5.0 out of 5 stars Libro stupendo
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseQuesto libro è davvero fatto bene ad avendo due materie universitarie che lo richiedevano, ho deciso di acquistarlo, ovviamente la versione con la copertina flessibile. Il libro è chiaro e organizzato bene e al suo interno si possono trovare un cd e una mappa contenente tutti i signalling pathways che si studiano (bellissima!!). Lo consiglio. La spesa non è irrisoria, ma a mio parere li vale tutti.

5.0 out of 5 stars C'est BIEN
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseVraiment rapide et répondant parfaitement à nos attentes qui sont des attentes laborieuses.
Là comme souvent c'est celui qui lit qui devrait donner son avis et non celui qui commande l'ouvrage.
Bien reçu donc et merci
