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.
At the beginning of the last century, the development of the Neuroendocrine Concept sparked intensive and worldwide research efforts leading to fascinating insights into the complex and diverse system of neuroendocrine cells and its importance in human physiology and disease. Recent developments in new and expanding research areas, including developmental biology, regulation of angiogenesis, cellular signaling and transcription, and impressive results obtained by application of genomics and proteomics warranted a reevaluation of the neuroendocrine concept. impact of the current understanding of neuroendocrine biology and pathobiology in these research areas. In particular, new discoveries ar...

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.

This volume presents both research findings on colon cancer and their clinical implications on timely topics of interest to gastroenterologists, oncologists and basic scientists active in clinical research. The emphasis is on new insights that either have the potential for clinical applications or are already being utilized in experimental clinical approaches. Papers are contributed by experts from eight countries and from many scientific and clinical disciplines, including molecular genetics, biochemistry, immunology, internal medicine, gastroenterology and pathology.
