The continuous progress in the understanding of molecular processes of disease formation and progression attributes an increasing importance to biomedical molecular imaging methods.
This volume explores various aspects of reversible acetylation of histone and non-histone proteins, focusing on their roles in development, ageing and disease progression.
This book describes transcription factors in the context of hematopoietic development and reveal mechanistic insights how they orchestrate specific gene expression patterns.
This book concerns two subthemes, 'temperature sensing' and 'temperature-responding systems', addressing the questions of how temperature is sensed and how temperature is related to biological functions, respectively.

This book provides an overview of cell-based therapy for human diseases including the definition, history, and clinical applications of human stem cells and their use in regenerative medicine.
The emerging role of gut microbiota and postbiotics has implications for the management of not only human health and diseases, but also colorectal cancer in particular, as these elements influence colorectal cancer pathogenesis, treatment, and prevention.
Now in its second edition, this concise textbook provides an overview of the field of nutrigenomics, a topic at the intersection of nutrition and genetics that explores how dietary molecules interact with our genome and epigenome to influence health and disease.

This comprehensive textbook presents a self-contained guide to bioinformatics, defined in its broadest sense as the application of information science to biology.
Foams and froths are an important feature of everyday life; one only has to think of shaving foam, foam upholstery, fire fighting foam, bread, bear head, and ice cream.
Immobilized functional biomolecules, particularly enzymes, are important tools in biotechnology, biochemistry, biochemical engineering, biomedicine and biosensor research.
The 4-quinolone antibacterial agents have been under development and in use for over 25 years, but despite an enormous body of research work there are still many basic questions that remain unanswered.
After many years of relative neglect, the importance of study of factors governing blood flow has at last achieved recognition; in this volume are documented many of the techniques, and the basic scientific and clinical observations, which have helped to open up understanding of this highly important aspect of human physiology and pathology in recent years.
Profound progress has been made in the fields of chronobiology and psychobiology within the past decade, in theory, experiment and clinical application.
Preface to the Second Edition Since publication of the first edition, continuing developments in histopathology have motivated the inclusion of four new chapters: cytology, immunohistology, quality control and assessment, and the autopsy.
Even though life expectancy increased in the last decades, ageing has been considered a strong risk factor for age-related diseases, disability and death.
This book provides a comprehensive understanding of cellular senescence, which is a phenomenon, characterized by the irreversible arrest of cell growth and is accompanied by the secretion of various factors, collectively known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which can have detrimental effects on surrounding cells and tissues.

This book provides an overview of various drug delivery systems at the cellular level including biological, chemical methods, and most importantly physical methods such as photoporation, electroporation, mechanoporation, and device-based techniques (e.
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are a class of RNA molecules that do not encode proteins but play pivotal roles in regulating gene expression and cellular processes.
