Culture of Specialized Cells

Culture of Immortalized Cells

Edited by R. Ian Freshney and Mary G. Freshney

The ability to develop immortalized cells in vitro is a powerful tool for the biological investigator. Most cells can only be reproduced unchanged for a limited number of cell generations before the initial cell lines die. The immortalization of cells establishes continuous cell lines, playing an important role in the study of the biology of cell growth, differentiation, and senescence. It also increases our understanding of aberrations in proliferative and positional control in malignant cells.

Culture of Immortalized Cells provides the most up-to-date in vitro methods and safety procedures for the immortalization of primary cultures of various cell types. Coedited by one of the leading figures in the field, R. Ian Freshney, author of Culture of Animal Cells, Third Edition, Culture of Immortalized Cells is the latest volume in the critically acclaimed Culture of Specialized Cells Series. Preceding volumes in the series include Culture of Epithelial Cells and Culture of Hematopoietic Cells.

In this comprehensive handbook, leading experts offer the most current methods for the immortalization of cells, as well as specific guidelines for the immortalization of kidney, and thyroid epithelia, hepatocytes, fibroblasts, chondrocytes, lymphocytes, astrocytes, and human umbilical vein endothelium. Each method is accompanied by:

• Step-by-step protocols
• Detailed instructions for reagent preparation
• Current information on the latest specialized equipment and supplies

This concise bench-top manual is essential for any laboratory involved in establishing continuous cell lines from primary cultures. Investigators, laboratory technical staff, and students in cell biology, immunology, hematology, cancer biology, toxicology, and molecular biology, will find this contemporary guide indispensable to their research.

Dieses Skriptum gibt einen umfassenden Ein- und Uberblick uber die pathophysiologischen Prinzipien als Basis fur Klinik, Diagnostik und Therapien von Erkrankungen des Gastrointestinaltraktes. Zudem geht die Autorin ausfuhrlich auf die Beteiligung des mukosalen Immunsystems ein, wobei auch basale Prinzipien der Allergologie und Immunologie verstandlich prasentiert werden. Besonderer Wert wurde auf die anschaulichen Illustrationen gelegt, die fast selbsterklarend, durch weiter ausfuhrende Texte erganzt sind. Das Skriptum ist abgestimmt auf die Vorlesungs- und Prufungsinhalte des Faches "Funktionelle Pathologie." Daruber hinaus stellt es eine nutzliche Erganzung zum "Block 13: Ernahrung und Verdauung" des neuen Medizincurriculums dar, sowie fur die Dr.med.sci und Ph.D. Studienprogramme der Medizinischen Universitat Wien. Aber auch StudentInnen anderer Disziplinen, wie etwa Biologie oder Ernahrungswissenschaften, sowie DiatassistentInnen werden darin fundig werden."

Systematics has developed rapidly during the past two decades. A multitude of new methods and contributions from a diversity of biological fields including molecular genetics and developmental biology have provided a wealth of phylogenetic hypotheses, some confirming traditional views others contradicting them. Despite such inconsistencies, it is now possible to recognize robust regions of a 'tree of life' and also to identify problematic areas which have yet to be resolved. This is the first book to apply the current state of phylogeny to an evolutionary interpretation of animal organ systems and body architecture, providing alternative theories in those cases of continuing controversy.
Organs do not appear suddenly during evolution; instead they are composed of far simpler structures. In some cases it is even possible to trace particular molecules or physiological pathways as far back as pre-animal history. What emerges is a fascinating picture, showing how animals have combined ancestral and new elements in novel ways to form constantly changing responses to environmental requirements.
The Evolution of Organ Systems starts with a general overview of current animal phylogeny, followed by review of general body organization including symmetry, anteroposterior axis, dorsoventral axis, germ layers, segmentation, and skeletons. Subsequent chapters then provide a detailed description of the individual organ systems themselves - integument, musculature, nervous system, sensory organs, body cavities, excretory system, circulatory system, respiratory system, intestinal system, gonads and gametes. Generously illustrated throughout, this accessible text is suitable for both upper levelundergraduate and graduate students taking courses in animal evolution, organogenesis, animal anatomy, zoology and systematics. It will also be a valuable reference tool for those professional researchers in these fields requiring an authoritative, balanced and up-to-date overview of the topic.

In recent years, cytology has played an increasingly important role in the diagnosis of disease, particularly those of neoplastic origin. It is not unusual for cytologic specimens to be the only diagnostic samples available from patients with cancer. Many ancillary tests traditionally performed on histologic material are now being performed on cytologic specimens. One such technique, immunocytochemistry (ICC), has already proved to be important in diagnostic tumor pathology. This atlas examines the value of ICC as well as its limitations in contemporary cytology. Methods have been refined and high-quality reagents are now available. As a result, technical problems no longer present a major concern in this field. This volume will briefly will address the technical aspects of ICC by providing practical advice for the users and analytical aspects of ICC, including correct selection of markers for specific differential diagnoses and incorporation of results in final cytologic interpretation; illustrate the utilization of ICC in the resolution of some common diagnostic problems in fine needle aspiration and body cavity fluid cytology. and most importantly its utilization in specific differential diagnoses that are based on cytomorpholoy and patient's clinical history is also discussed. Finally, the value and limitations of ICC in the detection of predictive markers of cancer and potential treatment targets will be reviewed. This practical handbook will allow for quick reference in the selection and interpretation of markers in specific differential diagnostic in the daily practice of diagnostic cytology.

Gemessen an der Besucherresonanz sind die Korperwelten' des Heidelberger Anatomen Gunther von Hagens die erfolgreichste Sonderausstellung aller Zeiten. Mit grosser Heftigkeit wird jedoch bis heute uber das Fur und Wider der Prasentation plastinierter Leichen und Leichenteile gestritten. Sieht sich der Plastinator als Vorreiter einer "Demokratisierung der Anatomie," beklagen seine Widersacher eine Antastung der Menschenwurde. Gelten dem einen die kunstvoll praparierten Korper als medizinische Lehr- und Lernstucke par excellence, verurteilen die anderen vor allem in den ganzfigurigen Gestaltplastinaten ein frivoles Spielen mit der menschlichen Natur.

Dieser Sammelband vereinigt kontrare Stimmen, die sich mit substanziellen Beitragen in die Diskussion eingemischt haben. Ziel ist es, Hintergrundinformationen aus erster Hand und Anhaltspunkte fur eine Konsensfindung in gesellschaftlichen Fragen zu geben, die zentrale Aspekte des Umgangs mit dem toten wie auch mit dem lebenden Korper beruhren."

A true-life scientific thriller no reader will forget, Surviving the Extremes takes us to the farthest reaches of the earth as well as into the uncharted territory within the human body, spirit, and brain. A vice president of the legendary Explorers Club, as well as surgeon, explorer, and masterful storyteller, Dr. Kenneth Kamler has spent years discovering what happens to the human body in extreme environmental conditions. Divided into six sections--jungle, high seas, desert, underwater, high altitude, and outer space--this book uses firsthand testimony and documented accounts to investigate the science of what a body goes through and explains why people survive--and why they sometimes don't.

La fibra alimentare e la parte edibile degli alimenti che resiste agli enzimi digestivi.

Il ruolo della fibra alimentare nella dieta e stato rivalutato in questi ultimi anni, soprattutto per i possibili effetti sulle funzioni intestinali, motilita e secrezione e sul metabolismo glucidico e lipidico.

Integrazioni di psillio, ma anche di gomme quali guar e caraja determinano un effetto lassativo, ipoglicemizzante ed ipocolesterolemizzante piu pronto. Tuttavia, la fibra alimentare puo garantire un beneficio piu complesso perche negli alimenti si accompagna a sostanze (bioflavonoidi, carotenoidi, fitoestrogeni, ecc.) importanti per il mantenimento dello stato di salute. Scopo del volume, corredato da numerose figure e tabelle che illustrano i concetti trattati, e di aiutare i lettori a comprendere meglio il ruolo che la fibra svolge nella costipazione cronica e in altri disturbi, come l'ipercolesterolemia e l'obesita.

The first full study of "birth figures" and their place in early modern knowledge-making. Birth figures are printed images of the pregnant womb, always shown in series, that depict the variety of ways in which a fetus can present for birth. Historian Rebecca Whiteley coined the term and here offers the first systematic analysis of the images' creation, use, and impact. Whiteley reveals their origins in ancient medicine and explores their inclusion in many medieval gynecological manuscripts, focusing on their explosion in printed midwifery and surgical books in Western Europe from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth century. During this period, birth figures formed a key part of the visual culture of medicine and midwifery and were widely produced. They reflected and shaped how the pregnant body was known and treated. And by providing crucial bodily knowledge to midwives and surgeons, birth figures were also deeply entangled with wider cultural preoccupations with generation and creativity, female power and agency, knowledge and its dissemination, and even the condition of the human in the universe. Birth Figures studies how different kinds of people understood childbirth and engaged with midwifery manuals, from learned physicians to midwives to illiterate listeners. Rich and detailed, this vital history reveals the importance of birth figures in how midwifery was practiced and in how people, both medical professionals and lay readers, envisioned and understood the mysterious state of pregnancy.

Anatomy of the Heart

Ob damals im Studium oder heute bei der Vorbereitung von Vortragen, ob bei der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit oder in Diskussionen zur Funktionsweise des Gehirn- immer und immer wieder kam ich an einen Punkt, an dem ich kurz und knapp Informationen zu einer Struktur haben wollte. In den gangigen Lexika fehlen die meisten Termini, und uber die Lehr-und Handbucher oder uber die Originalarbeiten ist der Zugriff recht langwierig. Kurz und gut: ein Glossar neuroanatomischer und neurofunktionaler Termini musste her. In langjahriger Arbeit entstand nun das vorliegende Glossar, das all jenen helfen soll, die "mal eben" Informationen zu Strukturen des Gehirns nachschlagen wollen. Dabei war es nicht das Ziel, aktuellste Forschungsergebnisse und -diskussionen zu dokumentieren, sondern solide Grundinformationen zusammenzustellen, die helfen, die entsprechende Struktur schnell und effizient in einen Gesamtzusammenhang einzubetten. In diesem Sinne ist das vorliegende Glossar zu verstehen. Ein herzlicher Dank geht an folgende Personen, die alle einen Teil des Glossars tragen: an Herrn Dr. Lange fur die Initiierung des Buches und die reibungsfreie Betreuung, an Frau Wilbertz fur das effiziente Vorantreiben der Produktion, an Frau Dr. Harder fur das Korrekturlesen und die wertvolle Zuarbeit, an meine Familie fur das treue Warten -und, last but not least, an die Firma iAS (www.brainmedia.de) fur die Abbildung auf der Titelseite."
