The over 10,000 entries in this comprehensive Dictionary of Cell and Molecular Biology provide clear and concise definitions for anyone working in life sciences today.
Progression of chronic diseases in general and chronic kidney disease in particular has been traditionally viewed in the light of various contributors to development of glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial scarring culminating in renal fibrosis.
Calmodulin and Signal Transduction focuses on emerging themes in the molecular mechanisms of calcium signal transduction through calmodulin-regulated pathways.
Cytometry is characterization and measurement of cells and cellular constituents, most often used to immunophenotype cells - that is, to distinguish healthy cells from diseased cells.
Wnt signaling in Development and Disease: Molecular Mechanisms and Biological Functions reviews the core topics in Wnt signaling, from molecular pathway mechanisms to its role in embryogenesis, adult tissue homeostasis, and chronic disease.
Due to its prolific reproduction and the external development of the transparent embryo, the zebrafish is the prime model for genetic and developmental studies, as well as research in genomics.
This publication contains full papers of both oral and poster presentations of the symposium "e;Immobilized Cells: Basics and Applications"e; that was held in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands, 26-29 November 1995.
Handbook of Biologically Active Peptides, Second Edition, is the definitive, indispensable reference for peptide researchers, biochemists, cell and molecular biologists, neuroscientists, pharmacologists, and endocrinologists.
Extensively revised, the fourth edition of this highly successful book takes into account the many newly determined protein structures that provide molecular insight into chemiosmotic energy transduction, as well as reviewing the explosive advances in 'mitochondrial physiology'-the role of the mitochondria in the life and death of the cell.
The efficient delivery of cellular constituents to their proper location is of fundamental importance for all cells and is of particular interest to neuroscientists, because of the unique functions and complex architecture of neurons.
The rapid growth of interest and research activity in ion channels is indicative of their fundamental importance in the maintenance of the living state.
Advances in Immunology, a long established and highly respected publication, presents current developments as well as comprehensive reviews in immunology.
The interdisciplinary field of regenerative medicine holds the promise of repairing and replacing tissues and organs damaged by disease and of developing therapies for previously untreatable conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, and renal failure.
While most books on dentistry describe the clinical and medical procedures involved, this book expands the field to examine the role of dentistry and teeth in everything from biology to biography.
The science of change from cells to cultureCells to Civilizations is the first unified account of how life transforms itself-from the production of bacteria to the emergence of complex civilizations.
Current Topics in Membranes provides a systematic, comprehensive, and rigorous approach to specific topics relevant to the study of cellular membranes.
Dieses fundierte Lehrbuch führt systematisch in die faszinierende Chemie des Lebens ein und vermittelt die essentiellen Grundlagen der Biochemie und organischen Chemie für Medizinstudierende und interessierte Leser.
Durante la mayor parte de la Historia de la Vida en nuestro planeta, el paisaje viviente semejó una desolada y remota playa en la que la mirada no pudiera descubrir ni rastro de animales o plantas.
