The 5th edition of this successful Glossary has been completely revised, updated and supplemented by up-to-date terms used in genetic engineering and molecular genetics.
Candida, which was discovered more than a century ago as a causative organism of oral thrush, is now thought to potentially infect almost every tissue of the human body.
The last ten years have witnessed a remarkable increase in our awareness of the importance of events subsequent to transcriptional initiation in terms of the regulation and control of gene expression.
Autoimmune diseases are common and often associated with considerable morbidity or - in diseases such as IDDM, myasthenia gravis and multiple sclerosis - mortality.
In July 1989 a symposium was held at the Physiology Department of the Georg August University, G6ttingen, on the physiological, biophysical, biochemical, and technical principles of the coding of chemical substances both in nervous systems and artificial devices.
Individual cell and particle analysis in aquatic sciences isinvolved in many aspects of oceanography and limnology,including optical physics of particles, phytoplanktonphysiology and ecology, marine and aquatic microbiology andfood web interactions.
As indicated in the Preface, the contributions to this volume are based upon the papers presented at the symposium on Thermoreceptors and Temperature Regula- tion held in July 1988 at the Institute of Physiology of the University of Marburg (Federal Republic of Germany) to celebrate and commemorate the life and achievements of HERBERT HENSEL, who directed that Institute from 1955 until his death in 1983, and whose most notable and significant contributions to thermo- physiology were in the areas of the properties and characteristics of thermo sensors, mammalian thermoregulation more generally, and the psychophysiology of ther- mal sensation.
New techniques make it possible for investigators to examine and sometimes quantify various aspects of nuclear morphology and function; now they can derive clinically and biologically useful information about the nucleus.
Over the past few years there has been a remarkable and rapid development of modern analytical methods, and the fields of nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry have been no exception.
Evolution of Castes in Insects l BERNHARD RENSCH The evolution of organisms in the succession of generations has been primarilly achieved through the appearance of new hereditary variants with minor deviations along with the development of stable structures and functions.
Despite the many advances made during the last decade in various aspects of fungal biochemistry, there have been very few volumes devoted to the sub- ject in recent years.
The Fourth International Workshop on "e;In Vitro Effects of Mineral Dusts on Cells"e; was held on September 20 - 23, 1988 in Auberge Estrimont, Orford, Quebec, Canada.
A NATO Advanced study Institute on "e;Receptors, Membrane Trans- port and Signal Transduction"e;, was held on the Island of Spet- sai, Greece, from August 16-27, 1988, in order to consider re- cent developments in membrane receptor research, membrane trans- port and signal transduction mechanisms.
Membrane proteins, lipids and their glycosylated derivatives are discussed both with respect to their biosynthesis as well as regarding their mutual interaction and assembly into functional membranes.
Whereas platinum compounds are already clinically used as anticancer agents, tin compounds exhibiting high enough antitumour activity have not yet been found to enter the clinical phase.
The relatively simple, stratified nature of the retina and its spe- fied use in the visual process has long made it an inviting tissue to study both for its own sake and as a model for the more complex processes of the brain.
Dieses Sammelwerk gibt neben einer Einführung in die makroskopische Anatomie der Regenbogenforelle eine detaillierte Beschreibung der Histologie der einzelnen Organe bzw.
In order to provide a functional organisation of the various biochemical processes, the intracellular environment is subdivided into compartments formed by organelles.
Cytochromes c are haemoproteins which carry out electron transfer in a wide variety of biological systems, necessitating different kinds of cytochrome c to fulfill different biological roles.
The present new version of this popular laboratory manual is at the same time the first one of this text in the English language - and this makes me even a little proud, as it reminds me of probably the first collection of monoclonal recipes in English, written by myself, which circulated for a couple of years in many laboratories.
An overview of speciation theory reveals an increasingly held view that many events leading to the origin of new species occur in transient, unstable populations.
Advances in Comparative and Environmental Physiology helps biologists, physiologists, and biochemists keep track of the extensive literature in the field.
