Beyond a pedagogical tool: 30 years of Molecular biology of the cell

Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol. 2013 Feb;14(2):120-5. doi: 10.1038/nrm3513.

Abstract

In 1983, a bulky and profusely illustrated textbook on molecular and cell biology began to inhabit the shelves of university libraries worldwide. The effect of capturing the eyes and souls of biologists was immediate as the book provided them with a new and invigorating outlook on what cells are and what they do.
