Comparative Growth of Mammalian, Insect and Plant Cells
Cell culture is extensively employed in the biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries for the production of antiviral vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, secondary metabolites and in vitro cultivated cells. This technique is successfully applied to the growth of cell lines isolated from different species of mammals, insects and plants. In order to optimize cell growth and product yield, it is essential to study the metabolism of each cell line to allow for the adjustment...
Amyloid, Prions, and Other Protein Aggregates, Part B (Methods in Enzymology)
by Indu Kheterpal
Explorers of the Black Box is a scientific adventure story. The “Black Box” is the brain. The “Explorers” are neuroscientists in search of how nerve cells record memories, and they are as ruthless and dauntless as any soldiers of fortune. The book centers around the early, often-controversial research Nobel Prize–winner Eric Kandel. It takes readers behind the scenes of laboratories at Woods Hole, Columbia, Yale, and Princeton to create an absorbing account of how the brain works and of how scie...
Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Cyclic Amp
Gene Expression Systems: Using Nature for the Art of Expression offers detailed information on a wide variety of gene expression systems from an array of organisms. It describes several different types of expression systems including transient, stable, viral, and transgenic systems. Each chapter is written by a leader in the field. The book includes timelines and examples for each expression system, and provides an overview of the future of recombinant protein expression.
Prion-related diseases, known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), are infectious, fatal neurodegenerative disorders for which there is no cure, treatment, nor even a means for early diagnosis. The horrific advent of Mad Cow Disease -- transmitted to humans through eating meat from steers sickened by bovine spongiform encephalopathy --brought prion-related diseases international attention. Exceptionally dramatic, these diseases progressively and inexorably destroy the cognitive,...
Translational Medicine (Current Topics from the Encyclopedia of Molecular Cell Biology and Molecular Medicine)
The first complete overview of progress in the field. The two volumes contain selected articles from the prestigious online Encyclopedia of Molecular Cell Biology and Molecular Medicine, fully updated and enriched with numerous new contributions from many eminent scientists. Divided into three parts, the first gives a thorough introduction to cancer biology, while Part Two covers therapeutic approaches for all major forms of cancer, and the third part deals with cancer diagnostics. The resul...
Molecular Regulation of Nuclear Events in Mitosis and Meiosis (Cell Biology Symposium)
Volume 7: 1991 (Oxford Surveys of Plant Molecular and Cell Biology)
A series of authoritative reviews of current progress in plant molecular and cellular biology. Each volume contains papers on topics in areas of molecular genetics, plant micro-organism interactions, and cell biology. The reviews are concentrated on areas of rapid development, particularly where modern techniques are allowing new insights to be gained. They are published rapidly after completion due to the pace of research in this area.
The Zebrafish: Cellular and Developmental Biology, Part B (Methods in Cell Biology, #134)
This volume of Methods in Cell Biology, the second of two parts on the subject of zebrafish, provides a comprehensive compendium of laboratory protocols and reviews covering all the new methods developed since 1999.
Cellular and Molecular Basis of Biological Clocks
Museums and Well-being outlines the historical development of well-being within museums and offers a critical engagement with this field from a museum studies perspective. The essential thesis of the book is that well-being is a collective action. The book utilises the Five Ways to Well-being as a model: Connect, Be Active, Keep Learning, Give, Take Notice. Each of these Ways are explored through a specific museum object illustrating the important role collections can play in museum well-being...
Transcription Factors and Regulation of Initiation of DNA Replication
by D.S. Pederson and N.H. Heintz
This book describes the participation of transcript factors in the regulation of DNA replication, which provides a ready mechanism for co-ordinating control of gene expression and DNA replication during the cell cycle. The role of transcription factors in origin utilization is demonstrated by discussing evidence from viral and cellular systems in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Biosorbents for Metal Ions
Metals can be dispersed, both naturally and by man's activities, into any of the Earth's elements - soil, water or air. Biological techniques for removing metal pollutants from soil, air or water are now attracting great interest, both because they are seen as more environmentally friendly than chemical treatments, and because, in some cases at least, they can be considerably cheaper. This text looks chiefly at the ways in which metal ions can be removed from the aquatic environment and looks at...
A compilation of test methods useful in risk assessment of transgenic plants. It is intended to aid the environmental researcher in finding and comparing relevant methods quickly and easily. It is also suitable as a reference work for those working in plant population biology and genetics. The major processes affecting the fate of plants are covered, with emphasis on invasion, competition and establishment, eg seed dispersal, density-dependent competition, and plant growth. Ecosystem effects and...
Atherosclerosis – Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms
With atherosclerosis being the number one cause of death in the western world, this handbook and ready reference provides a comprehensive account of the different stages and factors in the development of the atherosclerotic plaque. Each chapter is written by experts in the field and highlights the role of specific mediators of atherosclerotic plaque development, as well as potential therapeutic targets. A large amount of this up-to-date information is conveyed by way of tables and schematic fi...
