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.

Research on intercellular communication through gap junctions has continued to expand, and the meeting on which this book is based brought together many scientists from many different countries and disciplines. In line with the objective of the meeting, this volume focuses on the biological meaning of intercellular communication through gap junctions in various organs. The most recent up-to-date findings have been included in this extensive volume, valuable to all those interested in this rapidly expanding field.
In the last decade, remarkable advances have been made in bone marrow transplantation (BMT), which is now becoming a powerful tool in the treatment of diseases such as leukemia, aplastic anemia, and congenital immunodeficiency. In animal experiments, it has been found that BMT can be used to treat not only systemic autoimmune diseases but also organ-specific autoimmune diseases. In humans, it has recently been shown that rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease can be successfully treated after BMT. This volume contains new information on how to prevent graft rejection, how T cell functions can be completely restored, and how concomitant BMT can prevent the rejection of organ allografts without the use of immunosuppressive agents. BMT will become an increasingly useful and powerful treatment for various currently intractable diseases, and this book will contribute by providing details of the latest research in the field.
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Whereas the past few years have repeatedly been referred to as the “era of biotechnology”, most recently the impression has emerged that at least the same degree of attention is being paid to the latest developments in the field of neurosciences. It has now become nearly impossible to maintain an overview of the number of research projects dealing with the functionality of the brain – for example concerning its organizational structure – or projects dealing with the topics of legal responsibility, brain-computer interface applications, neuromarketing, lie detection or mind reading. These procedures are connected to a number of legal questions concerning the framework conditions of re...
