Lipids and Atherosclerosis Annual 2001by Allan Gaw; James Shepherd
Informa Healthcare 2003; US$ 84.95Given the continuing development of new statins and their increasing, beneficial use in clinical practice and given the importance of clinical research into the atherosclerotic plaque and its role in cardiovascular and endovascular diseases, given the immense advances in animal and human studies that have taken place over the past few years at a steadily increasing pace, Gaw and Shepherd have chosen topics on lipids and atherosclerosis, which are of current interest for researchers and clinicians alike. Therefore, the need for a frequent up-to-date review of these advances is obvious. more...
Plant Breeding Reviewsby Jules Janick
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2002; US$ 295.00Plant Breeding Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. Many of the crops widely grown today stem from a very narrow genetic base; understanding and preserving crop genetic resources is vital to the security of food systems worldwide. The emphasis of the series is on methodology, a fundamental understanding of crop genetics, and applications to major crops. more...
Elements of Molecular Neurobiologyby C. U. M. Smith
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 114.00This edition of the popular text incorporates recent advances in neurobiology enabled by modern molecular biology techniques. Understanding how the brain works from a molecular level allows research to better understand behaviours, cognition, and neuropathologies. Since the appearance six years ago of the second edition, much more has been learned about the molecular biology of development and its relations with early evolution. This "evodevo" (as it has come to be known) framework also has a great deal of bearing on our understanding of neuropathologies as dysfunction of early onset genes can cause neurodegeneration in later life. Advances in our understanding of the genomes and proteomes of a number of organisms also greatly influence our... more...
Patch Clampingby Areles Molleman
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 144.95Patch clamping is a widely applied electrophysiological technique for the study of ion channels; membrane proteins that regulate the flow of ions across cellular membranes and therefore influence the physiology of all cells. Patch Clamping aims to cover the basic principles and practical applications of this important technique. Starting with a review of the history of patch clamping, the text then goes on to cover the basic principles, platforms, equipment and environmental control, and will also include coverage of preparation types, recording modes and analysis of results. * This book will explain the basic principles and practical application of patch clamp electrophysiology. * Written in a non-technical style to ensure its broad appeal... more...
Molecular Biology Problem Solverby Alan S. Gerstein
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2004; US$ 124.95Most research in the life sciences involves a core set of molecular-based equipment and methods, for which there is no shortage of step-by-step protocols. Nonetheless, there remains an exceedingly high number of inquiries placed to commercial technical support groups, especially regarding problems. Molecular Biology Problem Solver: A Laboratory Guide asks the reader to consider crucial questions, such as: Have you selected the most appropriate research strategy? Have you identified the issues critical to your successful application of a technique? Are you familiar with the limitations of a given technique? When should common procedural rules of thumb not be applied? What strategies could you apply to resolve a problem? A unique question-based... more...
