Читать книгу Introduction to the Human Cell - Danton PhD O'Day - Страница 19

Throughout this book we will touch upon all of the topics covered in this chapter and how they apply to specific diseases. We will look at how membrane proteins mediate not only cell adhesion but how cells communicate with each other to regulate their behavior. We’ll see how these interactions change in cancer cells as well. While we won’t be focusing on the carbohydrates and lipids as much as proteins, they are still critical to many of the topics that we will cover. They are also important to cell structure and function as a whole and in the disease process.
