Abstract
We review and salute the third edition of E.B. Wilson's "The Cell in Development and Heredity" published a century ago, noting its unique features and placing them in context. Brief commentaries from colleagues convey how they have encountered and have been influenced by The Cell. Although soon to be 100 years old, Wilson's 1925 edition is a hallmark of our profession, reminding us of a time when certain scholars were able to advance knowledge with a singularity of both mind and pen. Our purpose is to acknowledge the accomplishment by the man who brought together so many different facets of understanding cells and who many regard as the founder of cell biology in the United States. We reflect on the volume's admirable success and bring together perspectives on why it still matters.
我们对一个世纪前出版的威尔逊（E.B. Wilson）《发育和遗传中的细胞》（The Cell in Development and Heredity）第三版进行了回顾和致敬，指出了它的独特之处，并将其置于上下文中进行分析。同行们的简短评论传达了他们是如何接触到《细胞》并受其影响的。尽管威尔逊的 1925 年版《细胞》即将面世 100 年，但它仍是我们这个专业的标志，让我们回想起某些学者以独特的思想和笔触推动知识进步的时代。我们的目的是肯定他的成就，是他将人们对细胞的理解汇集到如此多不同的方面，并被许多人视为美国细胞生物学的奠基人。我们对该书令人钦佩的成功进行了反思，并汇集了有关该书为何仍然重要的观点。
