International Review of Cytology presents current advances and comprehensive reviews in cell biology-both plant and animal. Articles address structure and control of gene expression, nucleocytoplasmic interactions, control of cell development and differentiation, and cell transformation and growth. Authored by some of the foremost scientists in the field, each volume provides up-to-date information and directions for future research.
This volume provides an overview of major cytoplasmic properties and events which including cytoarchitecture and the physical properties of cytoplasm, molecular compartmentation and gradients, channeling, sorting, and trafficking. It also addresses physicochemical events, both measured and anticipated, which attend solutions under conditions prevailing in cytoplasm: molecular crowding. It summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field and considers questions such as how molecules in cytoplasm interact.

The birth of Dolly -- the world's first clone -- placed in our hands the secret of creation. Few discoveries have so altered our notion of what it means to be human, or presented such a Gordian knot of ethical, spiritual, and scientific questions. Noted science journalist Gina Kolata broke the news nationally in The New York Times and was the first reporter to speak with Dr. Ian Wilmut, the embryologist who cloned Dolly. Now Kolata reveals the story behind Dolly, interweaving the social and cultural tales of our fear and fascination with cloning, reaching back nearly a century, with the riveting scientific accountof how a clone came to be and the mind-boggling questions Dolly presents for our future.

Clone is a compelling blend of scientific suspense, dreams dashed, and frauds exposed, with provocative philosophical questions and an astute assessment of why Dolly's birth was only possible now. Like The Making of the Atomic Bomb, Lucy, and Chaos, this book gives us a window on history in the making, and an understanding of its profound effect on our lives.

If scientists can successfully clone sheep, will humans be next? Today's headlines read like a science fiction novel! Due Consideration takes a poignant look at the rapidly changing field of biomedicine and the consequences it will have on our lives. Arthur Caplan, one of this nation's leading bioethicists, explores these issues and analyzes moral questions including:
* Will we retain our essential humanity if we modify our biological blueprint?
* Would it be irresponsible to procreate without a thorough genetic examination?
* Who will decide if physical traits like short stature and baldness are considered diseases?
* Can biomedicine make our lives better?
You'll also learn about the most current and controversial topics such as:
* Cloning, abortion and assisted suicide.
* Genetically engineering a human to be immune from infectious diseases.
* The ability to "design" our children from head to toe.
* Diagnosing and treating illnesses during fetal development.
* Programs to prevent the transmission of HIV.
No other book on the market today combines this analytic clarity with the latest from medical journals and media headlines. Now, you can decide for yourself what the future ought to hold in store.

Neoglycoconjugates are not only useful for the basic understanding of protein-carbohydrate interactions, but they have many practical applications as well. They are powerful reagents in many cell biology studies and excellent tools for the isolation and characterization of animal and plant lectins, separation of cells, as well as for the targeting of drugs, artificial vaccines, and diagnostic reagents. Volume 247 and its companion Volume 242 contain many practical methods on how to prepare and use neoglycoconjugates. Volume 242 deals with synthesis and 247 with biomedical applications.

This inaugural volume in the Graphic Medicine series establishes the principles of graphic medicine and begins to map the field. The volume combines scholarly essays by members of the editorial team with previously unpublished visual narratives by Ian Williams and MK Czerwiec, and it includes arresting visual work from a wide range of graphic medicine practitioners. The book's first section, featuring essays by Scott Smith and Susan Squier, argues that as a new area of scholarship, research on graphic medicine has the potential to challenge the conventional boundaries of academic disciplines, raise questions about their foundations, and reinvigorate literary scholarship-and the notion of the literary text-for a broader audience. The second section, incorporating essays by Michael Green and Kimberly Myers, demonstrates that graphic medicine narratives can engage members of the health professions with literary and visual representations and symbolic practices that offer patients, family members, physicians, and other caregivers new ways to experience and work with the complex challenges of the medical experience. The final section, by Ian Williams and MK Czerwiec, focuses on the practice of creating graphic narratives, iconography, drawing as a social practice, and the nature of comics as visual rhetoric. A conclusion (in comics form) testifies to the diverse and growing graphic medicine community. Two valuable bibliographies guide readers to comics and scholarly works relevant to the field.

This is a companion volume to the author's Medicinal Plant Alkaloids, published by University of Toronto in 1965. It consists of descriptions and discussion of selected groups of plant glycosides of medicinal significance, and bridges the gap, for pharmacy students, between general references in the standard textbooks on the one hand and the more advanced coverage given in specialized reference books and research journals on the other.

Bei Erweitenmg des Wissens macht sich von Zeit zu Zeit eine Umordnung nothig; sie geschieht meistens nach neueren Maximen. bleibt aber immer provisorisch. GOETHE, Maximen und Reflexionen Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability. SIR WILLIAM OSLER, Aphorisms Wahrend die "klassischen" Rontgenverfahren geniigend Zeit hatten, durch mehrere Generationen zu reifen, hatte die Mammographie nur etwa 10-15 Jahre Zeit zur Entwicklung, und diese auch teilweise mit unvollkommener Technik; die sogenannten "neuen bildgebenden Ver- fahren" standen schon vor den Toren. Auch die Strahlenhysterie der fruhen siebziger Jahre hatte die an- fangs stiirmische Entwicklung der Mammographie deutlich gebremst. Andererseits, man muB es zugeben, wurde die technische Entwicklung gerade durch diese hervorgerufen. Das Kapitel Mammographie, von den Meistem noch nicht abge- schlossen, wurde somit von den Schiilem der neuen Radiologiegenera- tion nicht aufgegriffen, nicht weiterentwickelt, weil diese dem Wunder der neuen diagnostischen Dimensionen der Computertomographie, der Sonographie usw. eriag. Man soli aber urn der Wahrheit willen hinzufiigen, daB sich neuer- dings gerade bei den jungen Radiologen eine Trendwende zeigt: immer mehr von ihnen schicken mir Konsiliarfalle oder wollen hospitieren, und auf meinen Seminaren sehe ich lauter junge Gesichter. Vielleicht iibemehmen sie eines Tages auch den Staffelstab der Forschung: unge- IOste Probleme gibt es noch genug! Paradox, daB dieses noch nicht vollendete Verfahren trotzdem un- ser tagliches Brot geblieben ist - wenn auch mit Unsicherheit behaftet.
