Dopamine Receptor Subtypes
Multiple subtypes of dopamine receptors exist in the brain. This volume reviews the characteristics of D-1, D-2, D-3 and D-4 receptors and describes the current concepts of their involvement in motor disorders and in the control of schizophrenia. Readers: the book will be of great interest to professionals in pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, neuroscience, cell biology and therapeutic applications in clinical medicine as antipsychotics, anti-Parkinson's disease and related areas.
Dopamine Receptors and Transporters
"Details the function, characterization, and physiology of various dopamine receptor/transporter systems and explores their role in etiology, diagnosis, and disease management."
Bioactive Peptides in Drug Discovery and Design
As in previous editions, the focus in ESSENTIAL MATHEMATICS with APPLICATIONS remains on the Aufmann Interactive Method (AIM). Students are encouraged to be active participants in the classroom and in their own studies as they work through the How To examples and the paired Examples and You Try It problems. Student engagement is crucial to success. Presenting students with worked examples, and then providing them with the opportunity to immediately solve similar problems, helps them build their confidence and eventually master the concepts. Simplicity is key in the organization of this edition, as in all other editions. All lessons, exercise sets, tests, and supplements are organized around ...
Mechanobiology
Until the '90s, research in biomechanics and biorheology mainly focused on tissues and cell priorities, so as to identify the bioclinical problems linked to the rheology properties of cells and tissues or to develop substitutes. Advances in molecular biology and new knowledge in cellular biology over the last ten years have given access to a more physiological approach to the effects of stress on cells and tissues.
Drug Metabolism
With its roots in the last century and currently exploiting the technology of today, the science of drug metabolism has made significant contributions to our understanding of chemico-biological interactions. This book reviews past successes and failures within the science and attempts to predict new directions. Each of the chapters of this book deals with an aspect of xenobiotic metabolism which has featured prominently in the development of the discipline. The volume is testimony to the breadth and depth of research into xenobiotic metabolism and covers the chemistry and enzymology of xenobiotic metabolism, enzyme modeling and structure activity relationships, pharmacokinetics, the use of r...
A Molecular Biology Approach to Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is the only neurodegenerative disorder for which the major pathological and biochemical defects have been identified. But why dopamine-containing cells in the substantia nigra die in Parkinson's disease remains a mystery. Similarly, the changes in basal ganglia output pathways which lead to the onset of motor disability and the occurrence of L-DOPA induced dyskinesia remain unclear. While treatment for the symptoms of Parkinson's disease is available, nothing can presently be done to stop the disease progressing. A molecular approach to Parkinson's disease is unraveling genetic factors responsible for inducing the onset of nigral cell degeneration or for making individual...
Glial Interfaces in the Nervous System
Glial cells are commonly viewed as subordinate players to the functional requirements of neighbouring neurons - in normal as well as pathological conditions. These neuron-glial interactions are crucial for the development, maintenance, plasticity and repair of the nervous system. They are also dependent upon and/or influenced by interactions between glial cells themselves.
EUCAMBIS
EUCAMBIS was established under BIOMED I in 1994 as an interdisciplinary consortium aiming to advance our understanding of the molecular and cellular bases of ageing of immunosenescence. The project sought to draw together scientists and clinicians from diverse fields including immunology, molecular biology, cell and tumour biology, geriatrics, endocrinology and transplantation biology in order to investigate the impact of ageing on immune responses. The papers collected in this volume illustrate the diversity of the work carried out by the members of EUCAMBIS during its three-and-a-half year existence. This introductory chapter attempts to summarize the results of some of the EUCAMBIS collaborations, with emphasis on the "workshop" approach which was aimed at analysing the expression of "growth arrest" genes in ageing human T lymphocytes.
