Originally based on a graduate course taught by the author, this true classic has once again been extensively updated to incorporate key new findings in biological signaling. With over half of the content re-written, plus 70 brand new and 50 revised figures, this is the most up-to-date textbook on signaling available anywhere. Thanks to its clear structure, hundreds of illustrative drawings, as well as chapter introductions and newly added study questions, this text excels as a companion for a course on biological signaling, and equally as an introductory reference to the field for students and researchers. Generations of students and junior researchers have relied on "the Krauss" to find their way through the bewildering complexity of biological signaling pathways.
This all-new edition of a classic text has been thoroughly revised to keep pace with the rapid progress in signal transduction research. With didactic skill and clarity the author relates the observed biological phenomena to the underlying biochemical processes. Directed to advanced students, teachers, and researchers in biochemistry and molecular biology, this book describes the molecular basis of signal transduction, regulated gene expression, the cell cycle, tumorigenesis and apoptosis. "Provides a comprehensive account of cell signaling and signal transduction and, where possible, explains these processes at the molecular level" (Angewandte Chemie) "The clear and didactic presentation makes it a textbook very useful for students and researchers not familiar with all aspects of cell regulation." (Biochemistry) "This book is actually two books: Regulation and Signal Transduction." (Drug Research)
In this book, Rudakemwa shares with us intriguing questions which lead to thinking about the existence of a new way of communication used by living cells. These ideas lead to a new theory that revolutionizes the way we previously conceived the internal organization of living beings. Not only this theory is new in its own way but it also brings in many other stunning consequences about the living world as we know it. In this book, He also goes deep to cover other issues such as a review of the theory of evolution and the origins of human conflicts.
With contributions from an international array of experts, this book explains why biotechnology companies in different countries are concentrated in a small number of locations and what accounts for their success.
First published in 1998. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
Sport tourism is now widely regarded as a tool for sustainable local development. This book brings together 24 authors from a range of countries to address this topic, with analyses ranging from particular types of events to more theoretical approaches concerning the role of sport tourism in the development of Spanish cities or the digital communication of sporting events in Italy as a means of promotion. The book is geared towards academic researchers and students interested in sport tourism, sport economics, management, and sustainable development, as well as policymakers and professionals tasked with dynamic tools to promote their territory.

A comprehensive study of the principles of cell signalling, concentrating on the structural and mechanistic aspects. The book is divided into four parts describing the machinery of signal transduction, the implementation of the signalling cascades focussing on the effect on gene transcription, the globular cellular regulatory programs, and the loss of regulatory control and its consequences with repsect to the molecular basis of cancer. There are well over 200 figures, many in 3-D representations.
Trust and cooperation are at the heart of the two most important approaches to comparative politics - rational choice and political culture. Yet we know little about trust's relationship to political institutions. This book sets out a rationalist theory of how institutions - and in particular informal institutions - can affect trust without reducing it to fully determine expectations. It then shows how this theory can be applied to comparative political economy, and in particular to explaining inter-firm cooperation in industrial districts, geographical areas of intense small firm collaboration. The book compares trust and cooperation in two prominent districts in the literature, one in Emilia Romagna, Italy, and the other in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It also sets out and applies a theory of how national informal institutions may change as a result of changes in global markets, and shows how similar mechanisms may explain persistent distrust too among Sicilian Mafiosi.
