Thoroughly researched using experimentation and re-examination of
all previously published evidence, Molecular and Physiological
Mechanisms of Muscle Contraction is a carefully crafted treatise
and revision of previous conceptions of muscle contraction. It
presents detailed descriptions of new, previously unpublished data
and hybrids recent findings with the standard Huxley model. This
book demonstrates that traditional concepts cannot fully explain
contraction and builds upon previous work. It identifies flaws in
the reasoning initially used to explain some results as well as
alternative interpretations accounting for inconsistencies. In
response to previous bodies of inconsistent or conflicting theories
and data, the book synthesizes research based on the Huxley model
with more recent experimental and laboratory findings to define a
new model. The new model this book proposes is not a replacement
for the standard Huxley model of muscle contraction, but a
modification based on recent research and synthesized with
pre-existing data and conceptions. It reconciles new data with
prior information that is contradictory or not entirely explicable
in proposing a new integrated and more complete model of muscle
contraction.
Alzheimer's disease is one of the major scientific, medical and
social challenges of our time. This book, the first in the new
series "Research and Perspectives in Alzheimer's " "Disease,"
presents a particularly up-to-date approach of immunological and
biochemical aspects. It is written by the most outstanding
scientists and contains recent data. The following are among the
most interesting ideas contained in this book: - Alzheimer's
disease is a cerebral form of amyloidosis. - some data are in
accordance with an immunological hypothesis of this disease. -
degeneration of microvessels - including amyloid angiopathy - could
be very important in the changes in the brain with Alzheimer's
disease. - the molecular study of A4 protein and its precursor is
important for the understanding of the disease. This synthesis by
prominent scientists provides a stimulating hypothesis about the
determinism of the disease.
