Microbial Technologies in Advanced Biofuels Production
Concerns over dwindling fossil fuel reserves and impending climate changes have focused attention worldwide on the need to discover alternative, sustainable energy sources and fuels. Biofuels, already produced on a massive industrial scale, are seen as one answer to these problems. However, very real concerns over the effects of biofuel production on food supplies, with some of ht recent increases in worldwide food costs attributable to biofuel production, have lead to the realization that new,...
Cellular Immune Mechanisms and Tumor Dormancy (CRC Press Revivals)
by T. H. M. Stewart and E. Frederick Wheelock
Cellular Immune Mechanisms and Tumor Dormancy features the work of internationally recognized experts from various disciplines as they discuss the phenomenon of tumor dormancy in humans. Animal models are described in which cellular and molecular components of the immune control of dormancy have been identified, and the relevance of these models to human cancer patients is recognized. Data derived from studies of organ transplantation, adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, anaesthesia, surgery, a...

"Visceral."--Wall Street Journal "Illuminating."--Publishers Weekly "Heroic."--Science The immune system holds the key to human health. In The Beautiful Cure, leading immunologist Daniel M. Davis describes how the scientific quest to understand how the immune system works--and how it is affected by stress, sleep, age, and our state of mind--is now unlocking a revolutionary new approach to medicine and well-being. The body's ability to fight disease and heal itself is one of the great mysteri...
Ebola: Clinical Patterns, Public Health Concerns is a concise description and discussion of the Ebola virus and disease. The intended audience is medical practitioners, including those working in endemic areas as well as health-facility planners and public health practitioners. The book fills an important gap between large texts covering not only Ebola but other hemorrhagic fever viruses and brief pamphlet-style publications on the public health aspects of the infection. In light of the recent l...
Development
Developmental biology is one of the most rapidly expanding areas of cell biology and molecular genetic research. Questions about life continually arise and never cease to fascinate the scientist, such as the fundamental question, "How can a single cell develop into an entire organism"? This book presents the current state of research involved in answering this question. Described here are the molecular events which are responsible for specific processes in the majro model systems, including viru...
Molecular Biology of the Fission Yeast (Cell Biology)
by Anwar Nasim and etc.
This highly researched yeast, which represents a system used by cell biologists, geneticists and molecular biologists, has been given only minimal coverage in the literature. Its properties make it an excellent organism for DNA and related biotechnology reseach. This book, which is the first attempt to collate existing information in one source, will be an invaluable aid to those initiating projects with this organism.
