Already as a young boy, I used to walk with my late father, an ardent naturalist at heart, though to his regret not by profession, in the fields and woods on Mt.
This book meets the demand of a recent surge of interest in germinal centers, the foci of antigen-induced, rapidly proliferating B lymphocytes, representing sites in mammalian lymphoid tissue where memory B cells are generated.
This monograph explores the relationships between cell signaling and the cytoplasmic cytoskeleton in fundamental cell processes, thus bridging the gap between two very active aspects of molecular cell biology.
Many human genetic diseases associated with blood, brain, colon, ear, eye, heart, kidney, liver, muscle, and pancreas are caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA.
Many of the known degenerative syndromes that occur in situations where immune and neural cells die prematurely - resulting in disorders that involve both the nervous and the immune systems -, are termed neuroimmunodegeneration (NID) syndromes.
The organizer area plays a central role in the formation of the embryonic axis and the central nervous system of all vertebrates including the human fetus.
The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is the favoured tool of many productive research groups throughout the world, serving as a useful model for fundamental principles and mechanisms, such as genome organization, differential gene regulation, cell-cycle control, signal transduction, or cellular morphogenesis.
Dieses Lehrbuch ist aus meiner Genetik-Grundvorlesung entstanden und reflektiert deren Struktur, wie sie sich im Laufe mehrerer Jahre aufgrund der Erfahrung in Prüfungen und durch Gespräche mit Studenten entwickelt hat.
Aktuell überarbeitet und erweitert bietet der "Hennig" eine umfassende Darstellung der klassischen und molekularen Genetik von den Mendelschen Regeln über die Chromosomenforschung bis hin zur Entwicklungsbiologie, Humangenetik und Gentechnologie: Genetisches Grundlagenwissen für das gesamte Studium.
Klonen von Tieren und Menschen ist derzeit das am häufigsten genannte und am heftigsten umstrittene Thema der Entwicklungsbiologie, über das Tagespresse und Medien berichten.
In the past few years rapid progress has been made regarding our understanding of one of the dominant phytoplankton groups of the world's oceans: the coccolithophores.
(Chapters 11 to 14) summarise important features of the biological clock at the level of whole animal covering all vertebrate classes (fish to mammal).
Dieses Buch ist entstanden aus Vorlesungen, die ich zum Teil in Basel und in Stanford, dann wiederholt an der Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule in Zürich gehalten habe.
The bacterial cell wall represents a very complex structure disconnecting the interior of single-cell organisms from the environment, thus protecting, but also enabling, them to interact with the surrounding milieu and to exchange both substances and information.
Biophysics - the science of physical principles of life itself, of biological systems - is presented here not merely as physics for biologists, but as an entirely independent subject with its own innate network of ideas and approaches.
This book contains the proceedings of the 11 'h international symposium dedicated to the understanding of animal "e;Life in the Cold"e;, held at Jungholz (Austria), August 13-18, 2000.
While serendipity and random screening continue to fulfil a significant role in the search for new drugs, current remarkable advances in molecular biology and genetics are dictating to a profound extent the approaches employed in their development.
This text is designed for a first course in biological mass transport, and the material in it is presented at a level that is appropriate to advanced undergraduates or early graduate level students.
Progress in the field of plant cell and tissue culture has made this area of research one of the most dynamic and promising not only in plant physiology, cell biology and genetics but also in agriculture, forestry, horticulture and industry.
