Regulation of the Eukaryotic Cell Cycle
Comprised of the latest developments in cell cycle research, it analyzes the principles underlying the control of cell division. Offers a framework for future investigation, especially that aimed toward understanding and treatment of cancer.
Regeneration of Vertebrate Sensory Receptor Cells
An international group of leading investigators discuss recent progress of sensory structures in lower and higher vertebrates. Experts in two relevant fields–the cell cycle and mitogenic growth factors–present insightful contributions in the search for precursors and/or stem cells in each sense organ plus the signals which regulate those precursors' differentiation both in normal development and regeneration.
Textbook of in vivo Imaging in Vertebrates
This book describes the new imaging techniques being developed to monitor physiological, cellular and subcellular function within living animals. This exciting field of imaging science brings together physics, chemistry, engineering, biology and medicine to yield powerful and versatile imaging approaches. By combining advanced non-invasive imaging technologies with new mechanisms for visualizing biochemical events and protein and gene function, non-invasive vertebrate imaging enables the in vivo study of biology and offers rapid routes from basic discovery to drug development and clinical application. Combined with the availability of an increasing number of animal models of human disease, and the ability to perform longitudinal studies of disease evolution and of the long-term effects of therapeutic procedures, this new technology offers the next generation of tools for biomedical research. Well illustrated, largely in colour, the book reviews the most common and technologically advanced methods for vertebrate imaging, presented in a clear, comprehensive format. The basic principles are described, followed by several examples of the use of imaging in the study of living multicellular organisms, concentrating on small animal models of human diseases. The book illustrates: The types of information that can be obtained with modern in vivo imaging; The substitution of imaging methods for more destructive histological techniques; The advantages conferred by in vivo imaging in building a more accurate picture of the response of tissues to stimuli over time while significantly reducing the number of animals required for such studies. Part 1 describes current techniques in in vivo imaging, providing specialists and laboratory scientists from all disciplines with clear and helpful information regarding the tools available for their specific research field. Part 2 looks in more detail at imaging organ development and function, covering the brain, heart, lung and others. Part 3 describes the use of imaging to monitor various new types of therapy, following the reaction in an individual organism over time, e.g. after gene or cell therapy. Most chapters are written by teams of physicists and biologists, giving a balanced coherent description of each technique and its potential applications.
Perspektiven nachwachsender Rohstoffe in der Chemie
Renewable raw materials are not only a hot, up-to-date topic for the daily press – active chemical research is also beeing carried out in this field. Many cultivated plants can already be used as raw materials in the chemical industry, for others industrial-scale processes have still to be developed or suitable varieties have to be bred – a wide field of research. This volume confirms that condierable success has already been achieved in recent years. Here experts present results ranging from basic research to practical applications. The high proportion of research workers from the chemical industry ensures that the contributions are strongly angled towards industrial practice.
Lipophilicity in Drug Action and Toxicology
In keeping with the outstanding importance of lipophilicity in biosciences, this volume examines all its facets in more than twenty contributions from leading experts. It offers a thorough and highly topical survey of this rapidly developing field of research. Color plates demonstrating structural aspects, a vast number of references, and the straightforward presentation of the material make this volume a invaluable tool for all researchers involved in drug design or in the investigation of drug action.
