Macrophages: A Practical Approach

Oxford University Press, 2000

Macrophages are an important part of the immune response and are characterized by their ability to phagocytose foreign matter. However the difficulties involved in macrophage isolation mean they are some of the body's least explored cells. Macrophage Methodology describes how to isolate moderate to high yields of viable cells...

The Adrenergic Receptors in the 21st Century (The Receptors)

Humana Press, 2005

Our understanding of adrenergic function has advanced considerably in the 15 years since three adrenergic receptor books were published in The Receptors series. In the late 1980s, many of the adrenergic subtypes had not yet been cloned. Most of the studies during that time focused on traditional pharmacological approaches in...

Nutrigenomics and Nutrigenetics in Functional Foods and Personalized Nutrition

CRC Press, 2013

While functional foods have become a reasonably well-established concept, personalized nutrition is still treated with skepticism by many. The recognition that people would have different nutrient requirements, or perceive foods in different ways, raises several concernsâsome real, some not so real. Nutrigenomics and...

Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2008

Bioinformatics involve the creation and advancement of algorithms using techniques including computational intelligence, applied mathematics and statistics, informatics, and biochemistry to solve biological problems usually on the molecular level. Major research efforts in the field include sequence analysis, gene finding, genome annotation,...

Lysosomal Storage Disorders: A Practical Guide

John Wiley & Sons, 2013

Awareness of lysomal storage disorders needs to be raised and there is very substantial pharmaceutical interest to do so. The disorders are often viewed as obscurities but in fact they are treatable. Enzyme replacement therapy is available for four of the disorders and will be available for a further three disorders in the course of the next...

Neurocriminology: Forensic and Legal Applications, Public Policy Implications

CRC Press, 2018

Neurocriminology: Forensic and Legal Applications, Public Policy Implications explores the dramatic impact of advances in neuroscience research and practice to our present understanding of criminality and crime control. Contemporary, cutting-edge research in neuroscience is cited and explained. Studies and cases are clearly...

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...

Grouping Multidimensional Data: Recent Advances in Clustering

Springer, 2006

Clustering is a fundamental problem that has numerous applications in many disciplines. Clustering techniques are used to discover natural groups in datasets and to identify abstract structures that might reside there, without having any background knowledge of the characteristics of the data. They have been used in various areas including...

Biology Of Genetic Dominance (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit)

Landes Bioscience, 2006

The word dominance, in the context of genetics, has been used for long time applied to characters or to alleles. A dominant character masks the expression of an alternative form. This loose definition would even apply when these alternatives are not determined by alleles of the same locus. In turn, a dominant allele refers to an alternative version...

Mass Spectrometry and Genomic Analysis

Springer, 2001

The human genome project is set to revolutionise health care and medicine in the near future. The genetic make up of each individual gives clues as to the genetic factors that predispose one to a particular genetic disease. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), single base changes in the nucleotide DNA sequence of individuals, are thought to...

The Statistics of Gene Mapping (Statistics for Biology and Health)

Springer, 2007

This book details the statistical concepts used in gene mapping, first in the experimental context of crosses of inbred lines and then in outbred populations, primarily humans. It presents elementary principles of probability and statistics, which are implemented by computational tools based on the R programming language to simulate genetic...

The Behavioral Genetics of Psychopathology: A Clinical Guide

Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2005

New discoveries about the genetic underpinnings of many kinds of human experience are now constantly being made. This book explores the impact of these discoveries on the ways in which the common mental disorders are best conceptualized and treated.

Most people think of research in genetics as the search for genes. This is only one focus of...
