Caveolae and Lipid Rafts: Roles in Signal Transduction and the Pathogenesis of Human Disease
Inbunden, 2005
2696 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Caveolae (latin for little caves) are small structures found at the surface of cells. They are responsible for the regulation of important metabolic pathway. As a consequence, they may play a critical role in several human diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, and muscular …

This volume provides an overview of the cytoskeleton particularly on the fundamental role the cytoskeleton plays in the regulation of cell structure and function. This book represents new trends in cytoskeletal research that go beyond the traditional approach of identifying new proteins in the …
Chloride Movements Across Cellular Membranes
Av Michael Pusch, E. E. Bittar
Inbunden, 2007
2030 kr
Lägg i varukorg
All living cells are surrounded by a lipidic membrane that isolates them from the often harsh environment. However, to take up nutrients, to excrete waste, and to communicate among each other, Nature has invented an incredibly diverse set of transmembrane transport proteins. Specialized …
Physiological Functions of Cytochrome P450 in Relation to Structure and Regulation
Inbunden, 1996
1180 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Research on the cytochrome P450 family of genes has traditionally been dominated by forms participating in drug metabolism. This has occurred in spite of early discovery of steroid hydroxy lase P450 cytochromes in the adrenal gland. More recently, contributions on the characterization and …
Cell Adhesion
Av D.R. Colman
Inbunden, 1997
1306 kr
Lägg i varukorg
One prerequisite for the evolution of multicellular organisms was the invention of mechanisms by which cells could adhere to one another. At some point in our history, dividing cells no longer went their separate protozoic ways in the primordial oceans, but instead found that by maintaining an …
Protein Targeting to Mitochondria
Av Hartl, F.U. Hartl
Inbunden, 1997
1335 kr
Lägg i varukorg
A large number of newly-synthesized polypeptides must cross one or several intracellular membranes to reach their functional locations in the eukaryotic cell. The mechanisms of protein trafficking, in particular the post-translational targeting and membrane translocation of proteins, are of …
In VIVO Footprinting
Av Cartwright, I.L. Cartwright
Inbunden, 1997
1335 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The revolution in biological research initiated by the demonstration that particular DNA molecules could be isolated, recombined in novel ways, and conveniently replicated to high copy number in vivo for further study, that is, the recombinant DNA era, has spawned many additional advances, both …
Protein Structural Biology in Biomedical Research, Part A
Inbunden, 1998
1445 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Recent advances in protein structural biology, coupled with new developments in human genetics, have opened the door to understanding the molecular basis of many metabolic, physiological, and developmental processes in human biology. Medical pathologies, and their chemical therapies, are …
Ion Pumps, Part A
Inbunden, 1997
919 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells depend strongly on the function of ion pumps present in their membranes. The term ion pump, synonymous with active ion-transport system, refers to a membrane-associated protein that translocates ions uphill against an electrochemical potential gradient. Primary …
Oxyradicals in Medical Biology
Av Joan Ed. McCord, Joan Ed McCord m. fl.
Inbunden, 1998
1335 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The rapid expansion of the area of free radical biology in the last 25 years has occurred within a framework of assumptions and preconceived notions that has at times directed the course of this movement. The most dominant of these notions has been the view that free radical production is without …
Intracellular Protein Degradation
Av E. Edward Bittar, A.J. Rivett
Inbunden, 1998
1335 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This volume brings together a set of reviews that provide a summary of our current knowledge of the proteolytic machinery and of the pathways of protein breakdown of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Intracellular protein degradation is much more than just a mechanism for the removal of incorrectly …

Inbunden, 1999
1306 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The aim of "The Adhesive Interaction of Cells" has been to assemble a series of reviews by leading international experts embracing many of the most important recent developments in this rapidly expanding field. The purpose of all biological research is to understand the form and function of living …
The Biology of the Pancreatic Cell
Av Bittar, S.L. Howell
Inbunden, 1999
1306 kr
Lägg i varukorg
As a result of the key advances made more than 30 years ago, specifically the ability to isolate islets of Langerhans from the pancreas, the ability to measure insulin accurately by immunoasay, and the development of microchemical techniques for studying cells and their components, many research …
Gap Junctions
Inbunden, 1999
1197 kr

Lägg i varukorg
After a decade of dominance by recombinant DNA technology, the field of molecular and cell biology is witnessing a renewed interest in techniques and approaches that are not driven by DNA acrobatics. In hindsight, this is an inevitable outcome. Deoxyribonucleic acid is not the master; it is only a …
