Biosimulation in Drug Development

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

Drug development is far from a straightforward endeavor. It starts with the identification of a pharmaceutically promising substance, the potential of which is further investigated in near-exhausting physiological analyses (Chapter 1). If it is found effective, this does not necessarily mean that we know all the molecular...

Sertoli Cell Biology (Vol 1)

Academic Press, 2004

In 1993 Lonnie Russell and Michael Griswold edited a book titled The Sertoli Cell, which has served as a major resource for investigators interested in male reproduction. It is appropriate that now—more than 10 years later—the advances in this field are summarized in this new text. It is also appropriate that...

Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Contemporary Cardiology)

Humana Press, 2007

Since the successful invention of the first Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system by Damadian et al. for cancer diagnosis three decades ago, the medical use of MRI has developed rapidly applicable to a wide range of diseases. Since the first attempt to image the heart with MRI in the early 1980s, extensive hardware and software...

Academic Press, 1995

Although anucleated, blood platelets are extraordinarily efficient cells and still the subject of fruitful investigations in haematology, in vascular physiology, in biochemistry, and more recently in immunology and in physiopathology where their metabolism has been implicated as a source of potential effector compounds. It...

The Vascular Endothelium I (Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology) (v. 1)

Springer, 2006

It was with great pleasure that I accepted the invitation of Springer to edit this book.My association with the vascular endothelium covers a large part of my scientific career and, as with any good long-standing relationship, it has had moments of great excitement and periods of laborious construction.

Handbook of Copper Pharmacology and Toxicology

Humana Press, 2002

Copper (Cu), an essential trace element, is required for the survival of organisms ranging from bacteria to mammals. Because Cu ions can adopt distinct redox states (oxidized Cu[II] or reduced Cu[I]), they play a pivotal role in cell physiology as catalytic cofactors in the redox chemistry of enzymes involved in a broad spectrum of...

Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Oncology (Medical Radiology / Diagnostic Imaging)

Springer, 2005

Radiologists have long been interested in imaging and measuring blood fl ow and in characterising the structure of blood vessels within pathological tissues.
