Heme Oxygenase in Biology and Medicine

Heme oxygenase is rapidly taking its place as the centerpiece of multiple inter acting metabolic systems. Only 25 years ago heme oxygenase and its metabolic prod ucts appeared to be merely a simple metabolic system-one substrate, heme; one enzyme, heme oxygenase; and one set of products, iron to be recycled, and bilirubin and carbon monoxide to be disposed. From a group of about 25 people in 1974, as judged by attendance at various Gordon conferences, heme oxygenase has, in the year 2000, attracted working scientists-and clinicians I might add-by the hundreds and has produced referenced publications by the thousands. It is well-deserved attention. Heme oxygenase system is now similar to the ...

While there have been a large number of ongoing research projects and publications on the treatment of cancer, there is a limited number of books related to nanotechnology with emphasis on polymeric nanoparticles in cancer therapy. The book, covering all of the recent research work done on this basis, enlightens researchers and students with the benefits of polymeric nanomaterials in cancer. This book provides exhaustive knowledge on polymeric nanoparticles and cancer. - Provides a complete overview of the application of different polymeric nanoparticles in cancer therapeutics: from characterization of nanoparticles to in vitro and in vivo studies. - Contains a detailed description of the delivery of therapeutic molecules with different polymers realized with nanomedicine in cancer therapeutics. - Discusses newly developed promising polymers in cancer. - Describes polymeric nanoparticle and their role in theranostics pertaining to cancer. - Reviews clinical relevance of different polymeric formulations in the field of cancer

Research Handbook on Law, Environment and the Global South

  • Categories: Law

This comprehensive Research Handbook offers an innovative analysis of environmental law in the global South and contributes to an important reassessment of some of its major underlying concepts. The Research Handbook discusses areas rarely prioritized in environmental law, such as land rights, and underlines how these intersect with issues including poverty, livelihoods and the use of natural resources, challenging familiar narratives around development and sustainability in this context and providing new insights into environmental justice.

The State of Local Governance: A Compendium of Deliberations

  • Categories: Law

The present volume, The State of Local Governance: A Compendium of Deliberations - Local Governance 2020-2021, is a compilation of analytical and critical reflections and examination of the local governance policies adapted for guaranteed sustainable habitat and shelter, health, environment, education and employment. The compendium is a product of the conversation series, Local Governance, organised by IMPRI, Impact and Policy Research Institute, New Delhi. The series meditates upon existing policies, their execution, drawbacks and successive attempts for desired results in local governance. It explores the possible strategies adopted in the post-pandemic era for sustainable habitat and environment, the problems of housing in urban localities, and the role of local government in natural disaster-stricken areas. It contemplates initiatives for inclusive city planning, safe sanitation for all, disaster resilience plans and the role of people, such as the People Power Campaign (PPC) in development discourses.

Progress in Photosynthesis Research

These Proceedings comprise the majority of the scientific cont ribut ions that were presented at the VIIth International Congress on Photosynthesis. The Congress was held August 10-15 1986 in Providence, Rhode Island, USA on the campus of Brown University, and was the first in the series to be held on the North American continent. Despite the greater average travel distances involved the Congress was attended by over 1000 active participants of whom 25% were registered st udent s . This was gratifying and indicated that photosynthesis will be well served by excellent young scientists in the future. As was the case for the VIth International Congress held in Brussels, articles for these Proceedings were delivered camera ready to expedite rapid publication. In editing the volumes it was interesting to reflect on the impact that the recent advances in st ruct ure and molecular biology had in this Congress. It is clear that cognizance of st ruct ure and molecular genetics will be even more necessary in the design of experiments and the direction of future research.
