Recent advances in molecular biology have shown GTPases and phosphoproteins to be the paramount molecular switches uti- lized intracellularly in biological systems.
Major advances have been made in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of atherosclerosis, the disease that still affects more than 50 percent of the population in the highly industrialized countries.
Advances in molecular biology describing important enzyme systems involved in drug conjugation and deconjugation reactions and recent work indicating the importance of drug and xenobiotic conjugates as transport forms of biologically active compounds are reviewed comprehensively.
It has been almost 20 years since the discovery by Kohler and Milstein of the technology to produce monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), a discovery that promised revolutionary changes in research, clinical diagnosis and human therapy.
This volume of Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology was planned in parallel with an EM BO workshop on cell-cell Interactions in Leukocyte Homing and Differentiation held at the Basel Institute for Immunology in November 1992, and many of the workshop speakers have contributed to it.
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a brand-new analytical me- thod with the capability of solving many analytical separa- tion problems very fast and economically.
The intriguing complexity, precision, and regulation of the wide range of biologi- cal processes is determined by intricate mechanisms of molecular recognition.
I am honored to have been invited to write a foreword for this book, because tumors of the yolk sac have been a preoccupation of mine since the days of my residency, now more than 3 decades ago.
Advances in Comparative and Environmental Physiology helps biologists, physiologists, and biochemists keep track of the extensive literature in the field.
In this volume the impact of cell culture models ondermatological research is discussed by scientists frommedicine, physiology, biology, pharmacology,and pharmacy.
In this book the editors have brought together the widest group of investigators of the cytochrome P450 superfamily in order to present complete and right up-to-date coverage of this important enzyme system.
In 1957 Otto SCHAUMANN, one of the pionieers in pharmacological research on morphine and the first to prepare synthetic opiates, presented a mono- graph entitled "e;Morphin und morphiniihnliche Verbindungen"e; as Volume 12 of the Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology.
Fluorescence spectroscopy has found wide spread application in many areas of science and medicine, including physics, chemistry, biology, biochemistry, clinical medicine, cytology, immunology, hydrogeology, and environmental sciences.
Studies on the colon not only serve medical interest or clinical purposes, but are also a highly interesting subject of comparative physiology, from which we can learn much about the basic principles in physiology.
Immunology is largely a science of observation and experimentation, and these approaches have lead to great increases in our knowledge of the genes, molecules and cells of the immune system.
This volume intends to provide a comprehensive overview on the mecha- nisms of muscle contraction and non-muscle cell motility at the molecu- lar and cellular level, not only for investigators in these fields but also for general readers interested in these topics.
This volume is the final outcome of a conference designed to wrap up IOCP Project 157 ("e; Early Organic Evolution and Mineral and Energy Resources "e;) after a decade of prolific activity.
Volumes five and six of Bioorganic Marine Chemistry differ from their predecessors in two respects - they deal exclusively with laboratory synthesis of marine natural products and they represent the effort of a single author and his associates.
