Future Perspectives in Gastroenterology
In 1996, an international symposium entitled "Future Perspectives in Gastroenterology" was held in the city of Leipzig, State of Saxony, Germany. Leading scientists in diverse fields of gastroenterology presented their recent findings and undertook the propitious risk of speculating about future directions. Thanks once again to the generous support of the Falk Foundation, it was possible to revisit a symposium with the same title, but held this time in the beautiful, rebuilt city of Dresden in Saxony. This book contains the proceedings of the Falk Symposium No. 161 on "Future Perspectives in Gastroenterology", held October 11–12, 2007. It presents many innovative themes as well as "new faces" and offers a rich opportunity to learn firsthand about the latest scientific discoveries in the broad field of gastroenterology. Several of these novel developments are probably well on their way to being implemented in clinical practice.
The Electrophysiology of Neuroendocrine Cells
The Electrophysiology of Neuroendocrine Cells explores the role of electrical activity in neuroendocrine cells in stimulus-secretion coupling, sensory mechanisms, and intercellular communication. This comprehensive and concise handbook includes introductory material on the ontogenesis and classification of the neuroendocrine system and describes general electrical properties, voltage-gated ion channels, and the pharmacology of ion channels. By focusing on functional aspects, The Electrophysiology of Neuroendocrine Cells provides research scientists, physicians, and students with a basic understanding of neuroendocrine cells and their similarity to neurones, as well as their relationship to thyroid- or steroid-hormone secreting endocrine cells. The multidisciplinary nature of this book provides readers with a broad perspective on the electrical properties of neuroendocrine cells, and the combination of general information and specialized information makes the book accessible to beginning and advanced readers alike.
Intestinal Plasticity in Health and Disease
This volume covers the proceedings of the conference on intestinal plasticity in health and disease and evaluates the molecular and cell biological mechanisms responsible for various aspects of intestinal growth and differentiation during embryogenesis and development. It highlights insights into recently discovered molecular mechanisms involved in regulation of gene expression, morphogenesis and epithelial polarization during intestinal development. The book also focuses on how intestinal cells interact with various functional compartments in the gut, such as the immune system, mesenchyme, intestinal microflora, as well as the nervous system. In addition, it reviews insights into the mechanisms of intestinal disease trying to relate experimental observations with diagnostic or therapeutic strategies.
Molecular and Cell Biological Aspects of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Disease
New molecular and cell biological approaches in the fields of neurobiology and neuroendocrinology have identified a large number of molecules that can be assigned structurally and functionally to various subcellular structures, such as secretory vesicles, the Golgi complex, the trans-Golgi network, and endosomes. It has become evident that neurons and neuroendocrine cells share many properties, such as the expression of very similar secretory vesicles and molecules, including cell adhesion molecules, neurotransmitters, hormones, neurotransmitter-receptors and hormone-receptors. Various molecules discovered and characterised in basic research have been found to be increasingly applicable for improved diagnosis and therapy of neuroendocrine tumour disease. This volume reviews current research in both basic science and clinical research from the viewpoint of its direct applicability to clinical medicine.
Radiotherapy in practice - radioisotope therapy
Radioisotope therapy is an internal form of radiation used to treat cancer; it may be administered orally or intravenously and represents the nearest treatment option to the 'magic bullet', specifically targeting sites of disease whilst sparing surrounding normal tissues. Radioisotope therapy has an important role to play in modern medicine, particularly in the treatment of thyroid disease, neuroendocrine tumours, bone metastasis and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is found in both the diagnostic setting and in therapy, but recently there has been a renaissance in the application of radioisotope unsealed sources in therapeutic indications. It is an active area of research, with the quest for new ...
