Michael B. Evgen’ev • David G. Garbuz Olga G. Zatsepina 2014 The authors are well suited to write such a book, having studied large natural populations at the organismal and molecular levels of the heat shock response. Even during the heyday of the molecular biology of heat shock genes and proteins using model organisms, our authors recognized the […]

Jerry L. Workman • Susan M. Abmayr Editors 2014 As the impact of chromatin-modifying complexes and histone modifications has become more apparent, as methods of proteomic analysis have blossomed, and as whole genome sequences have become available, the field of “epigenetics” has exploded. Over the past decade, it has even given birth to new related fields such as epigenomics. […]

Margareta Hammarlund-Udenaes Elizabeth C.M. de Lange • Robert G. Thorne Editors 2014 Physiological Concepts, Methodologies and Approaches More than four decades have passed since Reese, Karnovsky, and Brightman used electron microscopy to unequivocally establish that tight junctions between brain endothelial cells form the blood–brain barrier (Brightman and Reese 1969; Reese and Karnovsky 1967). This finding ushered in a […]

Hrvoj Vančik 2014 This textbook appears as a result of the experience in more than 20 years of lecturing organic chemistry to students of biology, molecular biology, and ecology within the Faculty of Science and Mathematics of the University of Zagreb. Since the great books of organic chemistry for chemists appear to be too advanced for students whose study […]

Philip C. Burcham 2014 Some five or six decades ago, the normal perils of childbirth were shockingly escalated for an unsuspecting generation of mothers in Germany, Canada, Australia and the UK. In a ghastly epidemic that unfolded over several years beginning in the late 1950s, distraught parents were confronted by the birth of babies with severely disfigured upper and […]

Kathryn N. Huggett • William B. Jeffries Editors 2014 This book was conceived as a tool for the many varieties of medical teacher: the basic scientist, the clinical faculty member, the resident physician and the community practitioner. Individuals from each of these groups often assume the responsibility for educating the physicians of tomorrow.
