Summary

The third edition of this successful monograph has been both updated and broadened. Since the second edition was published in 2000, the structures of the bacterial and eukaryotic ribosomes have been published, adding substantially to our knowledge of the basic mechanisms of translation. Our understanding of how translation is regulated, by both protein and RNA regulators, has also advanced considerably. In addition, as the new title states, the current manifestation of this authoritative volume has a significant focus on the role of translational control in human development and disease. This book, with its 30 chapters written by experts in the field, is essential reading for anyone interested in the process of translation, its regulation, and how its failure can cause disease.
