Juvenile Hormones and Juvenoids
CRC Press 2013; US$ 159.95Juvenile hormones (JHs) are a group of structurally related sesquiterpenes secreted by the insect corpora allata. They affect most insect life-cycle stages and physiological functions, including embryogenesis, larval and adult development, metamorphosis, reproduction, metabolism, diapause, polyethism, and migration. Juvenoids such as methoprene, hydroprene,... more...
Handbook of Biopolymer-Based Materials
Wiley 2013; US$ 260.50This first systematic scientific reference in the area of micro and nanostructured biopolymer systems discusses in two volumes the morphology, structure, dynamics, properties and applications of all important biopolymers, as well as their blends, composites, interpenetrating networks and gels. Selected leading researchers from industry, academia, government... more...
Annual Plant Reviews, Plant Nuclear Structure, Genome Architecture and Gene Regulation
Wiley 2013; US$ 214.50Understanding plant nuclear structure - the spatial and dynamic organisation of the plant nucleus and the function and interactions of its components (e.g. RNA, proteins, nuclear envelope) – is vital in determining an integrated structural, physical and functional map of the genome. Along with the plant’s genomic architecture - the organization... more...
Stress-Induced Mutagenesis
Springer 2013; US$ 169.99The discovery of stress-induced mutagenesis has changed ideas about mutation and evolution, and revealed mutagenic programs that differ from standard spontaneous mutagenesis in rapidly proliferating cells. The stress-induced mutations occur during growth-limiting stress, and can include adaptive mutations that allow growth in the otherwise growth-limiting... more...
Tetraspanins
Springer 2013; US$ 169.99Tetraspanin proteins have recently emerged as a new class of modulators of various processes involving cell surface receptors, including cell migration and invasion, host immune responses, cell-cell fusion, and viral infection. The book summarises recent advances in the fields of biology in which the role of tetraspanins have been established and also... more...
The Neutrophils
World Scientific Publishing Company 2013; US$ 176.00This is a third edition of the popular book, which presents an overview of the most recent findings in the biology of neutrophils. These cells are critically important for protection against bacterial and viral infections and have been recently demonstrated to be a major contributor to tumor associated immune suppression. In addition, neutrophils represent... more...
Marine Proteins and Peptides
Wiley 2013; US$ 247.50Food proteins and bioactive peptides play a vital role in the growth and development of the body’s structural integrity and regulation, as well as having a variety of other functional properties. Land animal-derived food proteins such as collagen and gelatine carry risks of contamination (such as BSE). Marine-derived proteins, which can provide... more...
Drug Delivery Systems
Springer 2013; US$ 149.99This book is part of a series dedicated to recent advances on preventive, predictive and personalised medicine (PPPM). It focuses on the theme of Drug delivery systems: advanced technologies potentially applicable in personalised treatments. The critical topics involving the development and preparation of effective drug delivery systems,... more...
Crucible of Science
Oxford University Press, USA 2013; US$ 48.99"Crucible of Science" is the story of a unique laboratory at Washington University in St. Louis, and of Carl and Gerty Cori, the biochemists who established it. Carl and Gerty met and married at medical school in Prague in the 1920s. After graduation, they immigrated to the U.S. to escape deteriorating conditions in Europe. Carl soon received... more...
Taurine 8
Springer 2013; US$ 189.99Taurine 8 represents the combined efforts of investigators on the roles of the amino acid taurine on human health and disease. The chapters covered in this book are directly derived from presentations of the contributors at the 18th International Taurine Meeting held in Marrakech, Morocco in April 2012. The purpose of this book is to disseminate... more...
