Annotation Contains 42 seminal papers illustrating advances in cell biology, along with brief commentaries that place the papers in historical and intellectual context. All papers are studies of eukaryotes, and are grouped according to themes of genome organization and replication, transcription, nuclear envelope and nuclear import, mitosis and cell cycle control, cell membrane and extracellular matrix, protein synthesis and membrane traffic, and cytoskeleton. Lacks a subject index. Gall teaches embryology at the Carnegie Institution. McIntosh teaches cell biology at the University of Colorado. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
Methods in Cell Biology
A Top 25 CHOICE 2016 Title, and recipient of the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title (OAT) Award. How much energy is released in ATP hydrolysis? How many mRNAs are in a cell? How genetically similar are two random people? What is faster, transcription or translation?Cell Biology by the Numbers explores these questions and dozens of others provid
This unique book presents an approach to viewing trauma. It examines the cellular consequences of trauma at a molecular level and provides new insights into the treatment of traumatic injury, based on cellular responses. The current of trauma research is reviewed, previously unpublished information on the topic is presented, and research directions are included.
The Biology of Amoeba discusses the general biology, morphology, movement and related phenomena, and biochemical and physiological studies of amoeba. This book is organized into five parts, encompassing 21 chapters that primarily focus on large free-living amoeba. After briefly discussing the highlights of studies involving amoeba, the book goes on describing the biological aspects of amoeba, including its taxonomy, phylogeny, culture, and maintaining methods. The second part describes the general morphology, ultrastructure, and cellular membrane of amoeba. The third part includes discussions on the movement of Chaos-Amoeba group; the amoeboid behavioral and motile responses; the molecular m...
Microbes as Tools for Cell Biology bridges the gap between cell biology and microbiology. This laboratory guide provides a microbial tool kit for biologists who wish to use microbes as probes for basic cellular functions. The volume is organized into three sections, covering essential information on culture and genetic manipulation of microbes, assays for pathogen-host recognition, and analysis of intracellular parasitism. Each chapter outlines practical procedures and describes the rationale behind their development. This volume should prove useful to anyone interested in the biology of infectious agents, or their exploitation as a new generation of cell biological reagents.Key Features* Introduction by renowned microbiologist Dr. Stanley Falkow* Covers manipulation of pathogens, especially generation and selection of non-virulent phenotypes* Guides researchers in the study of intracellular pathogenesis* Describes microbial adherence and phagocytosis assays* Focuses on protein trafficking in infected cells* Well-illustrated with color plates, halftones, and diagrams
