Cell Cycle and Development

The Novartis Foundation is an international scientific and educational charity which promotes the study and general knowledge of science and in particular encourages international co-operation in scientific research.

"These thirteen articles, and the full discussion that follows each, derive from papers given by specialists... at an April 2000 symposium in London." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 4, December 2001)
