But it is, in fact, this dual background that encourages me to write this monograph in order to show how our knowledge of cell division has gone from the morphological description of mitosis to the molecular basis of the cell cycle. The protagonist of the booklet is the dividing mammalian cell and I will refer to bacteria adn lower animals only when necessary for a better understanding of molecular processes."
