Relaxin and Related Peptides
Springer 2008; US$ 54.99Discusses the paradigms, the contradictions, and the findings and directions in the field of relaxin research. This book highlights an array of topics, ranging from evolution of relaxin family peptides and receptors to their cell signaling, from the role of relaxin in reproduction to the functions in cancer progression and in the nervous system. more...
Transgenic Microalgae as Green Cell Factories
Springer 2008; US$ 129.99Microalgae have been largely cultured and commercialized as food and feed additives, and their potential as source of high-added value compounds is well known. But, in contrast to the large number of genetically modified bacteria, yeast and even higher plants, only a few species of microalgae have been genetically transformed with efficiency. Initial... more...
Axon Growth and Guidance
Springer 2008; US$ 139.99This book proposes an updated view of the current knowledge of the molecular and cellular mechanisms ensuring axon growth and guidance. The introductory chapter will remind the readers of all the features of a growth cone and the mechanisms controlling its growth. From there, one enters a fabulous journey with a growth cone, a Tom Thumb story filled... more...
