Book Description

Each plant–pathogen interaction involves a two-way molecular communication. On one hand, the pathogen perceives signals from the plant, secretes chemical arsenals to establish infection courts, and produces metabolites that disrupt structural integrity, alter cellular function, and circumvent host defenses. On the other hand, the plant senses the signals from the pathogen, reinforces its cell walls, and accumulates phytoalexins and pathogenesis-related proteins in an attempt to defend itself. The production of pathogenicity and virulence factors by the pathogen, the elicitation of defense mechanisms by the plant, and the dynamic interaction of the two are the focal points of this book. The book will be of interest to researchers and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the areas of plant pathology, plant physiology, and plant biochemistry.

Book Description

Hardbound. This book presents an integration of recent knowledge of virology, molecular biology and immunology focusing on intractable liver diseases. It reports on mechanisms of liver injury e.g. viral hepatitis, fulminant hepatic failure, autoimmune hepatitis, and hepatocarcinogenesis based on the evidence from both clinical and basic research e.g. genetic diversities or transgenic mice models. It also explains current concepts and new strategies to treat alcoholic liver diseases, interferon resistant hepatitis C virus, liver cirrhosis, fulminant hepatic failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma e.g. new drugs, immunotherapy, gene therapy or living related liver transplantation. The authors are all front runners in current hepatology and give us proper information on each topic. The book will be of interest to all clinicians and basic scientists devoted to hepatology and will be a useful guide to reveal what we can do now and what we should do to treat.

Book Description

This volume represents the proceedings of the invited lectures of the second International Symposium on Serotonin from Cell Biology to Pharmacology and Therapeutics, which was held in Houston, September 1992, under the co-sponsorship of the Serotonin Club, Baylor College of Medicine, the Giovanni Lorenzini Medical Foundation (Houston), and the Fondazione Giovanni Lorenzini (Milan). The symposium brought together pharmacologists, physiologists, molecular biologists, and clinical scientists working in the complex field of serotonin. Hence this volume provides the reader with a unique overview of the sources, effects, receptors, molecular biology, physiological actions and pathological roles of serotonin agonists and antagonists. As such the book will be of interest both to persons devoting their research efforts to serotonin as well as to all scholars and clinicians wanting to know how this powerful monoamine can modulate cellular functions.

Book Description

The book describes most of the methods that are currently used in metastasis research. Both in vivo and in vitro protocols are illustrated, so that the metastatic process can be either analysed as a whole, or single events addressed separately. Each method is described in the frame of the metastatic process, therefore its significance and its limitations in the context of metastasis are always taken into account. Whenever possible, several alternative procedures are reported per each experimental issue, so that the researcher can choose the one that better suits her/his needs and possibilities.

During the past 30 years a big effort has been made to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of cancer metastatis, the leading cause of death for cancer patients. A considerable number of assays have been set up, that can be used to address specific questions concerning the single metastatic steps, or can be applied to develop and test drugs specifically interfering with selected events during the metastatic spread. This book contains an exhaustive description of most of the methods and their rationale, that are currently used in metastatic research, both to analyse metastasis in its entirety (in vivo models), or to dissect the single steps of the metastatic process (in vitro assays).

Book Description

The concept of network as a mathematical description of a set of states, or events, linked according to a certain topology has been developed recently and has led to a novel approach of real world. This approach is no doubt important in the field of biology. In fact biological systems can be considered networks. Thus, for instance, an enzyme-catalysed reaction is a network that links, according to a certain topology, the various states of the protein and of its complexes with the substrates and products of the chemical reaction. Connections between neurons, social relations in animal and human populations are also examples of networks. Hence there is little doubt that the concept of network transgresses the boundaries between traditional scientific disciplines.

This book is aimed at discussing in physical terms these exciting new topics on simple protein model lattices, supramolecular protein edifices, multienzyme and gene networks.

*Physical and mathematical approach of biological phenomena.
*Offers biochemists and biologists the mathematical background required to understand the text.
*Associates in the same general formulation, the ideas of communication of a message and organization of a system.
*Provides a clear-cut definition and mathematical expression of the concepts of reduction, integration, emergence and complexity that were so far time-honoured and vague.
