This volume focuses on molecular genetic/drug manipulation affecting the biology of hematopoiesis, leukemia, and other related cancers as well as on hemoglobinopathy, aplastic anemia, pediatric oncology, growth factors in transplantation, hematologic malignancies, solid tumor chemotherapy and drug resistance, gene expression and gene transfer and on viruses and hematopoiesis. Some of the topics covered include: new information on BMT for autoimmune disease and organ transplants, new findings on gene therapy/transfer into HSC, new studies on gene transfer into primates, new information on gene transfer, scientific and clinical results of iron overload and hematopoiesis, iron and erythropoiesis and search for candidate genes, molecular diagnosis and chemotherapy, use of cord blood stem cells for transplantation, and new information on transcriptional factors regulating hematopoiesis.
Principles of Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics: Fundamentals for Individualized Nutrition is the most comprehensive foundational text on the complex topics of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics. Edited by three leaders in the field with contributions from the most well-cited researchers conducting groundbreaking research in the field, the book covers how the genetic makeup influences the response to foods and nutrients and how nutrients affect gene expression. Principles of Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics: Fundamentals for Individualized Nutrition is broken into four parts providing a valuable overview of genetics, nutrigenetics, and nutrigenomics, and a conclusion that helps to translate resear...
Com eixos temáticos de diversidade, tecnologia, acessibilidade e qualidade de vida, "Bicicletas nas Cidades" revela que os sistemas de bicicletas compartilhadas têm se provado eficientes na transformação global em prol de cidades mais sustentáveis. O livro reúne um time de especialistas, com análises e estudos de caso sobre metrópoles brasileiras e cidades globais, abordando o uso desses serviços, cada vez mais estratégicos. O LABMOB contribui de forma inovadora para a mobilidade sustentável, por meio de uma série de iniciativas — como esta publicação e a plataforma micromobilidadebrasil.org, que monitora sistemas de compartilhamento em todo Brasil e quantifica as emissões de CO2 evitadas. (Re)pensar o futuro considerando a bicicleta como peça-chave do transporte público tornou-se fundamental para a sustentabilidade.
Nutrigenetics: Applying the Science of Personal Nutrition provides a fully referenced, readable guide to understanding the rationale and importance of nutrigenetic applications and explains why single nutrition recommendations will not fit everybody or even a majority of modern humans. This books explains how genetic variation shapes individual nutrition requirements and sensitivities, presents questions to ask about reported gene-nutrient interactions, and what needs to be done before putting nutrigenetic tests to practical use. This book blends key concepts from the fields of genetics, biochemistry, epidemiology, public health, and clinical medicine to give a rich perspective on the geneti...
In an increasingly globalised world, despite reductions in costs and time, transportation has become even more important as a facilitator of economic and human interaction; this is reflected in technical advances in transportation systems, increasing interest in how transportation interacts with society and the need to provide novel approaches to understanding its impacts. This has become particularly acute with the impact that Covid-19 has had on transportation across the world, at local, national and international levels. Encyclopedia of Transportation, Seven Volume Set - containing almost 600 articles - brings a cross-cutting and integrated approach to all aspects of transportation from a...
The Lenormand deck is a traditional French fortunetelling deck dating back to about 1850. It uses thirty-six cards, each with a symbolic image. This title explains its history, and how to use it for fortune-telling and personal insight.
Gene duplication has long been believed to have played a major role in the rise of biological novelty through evolution of new function and gene expression patterns. The first book to examine gene duplication across all levels of biological organization, Evolution after Gene Duplication presents a comprehensive picture of the mechanistic process by which gene duplication may have played a role in generating biodiversity. Key Features: Explores comparative genomics, genome evolution studies and analysis of multi-gene families such as Hox, globins, olfactory receptors and MHC (immune system) A complete post-genome treatment of the topic originally covered by Ohno's 1970 classic, this volume ex...
This enzymology textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate students covers the syllabi of most universities where this subject is regularly taught. It focuses on the synchrony between the two broad mechanistic facets of enzymology: the chemical and the kinetic, and also highlights the synergy between enzyme structure and mechanism. Designed for self-study, it explains how to plan enzyme experiments and subsequently analyze the data collected. The book is divided into five major sections: 1] Introduction to enzymes, 2] Practical aspects, 3] Kinetic Mechanisms, 4] Chemical Mechanisms, and 5] Enzymology Frontiers. Individual concepts are treated as stand-alone chapters; readers can explor...
A collection of the best chronicles published in the Histórias de cego project, initially a blog and later a YouTube channel, where, in addition to telling a little about his experience in such a visual society, Marcos Lima shows us the world through his eyes. With his senses as sharp as his sense of humor, he tells how he spent a day in a wheelchair, fulfilled a childhood dream when he explored the island of Malta and how the sport changed his life.
