Cell Biology and Biotechnology

Published 31 December 1993
This volume contains the proceedings of a symposium held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA in 1992. State-of-the-art research is presented on: the IGF-1 receptor and gene expression during the cell cycle; attachment control of fibroblast proliferation; cell biology and serum-free mouse embryo cells; immunoglobulin production stimulating factors; erythropoietin control of programmed death in erythroid progenitors; prohormone processing enzymes and protein production; control of translation initiation by phosphorylation; protein retention in the endoplasmic reticulum mediated by GPR78; molecular approaches towards manipulating the expression of the glucose related proteins in mammalian cells; protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum; sorting of membrane proteins in the endocytic and exocytic pathways; CIS-acting elements which regulate immunoglobulin gene transcription.
