    Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells depend strongly on the function of ion pumps present in their membranes. This book focuses on various aspects of ion pump structure, mechanism, and regulation using the ion-transporting ATPases as examples.

    £139.49

    Provides an overview of the cytoskeleton particularly on the role the cytoskeleton plays in the regulation of cell structure and function. This book presents trends in cytoskeletal research that go beyond the traditional approach of identifying proteins in the cytoskeleton, but actually define how these proteins interact with signaling pathways.

  • - Part I: Structure, Organization, Development and Regeneration: Part II: Biochemistry, Physiology and Pharmacology: Part III: Pathological Conditions
    by L. (Gilmour Hertz
    £312.99

    The brain, and the rest of the nervous system, consists of nerve cells (neurons) and non-neuronal cells (glial cells). These volumes give basic information about cell types and biochemical and physiological interactions between these cells during normal function and in disease states.

  • by Michael Pusch
    £132.99

    All living cells are surrounded by a lipidic membrane that isolates them from the often harsh environment. Specialized transporters exist to shuttle electrically charged ions, positive cations like sodium or negative anions like chloride, across the membrane. This presents this field of membrane transport.

  • by J. (Rowett Research Institute Hesketh
    £103.49

    It is clear from a range of research that cytoplasm is not merely a buffered solution of proteins and enzymes but contains a series of complex filamentous structures. The cytoskeleton is the collective term given to these filaments. This title talks about cytoskeleton.

    £87.99

    One prerequisite for the evolution of multicellular organisms was the invention of mechanisms by which cells could adhere to one another. This title presents commentaries on contemporary topics within the broad field of cell adhesion.

  • by Michael (Department of Physiological Sciences Medical School Whitaker
    £87.99

    There has been an enormous advance in our understanding of the regulation of the cell division cycle. This title includes an illustration of how fruitful the genetic approach can be in other organisms than yeast with a chapter on Aspergillus nidulans. It stresses the importance of phosphatase as well as kinase activity to cell cycle regulation.

  • by C. (Department of Biochemistry Woodward
    £94.99

    Introduces biomedical scientists to important areas of protein structural biology. This book provides an insightful orientation to the primary literature that shapes the field in different subjects.

  •  
    £87.99

    The molecules involved in cell adhesion are of fundamental importance to the structure and function of all multicellular organisms. This book focuses on the systems of vertebrates, especially mammals, since these are most relevant to human disease. It shows how adhesive phenomena contributes to important aspects of cell behavior and human health.

    Intracellular protein degradation is much more than just a mechanism for the removal of incorrectly folded or damaged proteins. This volume brings together a set of reviews that provide a summary of our knowledge of the proteolytic machinery and of the pathways of protein breakdown of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

  • by C.E. (Indiana University School of Medicine & Roudebush VA Medical Center Patterson
    £110.49

    Covers endothelial biology from the fundamentals of structure and lung fluid balance physiology to descriptions of the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of lung failure. This illustrated text provides the knowledge of endothelial function, vascular integrity, pulmonary function, and pathophysiology in respiratory failure.

    £87.99

    The mechanisms of protein trafficking are of fundamental biological importance and are the focus of intensive research world-wide. Over the years, mitochondria have served as the paradigm organelle system to study these processes. This title reviews the central aspects of mitochondrial biogenesis.

  • by E.E. Bittar
    £150.99

    Caveolae are small structures found at the surface of cells. They are responsible for the regulation of important metabolic pathway. As a consequence, they may play a critical role in several human diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, and muscular dystrophies. This book analyzes the role and function of caveolae in these aspects.

  • by J. (Department of Biochemistry Barber
    £87.99

    Research into the basic mechanisms of photosynthesis has a distinguished history and has consistently been at the forefront of science. This book reviews some of the most important developments which are a part of the drive towards the overall goal of obtaining the complete description of the photosynthetic processes at the molecular level.

  • by L.B. (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Chen
    £144.99

    After years of dominance by recombinant DNA technology, the field of molecular and cell biology witnessed an interest in techniques and approaches that are not driven by DNA acrobatics. This book shows how if one wishes to know how cells work, the secret is not to be found in DNA, but rather in everything outside DNA.

  •  
    £87.99

    Is this suicide response an evolutionary fail-safe device to curtail tumorogenesis? Does oxidative stress-induced apoptosis account for the loss of immune cells in AIDS? This title attempts to present the spectrum of roles, both good and bad played by active oxygen species as understood in the evolution of the field of free radical biology.

    £87.99

    Features: the inherent scientific interest in understanding secretion of the pancreatic ss-cell; the ss-cells relevance to a very common disease; the availability of funding from specific sources related to diabetes research, for instance, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation International and the British Diabetic Association.

  •  
    £87.99

    The revolution in biological research initiated by the demonstration that particular DNA molecules could be isolated, recombined in novel ways, and conveniently replicated to high copy number in vivo for further study has spawned many additional advances that have enhanced our understanding of cellular processes to an astonishing degree.

    Talks about Gap junction research.

  • by C.R. (Department of Pharmacology and Environmental Toxicology Center Jefcoate
    £70.49

    Research on the cytochrome P450 family of genes has traditionally been dominated by forms participating in drug metabolism. This book focuses on the physiological processes that are controlled by the products of reactions at usually very selective cytochrome P450 forms.
