Caveolae and Lipid Rafts: Roles in Signal Transduction and the Pathogenesis of Human Disease
Caveolae (latin for little caves) are small structures found at the surface of cells. They are responsible for the regulation of important metabolic pathway. As a consequence, they may play a critical role in several human diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, and muscular dystrophies. This book analyzes the role and function of caveolae in these aspects and serves as the first textbook currently available on caveolae/caveolin.
alpha2Adrenergic Receptors
First published in 1997. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
The Nucleosome
This is the first in a series of volumes concerning the properties of the eukaryotic nucleus. Contributions from several of the most active laboratories are brought together to present a focused overview of a selected aspect of nuclear structure and function.
Cutting Edge Therapies for Cancer in the 21st Century
Cancer is a broad group of diseases involving unregulated cell growth with elevated death rates as more people live in old age with mass lifestyle changes occurring in the world. The causes of cancer are diverse, complex, and still only partially understood. The chances of surviving the disease vary remarkably by the type and location of the malignancy and the extent of disease at the start of treatment. Early cancer detection is proving to be a valid approach. Cancer can be detected in a number of ways, including the presence of certain signs and symptoms, screening tests, or medical imaging. Cancer therapy is dynamically changing and revision and change in patient management is constant as...

Membrane Protein Transport
This is the second volume in a series on membrane protein transfer. Membrane protein transport underlies the topological disposition of many proteins within cells and it is this disposition that allows for the co-ordination of the central cellular processes, such as metabolism.
Metabolic Barriers in Cancer and Cancer Therapy
Cancer immunometabolism is an emerging field exploring cellular bioenergetic alterations in both tumor and immune cells and their impact on tumor immune surveillance and therapy resistance. Multiple concepts have emerged including metabolic competition over nutrients and the secretion of (toxic) metabolic byproducts by cancer cells. Moreover, cancer cells are capable of utilizing and shaping their surrounding microenvironment to their favor, e.g. by reprogramming stroma cells to produce essential nutrients or by providing metabolically relevant signaling molecules to foster the accumulation of immunosuppressive cells. Most importantly, this crosstalk within the tumor microenvironment is mostly multi-directional and a better understanding of the complex interactions may pave the way to improved and/or novel therapeutic strategies to overcome those obstacles.
Genetics of Sex Determination
The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection by R.A. Fisher (1930) dictated that sexual dimorphisms may depend upon a single medelian factor. This could be true for some species but his suggestion could not take off the ground as gender in Drosophila is determined by the number of X chromosomes. Technical advances in molecular biology have revived the initial thinking of Fisher and dictate that TDF or SRY genes in humans or Tdy in mice are sex determining genes. The fortuitous findings of XX males and XY female, which are generally termed sex reversal phenomenon, are quite bewildering traits that have caused much amazement concerning the pairing mechanism(s) of the pseudoautosomal regions of hu...
