ASCB Exploring the Cell Booklet

Introduction

Start by looking at the PDF booklet produced by the American Society for Cell Biology Exploring the Cell. This brief 11 page booklet (1.9 Mb PDF) introduces some basic concepts about cells in an easy to understand format.

Also by way of background reading, look also at some historic articles from JCB Archive.

Textbook

Essential Cell Biology (2nd ed.) Alberts, etal. 2003, is recommended for this course and page references are given in lectures. This textbook is a simplified (shortened) version of Molecular Biology of the Cell, listed below.

Online Cell Biology textbooks are also available from NCBI Bookshelf.

  • Molecular Biology of the Cell Alberts, Bruce; Johnson, Alexander; Lewis, Julian; Raff, Martin; Roberts, Keith; Walter, Peter New York and London: Garland Science; c2002 Bookshelf Link
  • Molecular Cell Biology 4th ed., Lodish, Harvey; Berk, Arnold; Zipursky, S. Lawrence; Matsudaira, Paul; Baltimore, David; Darnell, James E., New York: W. H. Freeman & Co., 1999. The Cell- A Molecular Approach Bookshelf Link
  • The Cell - A Molecular Approach 2nd ed., Cooper, Geoffrey M., Sunderland (MA): Sinauer Associates, Inc., 2000. Bookshelf Link

There are also a number of other Bookshelf texts which may also contain useful information for your project.

Journals

The Journal of Cell Biology, BMC Cell Biology and Public Library of Science allow reuse of content provided the article is properly cited.


  • BMC Cell Biology
    • BMC Cell Biology
    • Journal Archive 2000 to 2009
    • BMC Cell Biology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of cell biology including cellular compartments, traffic, signalling, motility, adhesion and division.
      • Note: Articles with the blue open access logo are immediately and permanently available online. Unrestricted use, distribution and reproduction in any medium is permitted, provided the article is properly cited. BMC Charter


  • Public Library of Science
  • There are several cell biology relevant journals published by PLoS.
    • PLoS ONE
    • PLoS Biology
    • PLoS Medicine
      • Note: "Everything PLoS publish is freely available online for you to read, download, copy, distribute, and use (with attribution) any way you wish."


The following journals will also be useful for your project research, but do not allow reuse of content without permission.


  • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Other Journals

Some of these journals allow only abstract viewing from computers outside the University. Within the University, if the library subscribes, you should be able to access the full papers. Note that you can also see abstracts from a PubMed search.

Medline Database

MEDLINE is a literature database of life sciences and biomedical information containing review and research articles. See also Project Referencing to generate references within your project, a reference list on your page and formatting the pubmed reference link.

  • Pubmed" MEDLINE is the National Library of Medicine (NLM) USA premier bibliographic database covering the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system, and the preclinical sciences." (NCBI)
    • MH - I would prefer reference links to be added pointing to this database.
  • UNSW also has the MEDLINE database available through the Library using Sirius.
    • While it is essentially the same reference database, some papers will have different access rights based upon the university's subscriptions.

Searching with nearly any term will result in a large number of results that can be made more specific by either:

  1. Using "Preview/Index" option to carry out an additional search and then combining with your first result. (#1 AND #2) or
  2. Using "Limits" option to set limits on your search results. (review, years, english, etc)

OMIM Database

  • OMIM
    • "OMIM is a comprehensive, authoritative, and timely compendium of human genes and genetic phenotypes. The full-text, referenced overviews in OMIM contain information on all known mendelian disorders and over 12,000 genes. OMIM focuses on the relationship between phenotype and genotype."
    • (MH - this is an excellent reference source for your individual projects)

Medical Dictionary

Project Referencing

Project Referencing this page will give specific information on how to insert references on your Wiki page.

Images

You cannot copy images from the cell biology textbooks Molecular Biology of the Cell, Molecular Cell Biology or The Cell- A Molecular Approach to your project.

  • You can include the content as an external link.
  • Use an abbreviation of the journal title (MBoC, MBC, Cell) separated by a hyphen "-" and the figure title.

Text

Any direct use of text within your project should be avoided. If absolutely necessary, should be included in quotations with a link to the original content.
