It also describes the role of disease cells in the human body, and how new knowledge about cells provides hope for the treatment of illnesses such as cancer and muscular dystrophy.Jeanne DuPrau is the author of 'The KidHaven Science Library - Cells', published 2001 under ISBN 9780737706475 and ISBN 0737706473.
