In this article we introduce to best cytology or cell biology reference books for your graduate, undergraduate and Research related studies.
Before to start the article let’s to give a brief introduction about cytology.
Cytology is a branch of biology science, whose study about cells. Cell biology is a second name of it. Cytology or cell biology is not only main subject of biology students but also an important subject for all students who belong to biology branches like microbiology, Botany, Zoology or life science students. Study or doing preparation for CSIR life science exam or NET, SET, exam we also preferred for it.
Cell Biology written by Pollard, Lippincott-Schwartz & Johnson
We first preferred reference book is “Cell Biology “written by Thomas D. Pollard, William C Earns haw, Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz & Graham T. Johnson, official published by Elsevier. This is the best book of for cell biology studies, in this book contain 10 sections and total 46 chapters. The book covered all major topics related to cell cytology, in the first section define about cell introduction and the evolution of life. Second section define cell structures chemical compositions and physical background about the in the third section define cells genetic material its organization structure life DNA packaging and nuclear structure.
Fourth section introduce central dogma, gene expression out presses RNA out synthesis protein. Fifth section is the membrane section means the section define about membrane structures and its functions. Membrane is the main part of the cell because membrane gives save and protection through physical damages. The sixth section define deferent kinds of cell organ and its importance, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplast, Golgi body, peroxisome and many more kinds of cell organelles may be defended in this section. Cell signaling, cell cycle, cell junction, Cytoskeletal PCD (program cell death) and May more topics are covered in this book.
Molecular Biology Written by Gerald Karp
Cell and molecular biology written by Gerald Karp published by john Wiley and sons is one of the best book for cell biology and molecular biology studies. In this book contain eighteen chapters, the first chapter is an introduction chapter, it give a brief information about cell and molecular biology second chapter give the basic knowledge about chemicals that how to involve cells in our life.
Enzymes and its metabolism, plasma membrane, respiration, photosynthesis, chloroplast and its importance for plants topics are available in the third to six chapters. Cell function, cytoskeleton and its role for cell structure and motility, cell interaction topics covered in seventh and eighth chapter. Cell reproduction, DNA replication, cell signaling, cancer cell and many topics are covered in this book. Karp cell and molecular biology such a great book for cytology studies.
Molecular Biology of The Cell Written by Bruce Alberts
Molecular biology of the cell written by Bruce Alberts, Alexzander Johnson, Julian Lewis, David morgen, marten raff, Keith Roberts and peter Walter published by garland science is the third suggested reference book for cytology and also use for molecular biology studies. This is the most popular book between teachers and students. Book divided into five parts and contain twenty four chapters.
The first part of this book is an introduction part of the cell, in this part give information about cell and its genome introduction and give the information about proteins and deferent types of cell chemicals. Second part is a genetic part in this section define chromosome, DNA, DNA replication, DNA damage and repair and gene expression. Third part are define that how to cells work. Fourth section is introduce to cell structure its organization and also structural protein, cytoskeleton, cell signaling, cell membrane, cell cycle topics, and the last part define about cell junction, cell immune system and how to react when pathogens infect the cells and also give information about cancer and stem cells.
