Design by Evolution: Advances in Evolutionary Design (Natural Computing Series)

Springer, 2008

Evolution is Nature’s design process. The natural world is full of wonderful examples of its successes, from engineering design feats such as powered flight, to the design of complex optical systems such as the mammalian eye, to the merely stunningly beautiful designs of orchids or birds of paradise. With increasing...

Is Human Nature Obsolete?: Genetics, Bioengineering, and the Future of the Human Condition

MIT Press, 2004

"Modifying ourselves through molecular biology is a humanitarian utopia to some, an imminent nightmare to others. But to all, the prospect should be a challenge because it touches on so many basic and unresolved questions. This excellent, probing collection of papers -- spanning philosophy, history, social science, and theology -- will be...

Cytokines and Chemokines in Infectious Diseases Handbook (Infectious Disease)

Humana Press, 2003

Cytokines and chemokines are an important class of effector molecules that play a fundamental role in orchestrating the innate and acquired immune responses needed to eliminate or wall off invading pathogens. In vitro and in vivo studies have been instrumental in revealing the complexity of the cytokine network and the many facets of...

Brain Imaging in Substance Abuse: Research, Clinical, and Forensic Applications (Forensic Science and Medicine)

Humana Press, 2000

The last two decades have seen prodigious growth in the application of brain imaging methods to questions of substance abuse and addiction. Despite considerable advances in our understanding of the central effects of drugs provided by preclinical data, relatively little direct evidence was known of how substances of abuse affect the brain and...

Fuzzy Systems in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing)

Springer, 2009

Biological systems are inherently stochastic and uncertain. Thus, research in bioinformatics, biomedical engineering and computational biology has to deal with a large amount of uncertainties.

Fuzzy logic has shown to be a powerful tool in capturing different uncertainties in engineering systems. In recent years, fuzzy logic based modeling and...

Adult Stem Cells

Humana Press, 2004

Studies on stem cells have been attracting intense scientific and public attention, not only because of controversies surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells but also because of very provocative data that have been emerging on adult stem cells. Much of the public attention and debate has been focused on the possibility that...
