Macro Roles for MicroRNAs in the Life and Death of Neurons
The discovery of microRNAs has revealed an additional level of fine tuning of the genome and how genes are used again and again in different combinations to generate the complexity that underlies for instance the brain. This book examines this field.
Alzheimer's Disease: A Century of Scientific and Clinical Research
This publication is a landmark work commemorating the centennial of Alois Alzheimer's discovery of what would be known as Alzheimer's disease (AD). The centennial of Alois Alzheimer’s original description of the disease that would come to bear his name offers a vantage point from which to commemorate the seminal discoveries in the field. It traces how the true importance of AD as the major cause of late life dementia ultimately came to light and narrates the evolution of the concepts related to AD throughout the years and its recognition as a major public health problem, with an estimated 30-40 million people affected by AD today. To identify the breakthroughs, the editors have used citati...
Molecular Biology of Alzheimer's Disease
Highlighting the latest and the most timely aspects of Alzheimer's disease research, this text will enable scientists in related research fields, as well as physicians working with Alzheimer's disease patients, to obtain a quick and complete overview of the current state of the art in one of the most exciting fields in neuroscience research. Leading scientists have contributed articles focusing on key developments in this field. This includes an overview about the pathology, the genetics of familial Alzheimer's disease, proteolytic generation and aggregation of amyloid -peptide, presenilins, risk factors such as ApoE, and transgenic animal models. Some of the latest developments in Alzheimer's disease research, including the effect of presenilin knock outs on amyloid -peptide generation, are also included.
Stem Cell Repair and Regeneration
This second book in the Stem Cell Repair and Regeneration series provides a deeper exploration of the therapeutic potential of undifferentiated human stem cells.Regenerative medicine is an extremely fast-moving field which is evolving from the initial days of hype and excitement to a more realistic appraisal of the role of stem cells in the treatment of degenerative disorders. The series aims to keep abreast of these changes by combining new knowledge in stem cell biology and therapeutic applications.The current volume contains papers by the field's leading scientists and explores the current knowledge on cell therapy for different diseases and injured organs, including diabetes, liver and heart disease.

Nutrition and Flavor During Food Processing: Change Patterns and Mechanisms
Food consumption is leaning toward products that provide both nutritional value and good flavor. In recent years, researchers have focused on how to scientifically analyze and evaluate foods’ nutritional and flavor qualities under different processing methods or parameters by various effect relationship analysis tools to investigate the internal relations between nutrients and flavor substances. However, during food processing, some unstable components may undergo degradation, volatilization, or secondary reactions due to changes in temperature, pressure, humidity, pH, etc., resulting in challenging research work with complex data variations in multiple dimensions.
Phospholipases in Physiology and Pathology
Phospholipases in Physiology and Pathology presents a comprehensive overview on the physiology and pathology of phospholipases. This seven-volume set considers the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of normal and abnormal cell function upon dysregulation of phospholipases in different diseases. Volumes cover signal transduction mechanisms, implications in cancer, infectious diseases, neural diseases, cardiovascular diseases and other diseases, implications in inflammation, apoptosis, gene expression and non-coding RNAs, the role of natural and synthetic compounds, and stem cell therapies, nanotechnology-based therapies, and more. Together, these volumes give researchers critical insight on the mechanistic and therapeutic aspects of phospholipases. - Discusses the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of normal and abnormal cell function in different disease processes - Covers a wide range of basic and translational research appropriate for scientists engaged in studying the regulation of phospholipases from interdisciplinary perspectives - Features state-of-the-art chapter contributions from international leaders in the field
Post-transcriptional Mechanisms in Endocrine Regulation
This book examines how post-transcriptional mechanisms control endocrine function. This includes newly identified regulatory mechanisms involved in hormone biosynthesis, control of hormone receptors and the outputs of hormone mediated signal transduction. Chapters address endocrine hormones including protein peptide/peptide, steroid, and non-steroidal hormones. The impacts of these mechanisms on disease and health are covered, providing a novel update to the scientific literature. Post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms play an essential role in controlling dynamic gene expression. The outcome of this regulation includes control of the amount, timing, and location of protein expression. Regulation is mediated by cis-acting RNA sequences and structures and transacting RNA binding proteins and non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs. Recent advances in characterization of these regulatory factors have revealed enormous regulatory potential.
