Caenorhabditis elegans - An Overview and Emerging Roles in Studying Disease explores different disease models that have been successfully validated in this nematode, either to unravel disease mechanisms or to perform drug screenings.
The first edition of Medical Bioinformatics and Biochemistry (Diabormatics) explains how medical biochemistry and bioinformatics could be used as a tool for analyzing the research data related to disease diagnosis and treatment.
This book describes an overview of essential oils in its first section, describing the main genera of plants used for essential oils production and explaining their genetic polymorphisms that might have an impact on the biosynthesis of these phytochemicals.
It is widely accepted that the quadruplex, representing a supramolecular self-aggregate of guanine (G) containing recurrent units of four noncovalent interacting nucleobases (NBs) and one monovalent cation in DNA and RNA, has been associated with genome instability, transcription and replication of living cells.
Polyhydroxyalkanoates: Biosynthesis, Chemical Structures and Applications opens with an expose on employing extremophiles as polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) producers.
Lipid rafts are nanometer-sized subdomains of the plasma membrane containing higher concentrations of cholesterol, phosphatidylinositols, and sphingolipids.
Anchorage of a subset of cell surface proteins in eukaryotic cells from yeast to mammals is mediated by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol moiety covalently attached to the carboxy-terminus of the protein moiety.
Click chemistry, which is also referred to as linkage chemistry, dynamic, combinatorial chemistry or quick linking combinatorial chemistry describes the reaction that joins molecular fragments as simply, efficient and versatile as clicking a mouse.
Phenolic acids (PhAs), including hydroxybenzoic and cinnamic asids and their derivatives, are the products of secondary metabolism in plants and play important role in their growth and development.
Although initially described as major regulators of cytoskeletal remodeling, Rho GTPases have been implicated in the establishment of polarity, endocytosis, vesicle trafficking, morphogenesis, cytokinesis, transcriptional activation, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis, to mention a few.
This second edition volume expands on the first edition with new developments on Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) controlling events such as cross-priming of associated pattern recognition receptors, post-transcriptional regulation, interaction with other cellular and biologic systems, and cancer progression.
This book presents original research findings of The Million Person Study of Low-Dose Radiation Health Effects (MPS), the largest and most comprehensive epidemiologic study of its kind to investigate the health effects of low-level chronic radiation exposure on American workers and veterans throughout the 20th century.
