This volume developed from a Workshop on Natural Locomotion in Fluids and on Surfaces: Swimming, Flying, and Sliding which was held at the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) at the University of Minnesota, from June 1-5, 2010. The subject matter ranged widely from observational data to theoretical mechanics, and reflected the broad scope of the workshop. In both the prepared presentations and in the informal discussions, the workshop engaged exchanges across disciplines and invited a lively interaction between modelers and observers. The articles in this volume were invited and fully refereed. They provide a representative if necessarily incomplete account of the field of natural locomotion during a period of rapid growth and expansion. The papers presented at the workshop, and the contributions to the present volume, can be roughly divided into those pertaining to swimming on the scale of marine organisms, swimming of microorganisms at low Reynolds numbers, animal flight, and sliding and other related examples of locomotion.
A direct spinoff of the Advances in Enzyme Regulation journal this internationally acclaimed series reports progress at the cutting edge in the strategic area of regulation at the molecular level. In an integrated presentation of original papers, leading scientists, Nobel Prize winners and other outstanding experts from many countries review the best research produced each year and evaluate what is newest and what promises to be the most important in clinical and basic investigations. The volumes serve as guideposts and beacons for investigators in planning research and teaching students in basic and clinical fields of endeavour. These books advance the general front of studies on metabolic regulation and the understanding of the molecular biology of control of gene expression by hormones, drugs and growth factors in cancer cells and in clinical situations of diabetes, inborn errors of metabolism and neoplasia.
Comprises 20 contributions on intermediate filament (IF) proteins, providing a comprehensive overview of the essentials of IF research and very recent developments, including many previously unpublished concepts and results. Representative topics include intermediate filament organization during oogenesis and early development in the clawed frog, lessons from keratin transgenic and knockout mice, cytokeratins as markers of differentiation in the diagnosis of epithelial tumors, vimentin and lipid metabolism, and nuclear lamin- binding proteins.

The endothelium is an excellent example of where biology meets physics and engineering. It must convert mechanical forces into chemical signals to maintain homeostasis. It also controls the immune response, drug delivery through the vasculature, and cancer metastasis. Basic understanding of these processes is starting to emerge and the knowledge ga
