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...

Oxidative Stress and Age-Related Neurodegeneration (Oxidative Stress and Disease)

CRC Press, 2005

Despite the progress being made by researchers, Alzheimer’s disease, along with other age-related neurodegenerative disorders, continues to exact a tremendous toll on our society. However, we are beginning to see a relationship that ties degenerative disorders to oxidative stress and lifestyle, suggesting the possibility for prevention...

Handbook of Cell-Penetrating Peptides, Second Edition (Pharmacology and Toxicology: Basic and Clinical Aspects)

CRC Press, 2006

Since the first Handbook of Cell-Penetrating Peptides was prepared in 2001, the wealth of new information on the use of these peptides as transport systems has in fact served to confound the field. The constant internal change in the field of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) is due to recent research uncovering apparent ambiguities in...

Cancer Precursors: Epidemiology, Detection, and Prevention

Springer, 2002

Dramatic advances in our understanding of cancer causation have come from epidemiologic and laboratory research, particularly over the past two decades. These developments have included a broadening interest in the critical events that take place during the early stages of the dynamic multistep process leading to invasive...

Pancreatic Cancer: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Medicine)

Humana Press, 2004

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Annually approximately 30,000 Americans are diagnosed with the disease and most will die from it within five years. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is unique because of its late onset in age, high mortality, small tumor samples...

Endocannabinoids: The Brain and Body's Marijuana and Beyond

CRC Press, 2005

Over the past decade, there have been major advances in understanding the mechanisms whereby marijuana interacts with the brain in producing psychoactive and potentially therapeutic effects.
