Das Lehrbuch behandelt in fünf Kapiteln die allgemein-biologischen Grundlagen krankhafter Prozesse und berücksichtigt sowohl die Mechanismen der kausalen und formalen Pathogenese wie auch ihr morphologisch-strukturelles Erscheinungsbild.
Plant growth and development is controlled by various environmental cues that are sensed by the plant via various signal transduction pathways coupled to specific response.
Years ago when we were asked to write a book on the present-day knowledge of the molecular biology of poliovirus, we did not expect that such an apparently simple task could involve so much time and effort.
Biologists ask how the growth, development and behaviour of organisms happen, how these processes are co-ordinated and how they are regulated by the environment.
There has been recent rapid progress in the transformation of plants with foreign DNA, making use either of the natural routes of genetic invasion that viruses and bacteria have developed, or of chemical, mechanical and electrical tricks to make plant protoplast membranes permeable to nucleic acids.
First attempts to isolate plant genes were for those genes that are abun- dantly expressed in a particular plant organ at a specific stage of devel- opment.
Many fungi and bacteria that associate with plants are potentially harmful and can cause disease, while others enter into mutually beneficial sym- bioses.
The anther tapetum, present in all land plants, is a highly specialized, transient tissue surrounding the (micro-)spores and/or pollen grains during their development.
It is also possible that contractile vacuoles originate by some form of phase separation not yet understood and possibly involving the contractile properties of proteins, and' it is possible that this process continues to operate in the walls of the vacuoles or feeder canals.
Since the publication of my monograph "e;Die submikroskopische Struktur des Cytoplasm as"e; [Protoplasmatologia III A12 (1955)], science has increased our knowledge on this cell constituent in an amazing way.
This first of two volumes provides a general overview of the genetics, structure, mechanism and regulation of the Ras superfamily proteins and describes in detail the signaling pathways and processes regulated by specific members of this family.
This book provides an overview on the organization andfunction of the microtubule cytoskeleton, which is essential to many cellularprocesses and profoundly linked to a range of human diseases.
Thisbook examines how the growing knowledge of the huge range of animal-bacterialinteractions, whether in shared ecosystems or intimate symbioses, isfundamentally altering our understanding of animal biology.
The book presents the overview of the current knowledge in some fields of vascular biology, addressing cellular and molecular aspects of blood-vessel formation and their role in health and disease.
T-type calcium channels are prevalent in every organ of the body, and are believed to play a part in a variety of physiological processes, including contraction, shape change, secretion, endo- and exocytosis, cell proliferation and differentiation, modulation of enzyme function, and cell cycle progression.
The tumor environment is a dynamic network that includes cancer cells, immune cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, extracellular matrix, cytokines and receptors.
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) serves to control essential functions throughout the human body and represents a novel and attractive target for therapeutic intervention.
This book brings together experts from different fields, who used a broad spectrum of methods to investigate the physiological and cellular adaptation of alpine plants from the tree line to the upper limits.
Dieses Buch bietet einen Überblick über die Kryobiologie, einen Teilbereich der biomedizinischen Forschung, der sich seit vielen Jahren mit der Lebenserhaltung durch Kälte beschäftigt.
