Role of TRPV4 Channels in Different Organ Systems, Volume 89, the
latest release in the Current Topics in Membranes series, provides
an in-depth description of the role of TRPV4 ion channels in
different organ systems under healthy and disease conditions.
Research over the last two decades shows crucial physiological and
pathological roles for TRPV4 channels. In this volume, we present
chapters focusing on TRPV4 channels in the vasculature, lungs,
heart, kidney, bladder, skin, musculoskeletal system, eye, and
immune cells. Understanding the behavior of TRPV4 channels in
various organ systems will provide a big picture on their
physiological roles and therapeutic targeting.
Strategies to Mitigate the Toxicity of Cancer Therapeutics, Volume
155 in the Advances in Cancer Research series, highlights new
advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting
chapters, each of which is written by an international board of
authors.
In tandem with the recent surge in interest by various industry
players in meliponiculture that see the rapid expansion of the
stingless industry globally, there is a need to disseminate new
knowledge and research findings in stingless beekeeping. The demand
for honey-based products and related activities in meliponiculture
opens many opportunities and new challenges in the stingless bee
industry that require answers and solutions. Recent Advances in
Global Meliponiculture highlights the most recent work on
meliponine and meliponiculture. It disseminates information, shares
recent works, and fosters a global network on stingless bee
research. Covering topics such as pollination services, vertical
hive technology, and honey applications, this premier reference
source is an essential resource for practitioners, meliponists,
apiarists, students and educators of higher education, librarians,
researchers, and academicians.
Brain Candy for expectant parents
Pregnancy is an adventure.
Lots of books tell you the basics--"the baby is the size of insert
fruit here]." But pregnant science writer Jena Pincott began to
wonder just how a baby might tinker with her body--and vice
versa--and chased down answers to the questions she wouldn't ask
her doctor, such as:
- Does stress sharpen your baby's mind--or dull it?
- Can you predict your baby's temperament?
- Why are babies born in the darker months of the year more likely
to grow up to be novelty-loving risk takers?
- Are bossy, dominant women more likely to have boys?
- How can the cells left behind by your baby affect you years
later?
This is a different kind of pregnancy book--thoughtful, fun, and
filled with information you won't find anywhere else.
Microbiome in Neurological Disease, Volume 167 in the International
Review of Neurobiology series, highlights new advances in the
field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters written
by an international board of authors. Section in this new release
cover Intersections of the microbiome and early neurodevelopment,
Microbiome influences on neuro-immune interactions, The genomes of
Parkinson's disease, Experimental contributions of the microbiome
to Parkinson's disease, The foundations of microbiome contributions
to Alzheimer's disease, Immunologic pathways by which the gut
microbiota influences Alzheimer's disease, Role of the gut
microbiome in Huntington's Disease, and much more.
Wnt Signaling in Development and Disease, Volume 153 in the Current
Topics in Developmental Biology series, highlights new advances in
the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapter on
topics such as The cell biology of Wnt gradient formation,
Approaches to visualize and trace Wnt signaling in vitro and in
vivo, WNT signaling and the regulation of pluripotency,
Wnt/Frizzled signaling in stem cells in development and cancer, Wnt
signaling in hydra development and regeneration, Wnt signaling in
whole body regeneration, Role of planar cell polarity and Wnt
signaling in left-right asymmetry, Wnt signaling in axial
progenitors, and more. Other chapters cover Wnt signaling in
Xenopus neural development, Wnt signaling in hematopoietic stem
cell development, Wnt signaling and the maintenance and
regeneration of the gut epithelium, Wnt signaling in the skeleton
as a basis for Wnt-based regenerative medicine, and Non-canonical
Wnt5a-Ror signaling: Insights from human congenital disorders and
cancer.
Advances in Genetics serial, Volume 110 highlights new advances in
the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on
a variety of timely topics, all written by an international board
of authors.
Advances in Biomembranes and Lipid Self-Assembly, Volume 34,
formerly titled Advances in Planar Lipid Bilayers and Liposomes,
provides a global platform for the study of cell membranes, lipid
model membranes and lipid self-assemblies, from the micro- to the
nanoscale. As planar lipid bilayers are widely studied due to their
ubiquity in nature, this book presents research on their
application in the formulation of biomimetic model membranes, and
in the design of artificial dispersion of liposomes. Chapters cover
Physical properties of SOPC lipid membranes containing cholesterol
by molecular dynamics simulation, Exciting membrane fluctuations -
more than thermal stimulation, Fluctuations shaping bio-membrane
adhesion, and more.
Advances in Genetics, Volume 109 in this ongoing series, highlights
new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting
interesting chapters written by an international board of authors.
Chapters in this new release include Epigenetic regulation of
angiogenesis in tumor progression, RecBCD and Chi hotspots as
determinants of self vs. non-self: A re-evaluation, Horizontal gene
transfer to plants from Agrobacterium and related bacterial
species, and more.
This special volume titled The Cardiovascular Glycocalyx in Health
and Disease has the goal of giving an updated perspective of the
glycocalyx function through the cardiovascular system and its
integration in whole system physiology. This volume will address
roles of the glycocalyx at the membrane and cellular level and its
implications to overall cardiovascular function and disease
progression. Further, pharmacological targeting of the glycocalyx
will be addressed as an important mechanism for diagnosis and
therapeutic interventions.
