Membrane Research: Classic Origins and Current Concepts is a special volume of the International Review of Cytology dedicated to Dr. Danielli on the occasion of his retirement from official duties. The central theme of the volume is membranes. The diversity of topics ranges from the biogenesis of membranes and their components, to the use of optical and lectin probes as a means to study the structure, physiology, and interactions of cell components and organelles in plant and animal systems. The book begins with a study on the cell surface of the mammalian embryo and the events associated with the formation of the differentiated blastocyst. This is followed by separate chapters on the struct...
The Role of Membranes in Metabolic Regulation is the second volume in a series of in-depth reviews of specific areas of metabolic regulation. This volume is based on the 1972 symposium on The Role of Membranes in Metabolic Regulation held at the University of Nebraska Medical School. Separating 20 manuscripts into chapters, this book emphasizes membrane structure and function as well as utilization of affinity chromatography for purification of biologically important cellular components, called membrane receptors. It also discusses the role of phospholipids in hormone sensitive enzyme systems, with an emphasis on adenylate cyclase system. Other chapters describe the induction of steroidogene...

The Biology of Amoeba discusses the general biology, morphology, movement and related phenomena, and biochemical and physiological studies of amoeba. This book is organized into five parts, encompassing 21 chapters that primarily focus on large free-living amoeba. After briefly discussing the highlights of studies involving amoeba, the book goes on describing the biological aspects of amoeba, including its taxonomy, phylogeny, culture, and maintaining methods. The second part describes the general morphology, ultrastructure, and cellular membrane of amoeba. The third part includes discussions on the movement of Chaos-Amoeba group; the amoeboid behavioral and motile responses; the molecular m...
Biology of the Rhizobiaceae covers the genetics, molecular biology, agricultural, and morphological aspects of the rhizobia. The book discusses the taxonomy and identification of the Rhizobiaceae; the biology of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and the specific events in the disease cycle of crown gall; and the agricultural control of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The text also describes the growth potential of crown gall tumors and crown gall teratoma; plasmid studies in crown gall tumorigenesis; and the biology and microbiology of Agrobacterium rhizogenes. The recognition in rhizobium-legume symbioses; the rhizobium bacteroid state; and the exchange of metabolites and energy between legume and rhizobium are also considered. The book further tackles the mutants of rhizobium that are altered in legume interaction and nitrogen fixation; as well as the significance and application of Rhizobium in agriculture. Botanists, agriculturists, geneticists, molecular biologists, microbiologists, plant pathologists, and agronomists will find the book invaluable.
This is a fascinating collection of personal accounts which is a "must read" for anyone interested in membrane transport or the history of the development of the current picture of membrane transport physiology. This delightful book could serve variously as a history for investigators and historians or as a textbook for advanced students. No biology or medical library should be without it

International Review of Cytology presents current advances and comprehensive reviews in cell biology – both plant and animal. Authored by some of the foremost scientists in the field, each volume provides up-to-date information and directions for future research.
Molecular Pharmacology: The Model of Action of Biologically Active Compounds, Volume 1 discusses the mode of action of bioactive compounds on a molecular level. This book reviews the processes that control the uptake of drugs, their diffusion through tissues, as well as their metabolism and excretion. Comprised of three sections, this volume starts with an overview of the different aspects of drug distribution and metabolism. This text then examines the totality of intermolecular processes or reactions between drug and receptor molecules, which is known as drug-receptor interaction. Other chapters explore the actions of various pharmacodynamic agents, including hormones and substances with selective toxicity, auxins, and odorants. This book discusses as well the ways in which the actions of drugs combine with the tissues and act upon themselves. The final chapter deals with the complicated types of relations between stimulus and effect. Pharmacologists and researchers will find this book useful.
Cells and Their Component Parts, Volume II covers the cell constituents: the cell membrane, plant cell walls, ameboid movement, cilia and flagella, mitochondria, lysosomes and related particles, chloroplasts, Golgi apparatus, the ground substance, and the interphase nucleus and its interaction with the cytoplasm. The book discusses their biochemical activities and their interactions with other cell organelles. Biologists, botanists, pathologists, and people involved in biological laboratories and cancer research will find the book useful.
