Enzyme Dynamics and Regulation
Recent developments in concepts and techniques have brought enzyme research to a changing yet exciting stage. Enzymes have served as indispensable tools in the phenomenal rise of molecular biology, and the resultant biotechnology thrusts enzymes to new heights and territories. This volume, the proceedings of a recent symposium on the Dynamics of Soluble and Immobilized Enzyme Systems, provides a current overview of the field to help scientists utilize long-established and newly acquired information.
The Linear Algebra a Beginning Graduate Student Ought to Know
Linear algebra is a living, active branch of mathematics which is central to almost all other areas of mathematics, both pure and applied, as well as to computer science, to the physical, biological, and social sciences, and to engineering. It encompasses an extensive corpus of theoretical results as well as a large and rapidly-growing body of computational techniques. Unfortunately, in the past decade, the content of linear algebra courses required to complete an undergraduate degree in mathematics has been depleted to the extent that they fail to provide a sufficient theoretical or computational background. Students are not only less able to formulate or even follow mathematical proofs, th...
HER2
This book exemplifies the evolution of oncogene HER2-encoded enzyme from its discovery to the stage of a fully recognized target for breast cancer therapy. Intensive research over the last three decades has uncovered major mechanisms that regulate the transformation of a normal tissue to a malignant tumor. However, to the disappointment of many molecular biologists, these significant advances in identifying oncogenes, tumor-suppressors and critical signalling pathways have generated only limited impact in clinical oncology. This frustration may not persist for long: tailor-made drugs developed specifically to recognize molecular targets, and intercept biochemical engines whose intricacy is well understood, are on the verge of revolutionizing contemporary medicine.
Progress in Oncology 2004
The fourth volume in this outstanding series of annual updates in oncology, Progress in Oncology 2004 addresses fifteen of the most important "hot topics" in the field. Under the careful direction of Drs. DeVita, Hellman, and Rosenberg, each volume in this exciting series presents concise summaries of the state of the art in cancer basic science and clinical application, written by 15 of the top researchers and clinicians in the world.As with all the volumes in the series, PIO 2004 covers critical issues in clinical cancer care and research in a scholarly though readable style. Chapters on advances in treatment and diagnosis, including DNA microarrays, growth factor receptors, new applications of thalidomide, and allografting in NHL review the state of the art in these emerging fields. Top experts provide timely overviews of focused ultrasound therapy, hormone therapy for prostate cancer, and CHOP and rituxin for DLCL. In a special surgery section, world-class authorities discuss approaches to rectal cancer. These and other rigorously referenced chapters make PIO 2004 an indispensable new oncology resource.
Advances in Cancer Research
The Advances in Cancer Research series provides invaluable information on the exciting and fast-moving field of cancer research. A very special event the Nobel Minisymposium, "Molecular Oncology – From Bench to Bedside, held at the Karolinska Instituet, in Stockholm, Sweden, was marked the celebration of George and Eva Klein's combined 160th birthday. To honor this occasion, this volume brings together contributions by their former students, colleagues and collaborators of the past fifty years into a volume of Advances in Cancer Research dedicated to George and Eva. Over a decade ago, a subdivision of ACR called "Foundations in Cancer Research was initiated and the tributes honoring the Kleins' bodies of work presented at the minisymposium are especially appropriate for the series.
Wintrobe's Clinical Hematology
Comprehensive in scope and thoroughly up to date, Wintrobe’s Clinical Hematology, 15th Edition, combines the biology and pathophysiology of hematology as well as the diagnosis and treatment of commonly encountered hematological disorders. Editor-in-chief Dr. Robert T. Means, Jr., along with a team of expert section editors and contributing authors, provide authoritative, in-depth information on the biology and pathophysiology of lymphomas, leukemias, platelet destruction, and other hematological disorders as well as the procedures for diagnosing and treating them. Packed with more than 1,500 tables and figures throughout, this trusted text is an indispensable reference for hematologists, oncologists, residents, nurse practitioners, and pathologists.
Signaling Networks and Cell Cycle Control
Leading scientists summarize the latest findings on signal transduction and cell cycle regulation and describe the effort to design and synthesize inhibiting molecules, as well as to evaluate their biochemical and biological activities. They review the relevant cell surface receptors, their ligands, and their downstream pathways. Also examined are the latest findings on the components of novel signaling networks controlling the activity of nuclear transcription factors and cell cycle regulatory molecules. Cutting-edge and highly suggestive, Signaling Networks and Cell Cycle Control: The Molecular Basis of Cancer and Other Diseases presents a wealth of information on the emerging principles of the field, as well as an invaluable guide for all experimental and clinical investigators of cell regulation and its rapidly emerging pharmacological opportunities today.
Current Topics in Cellular Regulation
Current Topics in Cellular Regulation, Volume 10 presents the fundamental mechanisms involved in the regulation of diverse cellular activities, including cellular differentiation, intermediary metabolism, and the transfer of genetic information. This book provides information pertinent to the various aspects of cellular regulation. Organized into six chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the enzymes that exhibit half-of-the-sites activity. This text then examines the two different aspects of cyclic AMP-mediated systems. Other chapters consider the possible role of citrate synthase in the regulation of the citric acid cycle. This book discusses as well the regulation of the pentose phosphate pathway. The final chapter reviews the evidence for the occurrence of futile cycles at three control points in the metabolism of glucose, namely, at the level of glucose phosphorylation, at the interconversion of fructose mono- and biophosphates, and between pyruvate and phosphenol pyruvate. This book is a valuable resource for biochemists, biologists, and research workers.
