Libro fundamental para cualquier estudiante de Biología o Medicina tanto humana como veterinaria. Sus capítulos estan diseñados para llevar al estudiante de la mano en su primer acercamiento a la Biología celular, cada capitulo también viene acompañado de asombrosas ilustraciones, casos clínicos, ejemplos reales y una sección final de cada capitulo con ejercicios que fortalecen el aprendizaje.

it's a great book for med students. to me, it has a lot of unnecessary facts about discoveries related to molecular biology. that's why i didn't give it 5 stars. i can sense why they're relevant, but i personally didn't enjoy it. i'm reviewing it just so i can get to my reading goal of this year, lol.
