Dictyostelium discoideum is a simple but fascinating eukaryotic microorg- ism, whose natural habitat is deciduous forest soil and decaying leaves, where the amoebae feed on bacteria and grow as independent single cells. Exhaustion of the bacterial food source triggers a developmental program, in which up to 100,000 cells aggregate by chemotaxis towards cAMP. Morphogenesis and cell different- tion then culminate in the production of spores enabling the organism to survive unfavorable conditions. Dictyostelium offers unique advantages for studying f- damental cellular processes with the aid of powerful molecular genetic, bioche- cal, and cell biological tools. These processes include signal tr...
Originally published in 2005, this unique resource presents 27 easy-to-follow laboratory exercises for use in student practical classes in developmental biology. These experiments provide key insights into developmental questions, and many of them are described by the leaders in the field who carried out the original research. This book intends to bridge the gap between experimental work and the laboratory classes taken at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels. All chapters follow the same format, taking the students from materials and methods, through results and discussion, so that they learn the underlying rationale and analysis employed in the research. The book will be an invaluable resource for graduate students and instructors teaching practical developmental biology courses. Chapters include teaching concepts, discussion of the degree of difficulty of each experiment, potential sources of failure, as well as the time required for each experiment to be carried out in a class with students.
Dr. Susan Rogulski knew instantly that the cells in the petri dish had been destroyed. And the destroyer was a virus. She was sure of that. And then she thought - how stupid that the two men peering over her shoulder wore no masks gloves or gowns.... In this story, told with the voices of young scientists and physicians, the discovery of the virus is only a beginning. A reader put it this way: I couldn't put this book down. If such a virus ever appears - and there is no reason that it couldn't, it would be discovered and studied exactly as Dr. Kessin describes. The consequences and the cool headed way the scientists tackle an unfolding catastrophe makes a superb story. A virus that affects men that can only be studied by women scientists? Who ever imagined that? I loved the characters - even the nasty ones. And I never predicted the end. The story intertwines scientists, a religious community, the Congress and the military and comes out in a surprising place.
Finalist for the 2016 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award in the Sports category Have you ever considered running 350 miles in nine days? Kenneth A. Posner did just that when he completed a record-setting run along New York's Long Path, a 350-mile hiking trail that stretches from New York City to Albany. Running the Long Path's page-turning narrative combines the thrill and challenges of Posner's extreme endurance feat with the stunning natural beauty and deep historical significance of New York's Hudson Valley. A one-time casual runner, Posner shares his excitement of developing into a trail-runner and eventually an ultrarunner, as well as the pursuit of a "fastest known time"—a new di...
There are seven articles in issue 2, March 2022 of "Journal of Ethnic Microhistory". Johann Friesen describes his experiences in the first days of the Soviet-German War 1941-1945. He was twice wounded, but in July 1942 he was sent in a cattle wagon to a Siberian labour camp because of his German nationality. The publication of Hugo Wormsbecher is devoted to the state of education and culture of Russia-Germans after dismantling their autonomy in 1941 and their first legal steps for the resurrection of it. Andrei Triller deals with the problems of admission to Germany of Late Ethnic German Repatriates. Antonina Schneider-Stremjakowa tackles the problem of national affiliation of Russia-German ...
Dictyostelia are soil amoebae capable of extraordinary feats of survival, motility, chemotaxis, and development. Characterised by their ability to transform from a single-celled organism into an elaborate assemblage of thousands of synchronously-moving cells, Dictyostelids are often referred to as 'social amoebae', and have been the subjects of serious study since the 1930s. Research in this area has been instrumental in understanding many problems in cellular biology. Beginning with the history of Dictyostelids and discussing each stage of their development, this book considers the evolution of this unique organism, analyses the special properties of the Dictyostelid genome, and presents in detail the methods available, at the time of the book's original publication in 2001, to manipulate their genes. Representing the synthesis of such material and with an emphasis on combining classical experiments with modern molecular findings, this book will be essential for researchers and graduates in developmental and cellular biology.
The book outlines the history of Russia-Germans - one of the indigenous peoples of Eastern Europe.
