This title presents a comprehensive review of apoptosis and features contributions from many internationally recognised authors. It sets out to integrate programmed cell death in plants, invertebrates and vertebrates. Rapid publication ensures that the very latest research is included.

Focuses on various issues that have emerged in ageing research in both the animal and plant kingdoms. This book reviews concepts concerning cellular redox homeostatis and ageing in animals and plants, relationships to programmed cell death, and the production of oxidants and dicarbonyls.

Practical Systems Biology provides a detailed overview of the different approaches used in this relatively new discipline, integrating bioinformatics, genomics, proteomics and metabolomics. Various areas of research are also discussed, including the use of computational models of biological processes, and post-genomic research.

Offering an overview of the stages of the eukaryotic cell cycle, this book discusses experiments, research, organisms of interest and findings connected to the various stages of the cycle and the components involved in these. It is suitable for graduate and postdoctoral researchers.

Brought together by leading international experts, this volume summarizes current reserach into the physiology and moleuclar biology of host-parasite interactions.

Carbon Balance of Forest Biomes provides an informed synthesis on the current status of forests and their future potential for carbon sequestration.

Biomechanics in Animal Behaviour offers a unique approach by integrating fully the fields of animal behaviour and biomechanics.

Suitable for postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers, this work gives an overview of the ways in which Drosophila is being used as a model organism to further our understanding of a spectrum of human neurological diseases. Each chapter is written by researchers.

"The Nuclear Envelope" brings together the major current topics in nuclear envelope structure, transport, transcriptional regulation and cell signaling.

This work focuses specifically on the interactions between the environment and developmental mechanisms with particular emphasis given to the consequences for animal populations. It encourages advances in the field by studying physiological mechanisms alongside the analysis of adaptive values.
