  • Autophagy Of The Nervous System: Cellular Self-digestion In Neurons And Neurological Diseases

    by Zhenyu Yue, Charleen T Chu ...
    What is autophagy? Why would neurons digest parts of themselves through autophagy? How can autophagy save the lives of cells under some conditions, but act as an accomplice to cell death in others? By what mechanisms are autophagy-related processes dysregulated in neurological diseases, and are there therapeutic strategies to correct or compensate for their dysfunction? This book provides an ... Read more

  • Tumors and Cancers

    Head – Neck – Heart – Lung – Gut

    by Dongyou Liu ...
    Series series Pocket Guides to Biomedical Sciences
    Tumors and cancers are insidious diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that extend beyond their usual boundaries and disrupt the normal functions of affected organs. Forming the second of the four volumes devoted to tumors and cancers, this volume focuses on the head/neck, cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive systems. Each chapter presents a state of the art summary ... Read more

  • Trinucleotide Diseases and Instability

    Edited by Ben A. Oostra ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Till recently, mutations in genes were described in textbooks as deletions or point mutations. These mutations can be inherited from a parent or they are de novo alterations. The discovery in 1991 that human disease can be caused by large-scale ex pansion of highly unstable trinucleotide repeats has elucidated a new mutation mechanism, heritable unstable DNA. In the subsequent years more then 10 ... Read more

  • Cortical Development

    From Specification to Differentiation

    Edited by Christine F. Hohmann ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The cerebral neo cortex, unique to mammals, is regarded as the prerequisite for higher cognitive function and is the structure most closely associated with the idea of the "mind" . Expansion of mental capa city between mammals is most typically associated with an evolutionary increase in neocortical volume that culminates in the intricately folded configuration of sulci and gyri so charac teristic ...

  • Gasotransmitters: Physiology and Pathophysiology

    Edited by Anton Hermann, Guzel F. Sitdikova, Thomas M. Weiger ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Since the epochal discovery of the radical and highly toxic gas nitric oxide (NO) as a signaling molecule, two other no less toxic gases – carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) – have been found to also be involved in a plethora of physiological and pathophysiological functions. The gases termed gasotransmitters play an increasingly important role in understanding how signalling into and ... Read more

  • Astrocytes in (Patho)Physiology of the Nervous System

    Edited by Vladimir Parpura, Philip G. Haydon ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Astrocytes were the original neuroglia that Ramón y Cajal visualized in 1913 using a gold sublimate stain. This stain targeted intermediate filaments that we now know consist mainly of glial fibrillary acidic protein, a protein used today as an astrocytic marker. Cajal described the morphological diversity of these cells with some ast- cytes surrounding neurons, while the others are intimately ... Read more

  • Stem Cell Biology in Neoplasms of the Central Nervous System

    Edited by Moneeb Ehtesham ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This volume presents the most current reviews on how cancer stem cells (CSCs) hypothesis dictates that the continued proliferation of a tumor is dependent on a sub-population of self-renewing and asymmetrically dividing neoplastic stem cells that supply a largely differentiated tumor. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the characteristics of CSCs, their role in central nervous system ... Read more

  • Müller Cells in the Healthy and Diseased Retina

    by Andreas Reichenbach, Andreas Bringmann ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Müller cells may be used in the future for novel therapeutic strategies to protect neurons against apoptosis (for example, somatic gene therapy), or to differentiate retinal neurons from Müller/stem cells. Meanwhile, a proper understanding of the gliotic responses of Müller cells in the diseased retina, and of their protective vs. detrimental effects, is essential for the development of efficient ...

  • Folding for the Synapse

    Edited by Vincent O'Connor, Andreas Wyttenbach ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Folding for the Synapse addresses the current view on how protein folding and misfolding, controlled by molecular chaperones, contribute to synapse function and dysfunction. Molecular chaperones have been studied in relation to de novo protein folding, but there is increasing awareness that chaperone function is required for the regulation of protein dynamics when functioning physiologically as an ...
