In this presentation, efforts have been made to elucidate the different aspects, which are directly or indirectly are linked students of life sciences and pharmacy.
This book is self-reliant record, since all the salient features are extensively covered in an elaborate and self-explanatory manner.
The book will serve as a source book for students of cellular and molecular life sciences.
