Provides comprehensive, updated information on the structure, and cell and molecular biology of the vertebrate pineal organ, which is the source of the "timing hormone" melatonin.
cells, and the testicular localization of the intermediate filament protein nestin, known to be expressed in neural stem cells, by our group was the first step to define mural cells (pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells) of the testis microvascu- ture as the stem/progenitor cells of the adult Leydig cells. In summary, we were able to demonstrate specific proliferation of vascular progenitors and their subsequent transdifferentiation into steroidogenic Leydig cells, which – in addition – rapidly acquire neuronal and glial properties. Since both newly developed fetal and adult Leydig cell populations show the same features, a common origin of both popu- tions seems likely. Pericytes ...
It is only during the last decade that the functions of sinusoidal endothelial cells, Kupffer cells, hepatic stellate cells, pit cells and other intrahepatic lymphocytes have been better understood. The development of methods for isolation and co-culturing various types of liver cells has established that they communicate and cooperate via secretion of various intercellular mediators. This monograph summarizes multiple data that suggest the important role of cellular cross-talk for the functions of both normal and diseased liver. Special features of the book include concise presentation of the majority of detailed data in 19 tables. Original schemes allow for the clear illustration of complicated intercellular relationships. This is the first ever presentation of the newly emerging field of liver biology, which is important for hepatic function in health and disease and opens new avenues for therapeutic interventions.
The processes of distention and recoil have an essential role in the functions of arteries and lungs. In both organ systems, these processes involve to a great extent the connective tissues, in particular the manner in which the extracellular materials are arranged to afford such movements. This book concerns the microenvironment of the connective tissues in the walls of arteries and the stroma of lungs. Proteoglycans, collagen, and elastic fibers and their interrelationships are discussed by eight scientists who are established researchers in this area. Their reports include important findings on how this microenvironment is altered in diseases such as atherosclerosis, emphysema, and pulmon...
Aufgrund der Abbildungsfülle ist der Klassiker "Junqueira/ Carneiro" Lehrbuch und Atlas in einem. Für die 4. Auflage wurde das Werk gründlich überprüft, korrigiert und aktualisiert. -> Das Lehrbuch ist nach didaktischen Gesichtspunkten aufgebaut und in klarer, leicht verständlicher Sprache geschrieben. -> Der Schwerpunkt liegt in der Darstellung der Grundlagen der Zytologie, Histologie und mikroskopischen Anatomie unter Berücksichtigung ihrer Beziehungen zur Physiologie und Biochemie. -> Zahlreiche klinische Hinweise verknüpfen das Grundwissen mit der Klinik. Bei der Bearbeitung der amerikanischen Originalausgabe hat der Übersetzer den neusten Gegenstandskatalog berücksichtigt. Deshalb eignet sich der "Jungqueira/Carneiro" hervorragend zur Vorbereitung auf Seminare sowie zum Wiederholen des Vorlesungsstoffs für die Prüfung.
