Immediate-early genes are believed to be involved in the neuron's ability to con- vert short-term synaptic stimulation into long-lasting responses and thus contribute to the adaptive alterations involved in neuronal plasticity.
Physics, mathematics and chemistry all play a vital role in understanding the true nature and functioning of biological membranes, key elements of living processes.
Diversity and Functions of GABA Receptors: A Tribute to Hanns Mohler, Part B, a new volume of Advances in Pharmacology, presents the diversity and functions of GABA Receptors.
Several new developments in the field of neuroimmunology with focus on the brain-to-immune system communication have been the incentive for this PIR volume.
Even though transmitter release and re-uptake are very complementary and physically in close proximity, researchers usually focus on only one of these two aspects.
This book provides detailed and comprehensive information on oxidative damage caused by stresses in plants with especial reference to the metabolism of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Drawing especially on insights emerging from studies of the cellular networks formed by fungi, this book describes the fundamental indeterminacy that enables life forms to thrive in and create inconstant circumstances.
This volume contains protocols specifically designed for studying cell signaling mediated by ErbB receptors, all applicable to the study of a broad range of ErbB receptor-mediated signaling from basic research to clinic applications, from cultured cells to various animal models and primary cancer cells from patients.
This volume provides a detailed look at various biochemical and developmental aspects of fungal cell biology, and offers extensive information on model organisms of filamentous fungi, such as Aspergillus, and yeasts, such as Saccharomyces, while also highlighting molecular differences between ascomycetes and basidiomycetes.
Recapitulating The Stem Cell Niche Ex Vivo, Volume Six in the Advances in Stem Cells and their Niches series, highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on a variety of topics, including Recapitulating the bone marrow stem cell niche ex vivo, The generation of the liver ex vivo, Recapitulating the thymic stem cell niche ex vivo, Recapitulating the intestinal epithelium stem cell niche ex vivo, Recapitulating the lung stem cell niche in vitro, Recapitulating mammary tissue in vitro, and Recapitulating muscle in vitro.
Bayesian Approaches in Oncology Using R and OpenBUGS serves two audiences: those who are familiar with the theory and applications of bayesian approach and wish to learn or enhance their skills in R and OpenBUGS, and those who are enrolled in R and OpenBUGS-based course for bayesian approach implementation.
This book provides updated knowledge on the basic features and mechanisms of cellular aging established since its first manifestation at cellular level 40 years ago.
Oxidative modification of lipids and phospholipids-including radical damage, halogenation, and nitration-result in significant changes to the chemical properties of the molecules, which in turn have a major effect on their biochemical functions.
This book is the first comprehensive review of drebrin, which plays pivotal roles in various cellular events, via forming unique actin cytoskeletons, including synapse formation and in synaptic function.
The numerous ways in which man and animals are affected by their physical environment, and the inborn and adaptive responses to change in the "e;milieu exterieur"e; have fascinated curious minds since the earliest days of recorded history.
The book presents updated information on the cryopreservation of semen, embryos, germ cells and ovarian follicles of neotropical fish from South America.
