Circadian Rhythms

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2018
  • -
  • Publisher: Unknown

Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology examines the molecular and cellular details of the oscillatory machinery and how they control aspects of our physiology. Contributors discuss the cell-autonomous generation of circadian time and how those mechanisms interact with circuit-level mechanisms in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Links between circadian and redox systems, as well as the relationship between circadian oscillations and pathogenic infections, are also covered.

  • Publisher: Springer

Recent years have seen spectacular advances in the field of circadian biology. These have attracted the interest of researchers in many fields, including endocrinology, neurosciences, cancer, and behavior. By integrating a circadian view within the fields of endocrinology and metabolism, researchers will be able to reveal many, yet-unsuspected aspects of how organisms cope with changes in the environment and subsequent control of homeostasis. This field is opening new avenues in our understanding of metabolism and endocrinology. A panel of the most distinguished investigators in the field gathered together to discuss the present state and the future of the field. The editors trust that this volume will be of use to those colleagues who will be picking up the challenge to unravel how the circadian clock can be targeted for the future development of specific pharmacological strategies toward a number of pathologies.

The Genetics of Male Infertility

In this book, twenty-one researchers and clinicians review the study of the genetics of male infertility, the tools available in the laboratory and clinic, the current state of knowledge, and the future of research and translation into clinical diagnostics and treatments. New tools discussed are discussed. This book therefore serves as a guide to evidence-based clinical applications, and a preview of future possibilities.

Epigenetics, Brain and Behavior

What lies at the heart of neuronal plasticity? Accumulating evidence points to epigenetics. This word originally indicated potentially heritable modifications in gene expression that do not involve changes in DNA sequence. Today this definition is much less strict, and epigenetic control is thought to include DNA methylation, histone modifications, histone variants, microRNA metabolic pathways and non-histone proteins modifications. Thus, while neuronal plasticity is rightly thought to be intimately associated to genomic control, it is critical to appreciate that there is much more to the genome than DNA sequence. Recent years have seen spectacular advances in the field of epigenetics. These...

Germ Cells

With the ability to undergo both mitosis and meiosis, germ cells give rise to gametes and serve as the link between generations in sexually reproducing organisms. This collection reviews the biology of germ cells in metazoans, describing the undifferentiated state of germline stem cells, and more.

Healing with Light

Natural light surrounds us. Yet not getting enough of the right forms of natural light causes disease. Using decades of clinical research, this text reveals the history of natural light therapy and the newest evidence showing that light therapy heals naturally. This text discusses the basics of light radiation, light waves, sun- and moonlight, and how to produce the best form of vitamin D. The science of using light boxes, infrared therapy, saunas, UV light lamps and sunlight therapy for insomnia, chronic fatigue, depression, cardiovascular issues, dementia and many other conditions is examined, with practical strategies to enhance our moods and help us thrive physically and mentally.

Epigenetics and Human Reproduction

Epigenetics is a rapidly expanding field in medical and biological research which concerns heritable traits that are not attributable to changes in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms play key roles in many biological processes, and it has become clear that their disruption can gives rise to diverse pathologies in humans. Edited by preeminent experts, Sophie Rousseaux and Saadi Khochbin, this volume in the ‘Epigenetics and Human Health’ series discusses the role of epigenetics in human reproduction

Transfer and Expression of Eukaryotic Genes

Transfer and Expression of Eukaryotic Genes documents the progress in our understanding of the transfer and expression of eukaryotic genes. This book covers topics organized around three themes: gene expression and its regulation; in vivo gene transfer and development; and viral gene and oncogene systems. This text is divided into three sections encompassing 25 chapters and begins with an overview of the molecular basis of gene expression, with emphasis on transcription complexes that account for transcription control in eukaryotic genes. It then turns to experiments that assess the in vitro stimulatory effect of the SV40 72-bp repeat on specific transcription from heterologous promoter elem...

Gene Transcription

Transcription is the focus of much cutting-edge research, as befits its essential place in biology. The established link between defects in gene transcription and many human disorders has fuelled considerable activity in the biomedical arena, particularly cancer research. This concentration of attention has uncovered a myriad of factors involved in transcription and the literature is now rife with jargon and complexity. Gene Transcription: Mechanisms and Control aims to demystify the subject for a non-expert audience, providing a guided tour around the complex machinery of the transcriptional apparatus and discussing how the various factors achieve their functions. By focusing on general pri...
