Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This work provides a comprehensive scientific overview of anucleate systems - cells or cell fragments that lack a nucleus but remain metabolically active. It explores the unique biology of these systems, such as platelets and mature red blood cells, examining their structure, function, and lifespan. A central focus of the book is on the effects of ionizing radiation on these anucleate cells. It delves into the mechanisms of radiation-induced damage to membranes and cytoplasmic components in the absence of nuclear DNA, and the subsequent cellular responses. The volume serves as a specialized reference for researchers in cell biology, hematology, and radiobiology. -- Contents: Preface; 1.
