The Role of Pendrin in Health and Disease
This book reviews the current state of knowledge on the genetics, molecular biology and physiology of pendrin, with a particular focus on pendrin dysfunction and the consequences for human health. Pendrin is a membrane transport protein expressed in the thyroid, inner ear, kidney and airways, and was recently found in a variety of other tissues and organs. Pendrin malfunction may cause a genetic disease called Pendred syndrome or non-syndromic deafness. The book provides a thorough description of the multifaceted role of pendrin in human health and disease. As such, it offers an invaluable tool for physiology and pathology researchers, while also providing essential guidance for otorhinolaryngologists and endocrinologists in the diagnosis of Pendred syndrome and pendrin-related deafness.
Molecular Biology and Physiology of Water and Solute Transport
Biophysical studies in the 1950ies and 1960ies led to the realization that the water permeability of certain biological membranes must be due to the presence of water transporting proteins. This hypothesis was confirmed in 1991 and 1992 with the pioneering discovery of the first molecular membrane water channel, CHIP28, by Agre and coworkers. This integral membrane protein, which is abundant in the erythrocyte membrane and in many epithelial cells, is now called aquaporin-1 or AQP1. Thus the terms water channel or aquaporin are synonymous. In July 2000 more than 200 researchers came together in Gothenburg, Sweden, for the `3rd International Conference on the Molecular Biology and Physiology of Water and Solute Transport" to discuss progress in this emerging research field. 58 different presentations from this conference are the basis for this book. Cumulatively, these 58 short chapters provide a balanced overview complementing numerous recent reviews in this field.
72nd Annual Meeting of the Italian Society of Physiology: New Perspectives in Physiological Research
The 72nd Meeting of the Italian Society of Physiology (SIF) gathers scientists from universities and institutes across Europe and offers a platform for discussing the most exciting developments in the areas of basic and translational physiology. This Frontiers Research Topic will collect varied contributions from original research to review articles from SIF participants covering key achievements and latest advancements in the field of physiology. This collection is led by Guest Editors Prof. Giovanna Valenti, Prof. Andrea Gerbino and Prof. Grazia Tamma from Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro and Prof. Fiorenzo Conti from Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy.
The Role of the State in Development Processes
First Published in 1992. Bringing together papers from analysts from every continent, edited by Claude Auroi, this collection offers insight into the state's role and the challenges in researching its development. The authors recognise the concerns among young nations focused on which type of state system would lead to an organised nation while acknowledging the two major symbols of discussion in the Western type of state and the Marxist state. They argue points of commonality and thus analyse the qualifying adjective of 'state' to suggest patterns and future discernments.
