyone who just wants to learn about cell biology. EXCELENT BOOK!!!
