Handbook of Computational Neurodegeneration
The Handbook of Computational Neurodegeneration provides a comprehensive overview of the field and thus bridges the gap between standard textbooks of research on neurodegeneration and dispersed publications for specialists that have a narrowed focus on computational methods to study this complicated process. The handbook reviews the central issues and methodological approaches related to the field for which the reader pursues a thorough overview. It also conveys more advanced knowledge, thus serving both as an introductory text and as a starting point for an in-depth study of a specific area, as well as a quick reference source for the expert by reflecting the state of the art and future pro...
Redox Biology in Plasma Medicine
Plasma medicine uses non-equilibrium plasmas generated under atmospheric-pressure conditions. Therapeutical plasmas can stimulate tissue regeneration or inactivate cancer cells. This book reviews the interrelation between plasma chemistry and biochemistry complemented by discussion of the ways plasmas inactivate various pathogens. Focus is on the plasma effects on mammalian cells, subsequent consequences for cell-biological processes, and plasma applicability specific medical therapies. Contributions illustrate the ways cold atmospheric-pressure plasma can be used as a controllable source of redox-active species and as a useful tool for research in redox biology. Key Features Summarizes plasma chemistry, biochemistry, and microbiology Documents the ways plasmas interact with lipids, membranes, and cells Reviews therapeutic uses of plasmas in medicine Focuses on uses of plasmas as cancer treatment
Modulation of Oxidative Stress
Modulation of Oxidative Stress: Biochemical, Physiological and Pharmacological Aspects explores the field using an interdisciplinary approach, including chemical, biological, physiological, pharmaceutical, pharmacological and physicochemical perspectives. The book is comprised of three main parts, with the first discussing the biochemical aspects of oxidative stress modulation. Other sections cover physiological and pathophysiological aspects on relevant conditions, including aging, neurological diseases, cerebral cavernous malformation, maternal and early-life malnutrition, Alzheimer's disease, liver transplant, and cancer. Final content is dedicated to pharmacological aspects and includes ...
Proteostasis and Proteolysis
Proteostasis integrates biological pathways controlling biogenesis, trafficking, folding, and degradation of proteins. This book focuses on two protein breakdown/degradation processes (proteolysis), which are part of a normally functioning proteostatic system: the ubiquitin-proteasome system and autophagy. Chapter 2 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.
The Ubiquitin Code
This volume details novel and popular approaches to decipher the Ubiquitin Code. Chapters guide readers through ubiquitin chain complexity, methods to generate non-hydrolysable ubiquitin-NEDD8, a fully synthetic method for the linear synthesis of fluorescently labelled rhodamine LC3A and LC3B, a HECT ligase-mediated ubiquitylation in vitro, a RNAi-based screening to identify DUBs, a Yuh1 activity assay, a pull-down to isolate K48 and K63 chains using specific nanobodies, identification of NeDDylated protein based in a NEDD8R74K mutant, in vivo identification of NEDDylated proteins from liver diseases, UbL-ID method to identify ubiquitin-like modified proteins, a LC3/GABARAP capturing system,...
Physiological Consequences of Brain Insulin Action
The brain is crucial for the regulation of whole-body metabolism and behavior. The pancreas-derived hormone insulin modulates brain function and affects energy metabolism as well as cognition. This is partially achieved by modulating several types of brain cell populations including those relevant to satiety and reward. Importantly, brains of Alzheimer ́s disease patients exhibit a signature of brain insulin resistance with perturbed brain metabolism. This book will cover the basics of insulin signaling in the brain and will describe concepts of insulin resistance, a feature of type 2 diabetes. Moreover insulin ́s effect on cognitive function will be pointed out and the association between...
Proteostasis and Proteolysis
Proteostasis integrates biological pathways controlling biogenesis, trafficking, folding, and degradation of proteins. Essential aspects of cell function are proeostasic and relevant for diseases such a cancer, obesity, and aging. Various pharmacological interventions can mitigate the impact of proteostatic breakdown. This book focuses on two protein breakdown/degradation processes (proteolysis), which are part of a normally functioning proteostatic system : the ubiquitin-proteasome system and autophagy. These systems and their regulation are affected by endogenous stress and environmental stimuli. Deregulation in proteolysis results in proteostasis failure : protein misfolding and accumulation of damaged and oxidized proteins resulting in neurodegenerative diseases such Alzheimer's, parkinson's, and Huntington's.
