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...
Bacterial Signal Transduction
Springer 2008; US$ 169.99Offers an incentive for graduate students, academic scientists, and researchers in the pharmaceutical industry to further elucidate the TCS networks and apply them in the search for novel drugs. more...
Molecular Mechanisms of Xeroderma Pigmentosum
Springer 2008; US$ 159.99To understand the molecular mechanisms of XP, XP mouse models have been used, and mice deficient in XPA, XPC, XPD, XPG, XPF, and XPA/CSB have been produced and analysed. This title includes a chapter that analyzes the world distribution of XP and shows that Japan has the highest incidence of XP and of varying complementation groups. more...
Somitogenesis
Springer 2008; US$ 159.99We visualise developmental biology as the study of progressive changes that occur within cells, tissues and organisms themselves during their life span. This title includes nine chapters that cover topics that endeavour to capture the spirit of this dynamic discipline. It is suitable for different kinds of scientists, including basic researchers. more...
Multichain Immune Recognition Receptor Signaling
Springer 2008; US$ 159.99Shows that the structural similarity of the Multichain Immune Recognition Receptors (MIRRs) determines the general principles underlying MIRR-mediated transmembrane signaling mechanisms. This book provides the basis for existing and future therapeutic strategies targeting MIRRs. more...
Cellular Oscillatory Mechanisms
Springer 2008; US$ 159.99Offers an introduction to a range of both well known and less familiar cellular oscillations and illustrates the striking richness of cellular dynamics. This book focuses on elucidating the basic mechanisms that underlie these oscillations. more...
Oxygen Transport to Tissue XXX
Springer 2008; US$ 159.99Covers various aspects of oxygen delivery to tissue, including blood flow and its regulation as well as oxygen metabolism. This book pays attention to methods of oxygen measurement in living tissue and application of these technologies to understanding physiological and biochemical basis for pathology related to tissue oxygenation. more...
The Growth Hormone/Insulin-Like Growth Factor Axis During Development
Springer 2005; US$ 139.99Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I is a widely expressed growth factor with diverse effects on many tissues throughout development and in adult life. This work provides detailed information on the role of the growth hormone (GH)-IGF axis in fetal and postnatal development, as well as its physiological functions and implications in pathology. more...
