Planarian Regeneration
This volume explores the various facets of planaria as a biomedical model system and discusses techniques used to study the fascinating biology of these animals. The chapters in this book are divided into two parts: Part One looks at the biodiversity of planarian species, the molecular orchestration of regeneration, ecology of planarians in their natural habitats and their history as lab models. Part Two talks about experimental protocols for studying planarians, ranging from the establishment of a planarian research colony, to RNA and DNA extraction techniques, all the way to single stem cell transplantations or metabolomics analysis. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, Planarian Regeneration: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for both newcomers to the field and experts within established planarian laboratories.
Schmidtea Mediterranea
This detailed volume examines fine-tuned methodologies using the planarian species, Schmidtea mediterranea. The book features experimental protocols covering topics from in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, cell dissociation and flow cytometry, to pipelines for the analysis of large datasets, as in genomics and transcriptomics. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Schmidtea mediterranea: Methods and Protocols provides both experts in the field and newcomers with the best possible toolbox for their everyday lab work utilizing this valuable model.
A History of Bodies, Brains, and Minds
A panoramic view of the evolution of life on our planet, from its origins to humanity’s future. In A History of Bodies, Brains, and Minds, Francisco Aboitiz provides a brief history of life, the brain, and cognition, from the earliest living beings to our own species. The author proceeds from the basic premise that, since evolution by natural selection is the process underlying the origin of life and its evolution on earth, the brain—and thus our minds—must also be the result of biological evolution. The aim of this book is to narrate how animal bodies came to be built with their nervous systems and how our species evolved with culture, technology, language, and consciousness. The book...
Big Data and High Performance Computing
Big Data has been much in the news in recent years, and the advantages conferred by the collection and analysis of large datasets in fields such as marketing, medicine and finance have led to claims that almost any real world problem could be solved if sufficient data were available. This is of course a very simplistic view, and the usefulness of collecting, processing and storing large datasets must always be seen in terms of the communication, processing and storage capabilities of the computing platforms available. This book presents papers from the International Research Workshop, Advanced High Performance Computing Systems, held in Cetraro, Italy, in July 2014. The papers selected for p...
Enzymes in the Valorization of Waste
Enzymes in the Valorization of Waste: Next-Gen Technological Advances for Sustainable Development of Enzyme-based Biorefinery focusses on key enzymes which are involved in the development of integrated biorefinery. It highlights the modern next-gen technologies for promoting the application of sustainable and greener enzymatic steps at industrial scale for the development of futuristic and self-sustainable "consolidated/integrated biorefinery/enzyme-based biorefinery." It also deals with technological advancement for improvement of enzyme yield or specificity, conversion capability, such as protein and metabolic engineering and advances in next generation technologies, and so forth. Features...
Advances in Aquatic Invertebrate Stem Cell Research
This publication is based upon work from COST Action ’16203 MARISTEM Stem cells of marine/aquatic invertebrates: from basic research to innovative applications’, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology). COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation. www.cost.eu Aquatic invertebrates represent the largest biodiversity and the widest phylogenetic radiation on Earth, with more than 2 million known species. Up until a...

Anders Kofoeds store bog om naturen
Med denne store, rigt illustrerede og let anvendelige bog om naturen deler den kendte biolog og naturformidler Anders Kofoed ud af sin begejstring og sin kærlighed til Danmarks dyr og planter. Naturen er vild, dramatisk, smuk og uendeligt underholdende. Men bedst af alt: Den er overalt. Det vrimler med liv i byens baggårde og parker, i villakvarterets græsplæner og havedamme. Bogen handler om alle de forunderlige og fantastiske dyr og planter, som hver dag venter lige uden for din hoveddør. Anders Kofoed fortæller med vid om humor danskernes nære natur. Charmerende dyr og kødædende planter, de sjældne og de helt almindelige. Bogen er opdelt i 4 levesteder for dyr og planter. Skoven handler om dyre- og plantelivet i alt fra små parker til store skove. Byen om naturen, som myldrer i betonjunglen. Haven om det forunderlige mikrokosmos af små græssletter og mini-regnskove, der findes ved parcelhusene. Og Søen udforsker de dybe hemmeligheder i alle vandhullerne, fra havedamme og gadekær til søer. Bogens 4 levesteder er desuden delt praktisk ind i 3 sæsoner. Med bogen får hele familien en overskuelig og brugervenlig guide til naturoplevelser året rundt.
Kidney Development and Disease
Kidney Development and Disease brings together established and young investigators who are leading authorities in nephrology to describe recent advances in three primary areas of research. The first section describes the use of animal models as powerful tools for the discovery of numerous molecular mechanisms regulating kidney development. The second section focuses on nephric cell renewal and differentiation, which lead to diverse cell fates within the developing kidney, and discusses diseases resulting from the aberrant regulation of the balance between cell fate decisions. The final section concentrates on morphogenesis of the developing kidney and its maintenance after formation as well as the diseases resulting from failures in these processes. Kidney form and function have been extensively studied for centuries, leading to discoveries related to their development and disease. Recent scientific advances in molecular and imaging techniques have broadened our understanding of nephron development and maintenance as well as the diseases related to these processes.
