Collagenases (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit)

R.G. Landes, 1999

Collagenases are an important subfamily of matrix metalloproteinases utilizing native collagens as a substrate. This book reviews a current knowledge of the structures and functions of collagenases and the roles they play in development, tumor metastasis, and tissue remodeling during wound healing. This review comes at a time when new...

Molecular Imaging Through Magnetic Resonance for Clinical Oncology

Cambridge University Press, 2005

Molecular imaging represents a new medical discipline that aims at uncovering molecular pathways of disease by integrating cellular and molecular biology with diagnostic imaging1,2. It encompasses several of the exciting imaging modalities that are capable of providing critical information for early detection and progression of...

Chemical Energy and Exergy: An Introduction to Chemical Thermodynamics for Engineers

Elsevier Limited, 2004

This book is a beginners introduction to chemical thermodynamics for engineers.
In the textbook efforts have been made to visualize as clearly as possible the main concepts of thermodynamic quantities such as enthalpy and entropy, thus making them more perceivable. Furthermore, intricate formulae in thermodynamics have been discussed as...

Non-viral Gene Therapy: Gene Design and Delivery

Springer, 2005

Several years ago, when the discovery of catalytic RNA was recognized in a public manner, many people asked if new ?elds of therapy would soon be available. Although some tentative positive answers were given, nobody would say with certainty that RNA of various kinds was a truly promising means of altering gene expression. In fact, over the...

Chemoradiation in Cancer Therapy (Cancer Drug Discovery and Development)

Humana Press, 2002

Internationally recognized experts in cancer biology and clinical research review the present status of the multimodality approach to the management of solid tumors and speculate on possible future strategies for chemoradiation therapy. The authors detail applications of combined modality therapy in lung, esophageal, breast, gastric,...

Analysis of Phylogenetics and Evolution with R (Use R!)

Springer, 2011

Phylogenetics is the science of the evolutionary relationships among species. Recently, the term has come to include broader issues such as estimating rates of evolution, dating divergence among species, reconstructing ancestral characters, or quantifying adaptation, all these using phylogenies as frameworks. ...

Streptomyces in Nature and Medicine: The Antibiotic Makers

Oxford University Press, 2007

This is an insiders account of 50 years of genetic studies of the soil-inhabiting microbes that produce most of the antibiotics used to treat infections, as well as anti-cancer, anti-parasitic and immunosuppressant drugs. The book begins by describing how these microbes the actinomycetes were discovered in the latter part of the nineteenth...

Integrative Physiology in the Proteomics and Post-Genomics Age

Humana Press, 2005

There is a perception in the scientific community that the discipline of Physiology is in crisis, or at least, in a phase of profound transition and change. At the root of the problem is confusion between objectives (the biological questions to be solved) and the methods and technologies to be applied. Traditionally, ever since...

Polyurethane and Related Foams: Chemistry and Technology

CRC Press, 2006

Polyurethane foams debuted over 60 years ago. At the present time these types of foams make up the largest segment in the thermosetting foam industry. This book describes polyurethane (PUR) and urethane linkage-modified polyisocyanurate (PIR) foams. A characteristic of these foams lies in the versatility of their physical...

The Vein Book

Academic Press, 2006

The Vein Book is a comprehensive reference on veins and venous circulation. In one volume it provides complete, authoritative, and up-to-date information about venous function and dysfunction, bridging the gap between clinical medicine and basic science. It is the single authoritative resource which consolidates present knowledge and...

The Skeleton: Biochemical, Genetic, and Molecular Interactions in Development and Homeostasis

Humana Press, 2004

A cutting-edge review of the biochemical, physiological, pharmacological, genetic, and molecular interactions involved in the development and homeostasis of the skeleton. Topics range from chondrogenesis, chondrocytes, and cartilage to skeletal dysmorphology, and include the control of skeletal development, osteoblastic cell differentiation,...

Population Genetics for Animal Conservation (Conservation Biology)

Cambridge University Press, 2009

It is widely accepted among conservation biologists that genetics is, more than ever, an essential and efficient tool for wild and captive population management and reserve design. However, a true synergy between population genetics and conservation biology is lacking. Following the first International Workshop on Population Genetics for Animal...
