International Review of Cytology
Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Genome Structure and Function, held in Marciana Marina, Elba, Italy, 13-23 June 1996
Research on the nuclear matrix has grown enormously since Bereney and Coffey first reported its isolation and initial characterization in 1974. Since then, more than 1000 papers have been published on the subject by numerous workers around the world. This is the first book devoted to reviewing the major developments in this growing field. Key Features * The chapters cover a variety of topics, including: * Isolation of the nuclear matrix * Nuclear structure morphology in situ * Structural domains of the nuclear matrix and its components * Biochemistry and molecular biology of the matrix proteins and associated DNA and RNA * Functional properties associated with the nuclear matrix * DNA replication * Transcription * RNA splicing * Transcription regulation * Intranuclear and nucleocytoplasmic transport and targeting * Cell cycle regulation
This comprehensive work provides detailed information on all known proteolytic enzymes to date. This two-volume set unveils new developments on proteolytic enzymes which are being investigatedin pharmaceutical research for such diseases as HIV, Hepatitis C, and the common cold. Volume I covers aspartic and metallo petidases while Volume II examines peptidases of cysteine, serine, threonine and unknown catalytic type. A CD-ROM accompanies the book containing fully searchable text, specialised scissile bond searches, 3-D color structures and much more.
The biennial TNF-family conferences have been held over the past 20 years, from the time that TNF was cloned. These meetings have followed the enormous progress in this field. Much is now known about the members of the TNF ligand and receptor families, their signaling proteins, mechanisms of action and cellular functions. This volume is the proceedings of the 12th TNF International Conference, held in April 2009. This conference focuses on the physiological, pathophysiological, and medical significance of these important regulators. Sessions at the meeting specifically address their involvement in immunity, development, apoptosis, autoimmunity, cancer, and infection, the normal function and pathology of the neuronal system, as well as major unresolved questions about their mechanisms of action.
Principles of Bone Regeneration is a timely publication that addresses the modern aspects of bone healing and repair. This exciting new volume details the convergence of the different experimental and clinical approaches designed for the study and treatment of bone healing in its diverse forms and under varying conditions. Bone healing is affected by a multitude of genetic, environmental, mechanical, cellular and endocrine variables which eventually lead to changes in gene expression that enhance the guided action of osteoblasts (and chondroblasts) to lay down bone that restores, or even improves, the skeletal load bearing capacity. Recent breakthroughs in understanding the regulatory aspects of bone formation and resorption, in both research and clinical arenas offer new modalities to induce, enhances and guide repair processes in bone for the benefit of millions of patients with conditions such as nonunion fractures, critical size defects, orthodontic tooth movement, periodontal bone loss, intraosseous implants and deformed bones.
This, the sixth volume in a series of reviews centered on a single major topic in osteopathy, examines pediatric bone development. It covers problematic aspects from basic skeletal growth to tooth mineralization, and synthesizes theory and practice.
