Xiaochun Li ¢ Ronghui Xu Editors 2009 In an era with a plethora of high-throughput biological technologies, biomedical researchers are investigating more comprehensive aspects of cancer with ever-finer resolution. Not only does this result in large amount of data but also data with hundreds if not thousands of dimensions.

Christiane Richter-Landsberg 2009 Heat shock proteins (HSPs), also called stress proteins, are not only induced in response to elevated temperatures, but also as a result of various stress situations, including environmental strains, viral infection, ischemia, anoxia and oxidative stress. These stress situations trigger cellular defence mechanisms that act as an emergency system capable of combatting the toxic consequences due to […]

Xiao-Ming Yin l Zheng Dong Editors 2009 A Guide for Basic and Clinical Research The first edition of this book was published in 2003. It was intended to provide the basic and essential information of apoptosis for those who were new to the field and who wanted to apply the knowledge to their own research. The book therefore […]

Wolfgang Meyerhof, Sigrun Korsching (eds.) 2009 The sense of smell has an essential role in locating food, detecting predators, navigating, and communicating social information. Accordingly, the olfactory system has evolved complex repertoires of receptors to face these problems. Although the sense of taste has less far-reaching tasks, they are every bit as essential for the animals well-being, allowing it […]

Vladimir Parpura • Philip G. Haydon Editors 2009 Astrocytes were the original neuroglia that Ramón y Cajal visualized in 1913 using a gold sublimate stain. This stain targeted intermediate filaments that we now know consist mainly of glial fibrillary acidic protein, a protein used today as an astrocytic marker. Cajal described the morphological diversity of these cells with […]
