Cell Biology Links
Welcome to the Cell Biology links page. These links are provided as additional information to go along with the topics covered on my website. At the time of this posting, the links are all in working order, but if you come across one that doesn't work, please contact me at WWDD.
Online Cell Biology Texts and Manuals
The Biology Project: Cell Biology
From the University of Arizona, includes problem sets and tutorials.
This site will eventually hold about 500 peer-reviewed chapters. Included is material for which no good teaching text now exists. This is not introductory material.
Cell and Molecular Biology Online
A reference website for students and professionals, it goes far beyond introductory matters.
 |
Cell Biology at Kimball's Biology Includes animal cells, the cell cycle, chloroplasts, chromosomes, golgi apparatus, mitosis and meiosis, the nucleus, photo-synthesis, polyploidy, ribosomes, stem cells and more. |
Cell Biology Laboratory Manual
A cell biology laboratory is composed of an assortment of techniques and procedures collected over a period of time by the author.
This is a comprehensive reference website with links to excellent resources.
This page discusses pre-evolutionary concepts and hypotheses regarding the origin of the universe and the first forms of life (abiogenesis). Together with a second page, the development of cellular life and microscopy is explained.
By Harvey Lodish, et al., Fourth Edition.
Are you a high school student or teacher? If you are either, then you might want to check out this page first.
A Web Atlas of Cellular Structures
Displays a series of light and confocal micrographs of a variety of subcellular structures and organelles. Useful for people interested in cytology who do not have access to advanced imaging technologies or biological expertise.
While still a work in progress, the completed pages tend to be easy to understand by someone at the introductory level. Lots of links also.
Microscopy
MicroAngela explores the microscopic world with colorized images from electron microscopes at the Univ. of Hawaii. Check out things that grow on and in you and all around you.
History of the Light Microscope
This site provides links to various other sites containing information pertaining to the Light Miscroscope.
Resources for K-12 teachers & students.
This library contains material published in Micscape Magazine, the monthly magazine of Microscopy-UK, since 1995. Articles are grouped into areas such as biology, botany, insects and marine animals.
Bibliography and links to other microscopy sites. This site has albums of microscopic photos at Molecular Expressions Photo Gallery.
Stem Cells
Bush's Stem Cell Decision: Full text
As a result of private research, more than 60 genetically diverse stem cell lines already exist. They were created from embryos that have already been destroyed, and they have the ability to regenerate themselves indefinitely, creating ongoing opportunities for research.
NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry
The registry of human embryonic stem cell lines approved by the NIH includes 67 lines at 11 institutions, and describes characteristics for some.
Stem Cell Hope for Parkinson's
Scientists are closer to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease using special "master cells" taken from embryos. Researchers have used the cells successfully to treat mice and rats which mimicked symptoms of the human condition.
Explains the difference between adult and pluripotent stem cells, how they are derived; and why pluripotent stem cells hold such great promise for advances in health care.
Stem Cells Promise Liver Repair
UK scientists have shown how cells from transplanted bone marrow can turn into liver tissue.
Topics Within Cell Biology
The photo galleries, video cams, articles and other resources at this website may be what you are looking for.
Diagrams with explanations represent important processes of biotechnology.
The citric acid cycle, also called the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) or Krebs cycle, is the final common catabolic pathway for the oxidation of fuel molecules.
Vaults were discovered in 1986 and their precise function remains unknown. Because there are thousands of them in all cells of higher organisms and because the particle has been highly conserved throughout evolution, it is likely that vault function is important to all cells.
