DNA Microarrays, Part B (Methods in Enzymology)
by Alan R Kimmel Brian Oliver
Modern DNA microarray technologies have evolved over the past 25 years to the point where it is now possible to take many million measurements from a single experiment. These two volumes, Parts A & B in the Methods in Enzymology series provide methods that will shepard any molecular biologist through the process of planning, performing, and publishing microarray results. Part A starts with an overview of a number of microarray platforms, both commercial and academically produced and includes w...
Pollen Terminology
by Michael Hesse, Heidemarie Halbritter, and Reinhard Zetter
Palynology is important in basic as well as in manifold applied sciences, as e.g. biology, medicine, forensics, earth history, climatology and food production. This volume is the first fully illustrated handbook of palynological principles and glossary terms, exclusively using LM and EM micrographs of superior quality. A comprehensive General Chapter on pollen morphology, anatomy, pollen development etc. based on the present knowledge in palynology introduces the reader in the world of pollen. T...

Cell Function and Specialization (Sci-Hi) (Sci-Hi: Life Science)
by Lori Johnson
How many cells are in the human body? How does a flagellum help a cell move? How does a cell get energy to function? The visually stimulating 'Sci-Hi' books take learning science core curriculum to a whole new exciting level. Each title explores an area of life, physical, or earth science in a way that is both engaging and comprehensive.
This�volume includes chapters by experts around the world on many aspects of microtubule imaging in living and fixed cells; assays to study microtubule function in a wide array of model organisms and cultured cells; high resolution approaches to study of the cytoskeleton. The authors share their years of experience, outlining potential pitfalls and critical factors to consider in experimental design, experimental implementation and data interpretation. Iincludes chapters by experts around the wo...
Lectins and Glycobiology (Springer Laboratory)
The role of lectins and glycoconjugates in various cellular processes is receiving increased interest. Since many cellular glycoconjugates are ligands for lectins, they are used as efficacious tools in biochemistry and cell research. This volume provides all of the relevant techniques to investigate the structure and function of lectins and their various reactions. Included are methods for the preparation of synthetic carbohydrate ligands, the determination of physico-chemical properties of lect...
Azospirillum IV
th th On June 17 and 18 1987 the fourth workshop on "Azospi rillum: Genetics, Physiology, Ecology" took place at the Uni ver sity of Bayreuth, West Germany, organized by the Genetics depart ment. There were about 80 participants, who came from German research institutions, from other European countries, from Is rael, Egypt, India, North Vietnam, and North and South America. The former workshops had also taken place in Bayreuth, in 1981, 1983 and 1985, hence the organizers could draw on the e...
The mammalian cytoskeleton is an internal framework of actin, tubulin, and intermediate filament proteins. Proteins of these three classes assemble non-covalently into filamentous polymers that support the structural integrity of the relatively fragile lipid plasma membrane. In addition, cytoskeletal polymers provide the mechanical strength that hold a cell together and anchor it to its growth substrate. The cytoskeleton must also have the capacity for rapid and substantial remodeling and provid...
Molecular Ecology of Aquatic Microbes (NATO ASI Subseries G, #38)
A NATO ASI on "Molecular Ecology of Aquatic Microbes" was held at II Ciocco, Lucca, Italy from 28 August - 9 September 1994. The aims of the ASI were to evaluate the potential for molecular biology to solve some important questions in aquatic microbiology, particularly in relation to biogeochemical cycling and microbial physiology. Techniques developed by molecular biologists have now been adopted by a wide range of scientific disciplines. In the last 5 years, aquatic microbial ecologists have b...
Atlas of Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
by Mauro Cresti, Department of Botany Stephen Blackmore, and Jacobus L Van Went
Comprising about one hundred plates this atlas documents anddescribes the processes concerning the sexual reproductionin higher plants. It is dividedinto three parts:- Anther Development- Pistil Development- Progamic Phase and Fertilization.The scanning, transmission electron and light micrographsare all of immaculate quality and - for the viewer'sorientation - almost each plate is complemented by a schemeshowing a larger area of the plant indicating the site ofthe section.Together with instruct...
The Delivery of Regenerative Medicines and Their Impact on Healthcare
Now that prohibitions against stem cell research are relaxing, it is time for the field to move forward with the advances that promise to eliminate so much human suffering. However, it would be naive to ignore the fact that regenerative medicines pose a whole new set of challenges to an industry sector that for decades has geared itself to the development and delivery of traditional pharmaceuticals. Still, significant strides are being made. Unique in its focus, The Delivery of Regenerative Med...
The acousticolateral system plays an important role in the biological activity of vertebrates. It includes the organ of Corty, the vestibular and otolith apparatus, lateral-line organs and electroreceptors. Throughout the acousticolateral system, the sensory receptors are hair cells. Provided here is a comprehensive overview of current research on synaptic transmission in sensory hair cells. Morphological characteristics are presented and data on the properties and selectivity of various ionic c...
In the second edition of Cell-Cell Interactions: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers in the field detail a collection of protocols to examine interactions between cells. These include protocols that focus on both in vivo and in vitro methods-based approaches. New updated chapters also bring together many currently used assays in examining cell-cell interactions and the biological consequences of those interactions. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series forma...
