Thermobiology - book by Willis, J.S.

DESCRIPTION: Notwithstanding widespread studies and even several biological journals devoted to temperature, it is difficult to perceive a field of thermobiology as such. Interest in the effects of temperature of biological systems is fragmented into specific thermal ranges and often connected with ... view more info and the price of this book.

The Platelet - book by Lapetina, E.G.

DESCRIPTION: Platelets have been an important model system in which to study various aspects of signal transduction. In spite of the fact that platelets are anucleated cells, it has been possible to assess the relationship between receptors, transducers and effectors, and specific platelet physiolog... view more info and the price of this book.

Protein Targeting to Mitochondria - book by Hartl, F.U.

DESCRIPTION: A large number of newly-synthesized polypeptides must cross one or several intracellular membranes to reach their functional locations in the eukaryotic cell. The mechanisms of protein trafficking, in particular the post-translational targeting and membrane translocation of proteins, ar... view more info and the price of this book.

Cell Adhesion - book by Colman, D.R.

DESCRIPTION: One prerequisite for the evolution of multicellular organisms was the invention of mechanisms by which cells could adhere to one another. At some point in our history, dividing cells no longer went their separate protozoic ways in the primordial oceans, but instead found that by maintai... view more info and the price of this book.

Biochemical Technology, Part A - book by Danielsson, B.;Bulow, L.

DESCRIPTION: In December 1992, the Department of Pure and Applied Biochemistry at the Chemical Center in Lund, Sweden, organized an international meeting, the Mosbach Symposium on Biochemical Technology, to celebrate the 60th birthday of professor Klaus Mosbach, one of the founders of modern biotech... view more info and the price of this book.

Cell Polarity - book by Bartles, J.R.

DESCRIPTION: Few cells conform to the stereotype of the spherical blob hastily scribbled on chalkboards and, regrettably, sometimes even displayed prominently in textbooks. Instead, real cells display a remarkable degree of structural and functional asymmetry. In modern cell biological parlance, thi... view more info and the price of this book.

Oxyradicals in Medical Biology - book by McCord, J.M.

DESCRIPTION: The rapid expansion of the area of free radical biology in the last 25 years has occurred within a framework of assumptions and preconceived notions that has at times directed the course of this movement. The most dominant of these notions has been the view that free radical production ... view more info and the price of this book.

Cell Structure and Signaling - book by Getzenberg, R.H.

DESCRIPTION: In the past approximately quarter of a century, science has made significant progress in elucidating the skeletal elements of the cell, the extracellular matrix, cytoskeleton and nuclear matrix (i.e. the tissue matrix). While we currently know a great deal about some of the elements tha... view more info and the price of this book.

In VIVO Footprinting - book by Cartwright, I.L.

DESCRIPTION: The revolution in biological research initiated by the demonstration that particular DNA molecules could be isolated, recombined in novel ways, and conveniently replicated to high copy number in vivo for further study, that is, the recombinant DNA era, has spawned many additional advanc... view more info and the price of this book.

Gap Junctions - book by Hertzberg, E.L.

DESCRIPTION: The objective in editing this volume was twofold: to provide a reasoned overview of the field as well as to furnish one that provided this overview within the context of the intellectual boundaries of those who initially attempted to define the purview of gap junction research. The latt... view more info and the price of this book.

The Biology of the Pancreatic Beta-Cell - book by Howell, S.L.

DESCRIPTION: As a result of the key advances made more than 30 years ago, specifically the ability to isolate islets of Langerhans from the pancreas, the ability to measure insulin accurately by immunoasay, and the development of microchemical techniques for studying cells and their components, many... view more info and the price of this book.

The Adhesive Interaction of Cells - book by Garrod, D.R.;North, A.J.;Chidgey, M.A.J.

Stem Cells and Cell Signalling in Skeletal Myogenesis - book by Sassoon, D.A.

DESCRIPTION: Skeletal muscle development is perhaps one of the best understood processes at the molecular, cellular and organismal level due in large part to the fact that primary myogenic cells (myoblasts) will grow and subsequently differentiate into myotubes in culture. With the advent of revers... view more info and the price of this book.

Gene Expression at the Beginning of Animal Development - book by DePamphilis, M.L.

DESCRIPTION: The beginning of life may be a miracle to some, and a mystery to others, but it is certainly one of the most exciting and perhaps controversial fields of scientific investigation in the 21st century. Among the metazoa, life begins when an egg is fertilized by a sperm. The sperm provide... view more info and the price of this book.

Murine Homeobox Gene Control of Embryonic Patterning and Organogenesis - book by Lufkin, T.
