Topic Index - Cells

: Developmental Biology-Education Table of Contents
Educators and students can stop here for valuable, relevant information about teaching and learning developmental biology-from the kindergarten through college levels. Sections cover books, videos, and CD-ROMs; courses and resources on the web; labs; "Ask a Developmental Biology Question"; exam questions, and hints to enliven lectures. This is the Education section of the main web site for the Society for Developmental Biology.

The Interactive Fly
This cyberspace guide to Drosophila genes and their roles in development is packed with information and photographic images. Indexes list genes in alphabetical order, by biochemical function, and by developmental function and biochemical pathways. Visitors can study developmental processes. The biochemical information presented is based on recent experimental work, most of it carried out during the last 10 years.

Magnetic Resonance Microscopy of Embryos
A fascinating look at images of human and mouse embryos at various stages, with both surface views and cross-sections. The site doesn't offer much in the way of explanatory text; rather, it offers information about the project and research (e.g., National Institute of Child Health and Human Development collaboration to create a 3D image reference of the human embryo based on magnetic resonance microscopy; magnetic resonance of embryos; introduction and account of how images were acquired; Brad Smith's research and the Center for In Vivo Microscopy; and collaborators and related web sites).

Developmental Biology Tutorial: The Virtual World of Development
This clear, carefully developed tutorial supplements developmental biology lectures by introducing participants to the dynamics of embryonic development. Numerous diagrams, micrographs, and movies illustrate tutorials examining such topics as fertilization, cleavage, gastrulation, neurulation, and the development of a variety of animals-including frogs, fish, Drosophila, chicks, and humans.

Fishscope
Time lapse recordings and confocal images dealing with the developmental biology of fish. From the Department of Zoology at the University of Washington.

Bugs in the News!
This engaging collection of timely articles explores topics related to microorganisms and cell biology in a conversational, friendly way. The home page links to the latest Feature Articles (e.g., "What the Heck Is a Bacterium's `Tail'?"). Or try the fun, informative articles in the What the Heck Is ... ? series (e.g., "What the Heck Is `Mad Cow' Disease?") and in the General Interest collection (e.g., "Bacteria Causes Ulcers? You're Kidding!").

Cell Biology Course
People wishing to learn more about various aspects of cell biology can peruse this collection of information-packed, richly illustrated tutorials covering a breadth of topics-introduction to cell biology methods; recombinant DNA technology; the cell nucleus; gene expression and therapy; membrane structure and function; organelles involved in intracellular transport and sorting; energy production and cell signaling; the cytoskeletal system; cell division and the cell cycle; cell division and the formation of germ cells; and the immune system and cancer. The site features web-page "handouts."

Cell & Molecular Biology Online
This resource for the biology community focuses on information for cell and molecular biologists. It sifts through the vast amounts of biology material on the web and suggests sites that are especially useful and well-organized-most of which are jumping points for further exploration in a specific area. The site offers links helpful in cell/molecular biology research; electronic publications; "cool bio stuff"; career resources; methods and reagents; educational and teaching resources; current research; practical resources, "What's New!", and frequently asked questions.

Cells alive!
Intriguing movies and animations show cells in action-such as "Ouch! Anatomy of a Splinter," "Penicillin," and "Helicobacter pylori." A thumbnail-graphics gallery describes the function or process illustrated in the animation or film. This collection is a great teaching/learning tool; movies are easily downloaded and shown with Simple Player.

The Dictionary of Cell Biology, Second Edition
This online, searchable dictionary provides quick access to easily understood and cross-referenced definitions of terms (approximately 5,500 entries and nearly 6,000 cross-references) frequently encountered when reading the modern biology literature.

MIT Biology Hypertextbook
This "hypertextbook" for cell/molecular biology and genetics (designed to supplement MIT's introductory biology course materials) is logically organized with chapters, pages, major sections, and so on-complete with color visuals and illustrative tables. Chapters are Chemistry Review, Large Molecules, Cell Biology, Enzyme Biochemistry, Glycolosis and the Krebs Cycle, Photosynthesis, Central Dogma, Mendelian Genetics, Prokaryotic Genetics and Gene Expression, Recombinant DNA, and Immunology. It contains an introduction, searchable index, quizzes with answer keys, and practice problems.

Virtual Cell
Journey through a single, isolated plant cell with Virtual Cell-collection of still images, explanatory text, and movies exploring the structure and function of a typical plant cell. A simple click and touch of the mouse on the displayed object enables you to search through the chloroplast, thylakoid, mitochondrion, crista, or nucleus. Use navigational tools to zoom, cut, or turn the object; read more written information; see an electron micrograph; zero in on highlighted "hotspots"; or play an animated GIF movie demonstrating the function of the main object.

It contains an introduction, searchable index, quizzes with answer keys, and practice problems.

Virtual Cell
Journey through a single, isolated plant cell with Virtual Cell-collection of still images, explanatory text, and movies exploring the structure and function of a typical plant cell. A simple click and touch of the mouse on the displayed object enables you to search through the chloroplast, thylakoid, mitochondrion, crista, or nucleus. Use navigational tools to zoom, cut, or turn the object; read more written information; see an electron micrograph; zero in on highlighted "hotspots"; or play an animated GIF movie demonstrating the function of the main object. A great, interactive supplement for a lecture or lab.; The Dictionary of Cell Biology, Second Edition; This online, searchable dictionary provides quick access to easily understood and cross-referenced definitions of terms (approximately 5,500 entries and nearly 6,000 cross-references) frequently encountered when reading the modern biology literature.
