This title presents the major advances of the last decade in the field of cardiac regeneration.
The development of the cardiovascular system is a rapidly advancing area in biomedical research, now coupled with the burgeoning field of cardiac regenerative medicine. A lucid understanding of these fields is paramount to reducing human cardiovascular diseases of both fetal and adult origin. Significant progress can now be made through a comprehensive investigation of embryonic development and its genetic control circuitry. Heart Development and Regeneration, written by experts in the field, provides essential information on topics ranging from the evolution and lineage origins of the developing cardiovascular system to cardiac regenerative medicine. A reference for clinicians, medical rese...
Over the past few decades, the book series Linguistische Arbeiten [Linguistic Studies], comprising over 500 volumes, has made a significant contribution to the development of linguistic theory both in Germany and internationally. The series will continue to deliver new impulses for research and maintain the central insight of linguistics that progress can only be made in acquiring new knowledge about human languages both synchronically and diachronically by closely combining empirical and theoretical analyses. To this end, we invite submission of high-quality linguistic studies from all the central areas of general linguistics and the linguistics of individual languages which address topical questions, discuss new data and advance the development of linguistic theory.
This Volume of the series Cardiac and Vascular Biology offers a comprehensive and exciting, state-of-the-art work on the current options and potentials of cardiac regeneration and repair. Several techniques and approaches have been developed for heart failure repair: direct injection of cells, programming of scar tissue into functional myocardium, and tissue-engineered heart muscle support. The book introduces the rationale for these different approaches in cell-based heart regeneration and discusses the most important considerations for clinical translation. Expert authors discuss when, why, and how heart muscle can be salvaged. The book represents a valuable resource for stem cell researchers, cardiologists, bioengineers, and biomedical scientists studying cardiac function and regeneration.
This book is a prelude by the authors to expose the advantages and application of Zebrafish as model organism to study various aspects of human diseases. The book starts with the introduction about the biology and lifecycle of Zebrafish that makes it suitable in a comfortable and ease way to be applied in research. The next chapter emphasizes on the methodology and application of germ-cell transplantation in this model organism. The third chapter projects the unique characteristics of this lower vertebrate organism as model system and its implementation in current scenario research for various human diseases. The next two chapters explore the genetic aspects of Zebra fish in the regeneration...
"Many organisms are able to regenerate damaged tissues - from heart muscle after cardiac injury in mammals to entire limbs in organisms like the axolotl. This volume explores the biological basis of regeneration, examining the developmental pathways involved, the underlying molecular mechanisms and how this knowledge may ultimately be applied therapeutically"--
A major update of a best-selling textbook that introduces students to the key experimental and analytical techniques underpinning life science research.
Oxygen has had extraordinary effects on life. Three hundred million years ago, in Carboniferous times, dragonflies grew as big as seagulls, with wingspans of nearly a metre. Researchers claim they could have flown only if the air had contained more oxygen than today - probably as much as 35 per cent. Giant spiders, tree-ferns, marine rock formations and fossil charcoals all tell the same story. High oxygen levels may also explain the global firestorm that contributed to the demise of the dinosaurs after the asteroid impact. The strange and profound effects that oxygen has had on the evolution of life pose a riddle, which this book sets out to answer. Oxygen is a toxic gas. Divers breathing p...
