One completely unexplored area in terms of physiology is the era of dinosaurs – with good reason, they lived over 100 million years ago and we're left to make inference based on fossilized bones. However, by merging classical, comparative and extreme physiology and applying it to current paleontological knowledge of dinosaurs Balancing a Sauropod: The Physiology of a Dinosaur will for the first time begin to provide a sound physiological underpinning for how they may have lived 100 million years ago.The climate dinosaurs lived in was extremely hypoxic compared to what we live in now, begging the question, how did the dinosaurs breathe in the hypoxic Jurassic era? These questions and others...
Plasma membrane-associated channels known as gap junctions, along with their protein building blocks-connexins-have an important functional role in a range of immunological processes. This book assembles and synthesizes four decades of the most important research carried out in this field. The chapters focus on the latest progress made on translating the knowledge gained to specific treatment modalities, including approaches for reducing scarring and cardiac arrhythmia, combating inflammation in the central nervous system and enhancing epithelial tissue repair. The book will inform and update specialists, clinical practitioners and those studying the potential for commercial applications.
This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue "Interplay of Connexins and Pannexins in Tissue Function and Disease" that was published in IJMS

Research centering on blood flow in the heart continues to hold an important position, especially since a better understanding of the subject may help reduce the incidence of coronary arterial disease and heart attacks. This book summarizes recent advances in the field; it is the product of fruitful cooperation among international scientists who met in Japan in May, 1990 to discuss the regulation of coronary blood flow.
The American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2016 is bringing big science, big technology, and big networking opportunities to New Orleans, Louisiana this November. This event features five days of the best in science and cardiovascular clinical practice covering all aspects of basic, clinical, population and translational content.
Der Makrokosmos, den wir als Kulturwesen ständig verändern, beeinflusst auch den Mikrokosmos unserer Zellen. Dies hat Konsequenzen nicht nur für unsere Ernährung, unseren Lebensstil und die Medizin, sondern auch für den Umgang mit unserer Umwelt und den Ressourcen. Und es hat Konsequenzen für die Regeln, die wir uns als freie Menschen auferlegen, um zu überleben. Aufgrund der herausragenden Bedeutung der Relationen werden in diesem Buch drei neue Begriffe vorgeschlagen: das Relationom beziehungsweise die Relationome, die Relationom-Forschung und die Relationomische Medizin. Denn alles ist miteinander verbunden. Wir leben in Beziehung zu allem, was da draußen und in uns ist, mittelbar und unmittelbar. Deshalb ist die Betrachtung von Relationomen des Makro- und Mikrokosmos fundamental in der Relationomischen Medizin. Die Relationomische Medizin ist eine praktische Wissenschaft, bei der die Relationome in Hinblick auf ihre Bedeutung für die Prävention, Entstehung und Heilung von Krankheiten im Fokus stehen.
These are exciting times for the field of optical imaging of brain function. Rapid developments in theory and technology continue to considerably advance understanding of brain function. Reflecting changes in the field during the past five years, the second edition of In Vivo Optical Imaging of Brain Function describes state-of-the-art techniques and their applications for the growing field of functional imaging in the live brain using optical imaging techniques. New in the Second Edition: Voltage-sensitive dyes imaging in awake behaving animals Imaging based on genetically encoded probes Imaging of mitochondrial auto-fluorescence as a tool for cortical mapping Using pH-sensitive dyes for fu...
