Mononuclear Phagocytes in Cell Biology
by Gabriel Lopez-Berestein and J. Klostergaard
Mononuclear Phagocytes in Cell Biology provides a state-of-the-art review of the biological, biochemical, and molecular processes involved in macrophage activation. The book focuses on the role of macrophage "signals" in health and disease, which are discussed with particular attention to the physiological role of macrophages in homeostasis. The role played by macrophages in bone metabolism and the role of cytokines in diseases affecting the macrophage (e.g., HIV and leishmaniasis) are covered a...

Modelling, Analysis and Optimization of Biosystems
by Werner Krabs and Stefan Pickl
In general, several mathematical models can be designed in order to describe a biological or medical process and there is no unique criterion which model gives the best description. This book presents several of these models and shows applications of them to different biological and medical problems. The book shows that operations research expertise is necessary in respect to modeling, analysis and optimization of biosystems.

It covers breaking discoveries in gene therapy, explaining the spectacular improvements...
Somatic Stem Cells and Their Plasticity
To the scientist, stem cells offer a precious source of undifferentiated material for the study of cell maturation and specialization. To the clinician, these cells represent a potential source of material for the cure and replacement of damaged organs and tissues. They hold great promise for future therapy: Any disease resulting from genetically or environmentally damaged tissues could, in principle, be repaired through a strategic use of stem cells. ‘Somatic Stem Cells and Their Plasticity’...
