In writing this book, I found the choice of a suitable title to be a most vexing problem. Lehninger's excellent earlier monograph The Mitochondrion had already appropriated in the domain of library cards what appeared to be the most fitting description of the subject matter. Once the text was completed, however, it became obvious that pluralization was the simplest solution to this dilemma. Variations in the structure and function of this organelle and recent discoveries of the phylogenetic dive...

The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Fourth Edition, is a comprehensive revision of the most authoritative and widely cited atlas in neuroscience. In addition to the completely revised coronal diagrams, the Fourth Edition contains thoroughly revised sagittal and horizontal diagrams of the brain. High-quality photographs accompany each diagram.

In der vorliegenden 2. Auflage dieses erfolgreichen Atlas wurden nach kritischer Durchsicht und Analayse Fehler korrigiert, einige Texte zur Beseitigung von Unklarheiten ge{ndert und mehrere Bildtafeln vervollst{ndigtoder neu gezeichnet, um mit den j}ngsten Forschungsergebnissen auf dem Gebiet der Histologie Schritt zu halten. Die Literatur- angaben wurden ebenfalls umfassend aktualisiert.

This second of 15 short atlases reimagines the classic 5-volume Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development. A handy paperback edition focuses on an early part of the first trimester of human brain development. Serial sections from specimens between 6.3 mm and 10.5 mm are illustrated and annotated in detail, together with 3D reconstructions. An introduction summarizes these earliest stages of human CNS development. The accompanying Glossary gives definitions for all the terms used in this...

The last few years have witnessed an explosion of both interest and knowledge about apoptosis, the process by which a cell actively commits suicide. It is now well recognised that apoptosis is essential in many aspects of normal development and is required for maintaining tissue homeostasis. The molecular mechanisms of apoptosis are presently unknown and the subject of focused research effort. It is clear that cell membrane structure and properties play an early part in the induction process. Th...

The rapid growth of the study of apoptosis-mechanism-driven, regulated cell death-has created an urgent need for reliable documentation of the different approaches to and methods of studying the various aspects of the field. Apoptosis in Neurobiology is an important resource for researchers in this emerging frontier of biomedical study. This volume allows the uninitiated neuroscientist intellectual and practical access to the study of apoptosis, with special consideration to the nervous system....

Introduction to the Human Body 10th Edition Binder Ready Version offers a balanced introduction to the human body, especially developed to meet the needs of the one-semester A&P course. It provides an effective blend of stunning art and clearly written text to illuminate the complexities of the human body. Class-tested pedagogy is woven into the narrative and illustrations to ensure that students gain a solid understanding of the material. This text is an unbound, binder-ready version.

The second of two relatively independent volumes on the chemistry and biology of peroxidases. The Peroxidases in Chemistry and Biology series provides up-to-date information on a wide range of developments in the field of Peroxidases, methods and applications. This is Volume 2 originally published in 1990.

AY's Neuroanatomy of C. elegans for Computation provides the neural circuitry database of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, both in printed form and in ASCII files on 5.25-inch diskettes (for use on IBM® and compatible personal computers, Macintosh® computers, and higher level machines). Tables of connections among neuron classes, synapses among individual neurons, gap junctions among neurons, worm cells and their embryonic origin, and synthetically derived neuromuscular connections are prese...

What does the birth of babies whose embryos had gone through genome editing mean--for science and for all of us? In November 2018, the world was shocked to learn that two babies had been born in China with DNA edited while they were embryos--as dramatic a development in genetics as the cloning of Dolly the sheep was in 1996. In this book, Hank Greely, a leading authority on law and genetics, tells the fascinating story of this human experiment and its consequences. Greely explains what Chinese...

Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.
