Science : Genetics

This topic is a new entry in the area of cellular calcium signaling: yet, it now spans the entire area, with discoveries that cover both genetic and acquired pathologies, even offering glimpses in the direction of therapy. Cellular calcium homeostasis, and thus calcium signalling, is mainly regulated by membrane intrinsic proteins and calcium sensor proteins. Both classes may be involved in pathological processes that affect both human and animals, ranging from common and important diseases (e.g. migraine, diabetes, epilepsia, manic depression, infertility, various types of cancer, Alzheimer??'s disease, muscular dystrophy) to rare genetic conditions (e.g., a number of genetic heart conditions, autoimmune retinopathies, night blindness, hereditary amyloid polyneuropathy, malignant hyperthermia, cerebellar ataxia, atherothrombotic disease). Clearly, the topic has now become not only very large, but also very stimulating. Its extensive critical coverage is likely to eventually stimulate fruitful interdisciplinary discussions. more...

Progress in the field of genetics is moving faster and demonstrating accomplishments unlike ever before. Genes marking for specific diseases and methods in gene therapy are evolving rapidly and being incorporated into daily patient care. Ethical issues are under constant debate by politicians, journalists, and laymen. All health care providers need to stay informed on the research, the applicability to patient management, and the moral issues involved. Case Studies in Genes and Disease tackles all these issues for those who need it most: busy clinicians who daily see patients needing to know how advances in genetic research and therapy affect their health. Written for practitioners who are not geneticists, it does not presume an expert's familiarity with the subject. From fundamentals to specific diseases to "the dark side" of genetics, Case Studies in Genes and Disease will educate, intrigue, and astound you. more...

The view of the genome as a network of interacting computational components is well-established, but researchers try to reverse the analogy, by using living organisms to construct logic circuits. This book deals with the implementation of this technology, describing working experimental demonstrations using cells as components of logic circuits. more...
