Cellular Signal Processing
Cellular Signal Processing offers a unifying view of cell signaling based on the concept that protein interactions act as sophisticated data processing networks that govern intracellular and extracellular communication. It is intended for use in signal transduction courses for undergraduate and graduate students working in biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, and pharmacology, as well as medical students. The text is organized by three key topics central to signal transduction: the protein network, its energy supply, and its evolution. It covers all important aspects of cell signaling, ranging from prokaryotic signal transduction to neuronal signaling, and also highlights the clinical aspects of cell signaling in health and disease. This new edition includes expanded coverage of prokaryotes, as well as content on new developments in systems biology, epigenetics, redox signaling, and small, non-coding RNA signaling.

Eicosanoids and the Skin
This publication summarizes the increasing knowledge in eicosanoid research. It provides a detailed overview of this rapidly expanding field. The text contains sections on general aspects of arachidonic acid metabolism, the role of eicosanoids in skin diseases, and their biological and biochemical effects in skin. Also included is a section on inhibitors of arachidonic acid metabolism with particular reference to use in dermatology. New concepts covered are: possible physiological role of lipoxygenase products in cutaneous wound healing, restoration and maintenance of cutaneous integrity, and the recently recognized protective function of prostaglandins in skin. It is an invaluable resource for individuals involved with dermatology, pharmacology, inflammation, immunology, biochemistry, physiology, internal medicine and therapeutics.
Oxidative Stress
Oxidative Stress is intended as an in-depth account of knowledge and problems in the field of oxygen-related damage in biological systems. The topics range from an assessment of molecular events in in vitro model systems to complex problems in clinical medicine. Organized into two parts with a total of 18 chapters, this book begins with an introduction to oxidative stress, elucidating specific topics on reactive oxygen species, detoxification system, and nature of oxidative damage. The first part focuses on models used with cells and tissues in the study of oxidative stress, whereas the second part describes the processes elicited by oxidative stress.
Environmental Politics and Liberation in Contemporary Africa
Nowadays, the environment looms large in the analysis of conflict in developing societies, and the precise role it plays is the subject of an ongoing debate. The de bate has moved on from the earlier, but still popular, notions of 'power struggles', 'class struggles' and 'ethnic conflicts', to a perception of conflict as the product of intense group competition for resources. Where the state controls the distribu tion of resources, itself inevitably becomes party to conflicts whose bone of con tention is access to state power as the most efficient means of gaining access to resources. The resources in question are social (health, education, transportation, communication, recreation, etc. ) a...
