A Life of Ernest Starling
By: Henderson, John
Published by: Academic Press (Elsevier Science & Technology Books)
Ernest Starling (1866-1927) was pre-eminent in the golden age of British Physiology. His name is usually associated with his “Law of the Heart,” but his discovery of secretin (the first hormone whose mode of action was explained) and his work on capillaries were more important contributions. He coined the word 'hormone' one hundred years ago. His analysis of capillary function demonstrated that equal and opposite forces move across the capillary wall--an outward (hydrostatic) force and an inward (osmotic) force derived from plasma proteins. Starling’s contributions include:. *Developing the "Frank-Starling Law of the Heart," presented in 1915 and modified in 1919. *The Starling equation, describing fluid shifts in the body (1896). *The discovery of secretin, the first hormone, with Bayliss (1902) and the introduction of the concept of hormones (1905).

Metal Complex
By: Hadjiliadis, Nick (ed.); Sletten, Einar (ed.)
Published by: Wiley-Blackwell
The importance of metal-DNA interactions in living systems, and their potential applications especially in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases has stimulated considerable recent interest in this area. The most important application is the antitumour action of certain heavy metals, which work by binding to and distorting DNA, causing cell death. For example, Cisplatin (Cl2H6N2Pt ) is one of the most potent and widely used anticancer drugs in use today. This book provides an overview of metal-DNA interactions, the mechanism of their interaction, metal-based drugs and metal ion toxicity. It is essential reading for academic researchers in bioinorganic chemistry, biochemistry, biology, biotechnology and medicine, and pharmaceutical industries involved in developing metal-based drugs.
