"High-throughput molecular technologies ("omics") can help to decipher the contributions of different physiological systems and identify candidate molecules that are representative of different physiological pathways thereby allowing to discover biomarkers. Notably, the' omics t…
"With information for patients and practitioners on optimizing mitochondrial function for greater health and longevity, Why do we age? Why does cancer develop? What's the connection between heart failure and Alzheimer's disease, or infertility and hearing loss? Can we extend lif…
"Proteomics aims to study all the proteins of human and other living systems, and their properties to provide an integrated view of cellular processes. The proteomic study involves the application of high-throughput technologies that are rapidly evolving and new platforms are co…
Through its clear presentation of the basic concepts, Gel Electrophoresis: Nucleic Acids breaks new ground by describing the principles of the technique without resorting to complicated protocols and recipes.
The origin story and emergence of molecular biology is muddled. The early triumphs in bacterial genetics and the complexity of animal and plant genomes complicate an intricate history. This book documents the many advances, as well as the prejudices and founder fallacies. It hig…
"Principles of Neurobiology, Second Edition presents the major concepts of neuroscience with an emphasis on how we know what we know. The text is organized around a series of key experiments to illustrate how scientific progress is made and helps upper-level undergraduate and gr…
"From biology to economics to information theory, the theme of interdependence is in the air, framing our experiences of all sorts of everyday phenomena. Indeed, the network may be the ascendant metaphor of our time. Yet precisely because the language of interdependence has beco…

The Geometric Induction of Bone Formation describes new biomimetic biomaterials that offer mechanistic osteogenic surfaces for the autonomous and spontaneous induction of bone formation without the addition of osteogenic soluble molecular signals of the transforming growth facto…
"This book examines how the growing knowledge of the huge range of animal- and plant- bacterial interactions, whether in shared ecosystems or intimate symbioses, is fundamentally altering our understanding of biology. The establishment and maintenance of these interactions and t…
Phylogenomics: A Primer, Second Edition is for advanced undergraduate and graduate biology students studying molecular biology, comparative biology, evolution, genomics, and biodiversity. This book explains the essential concepts underlying the storage and manipulation of genomi…
This is a comprehensive guide to single-stranded RNA phages (family Leviviridae), first discovered in 1961. These phages played a unique role in early studies of molecular biology, the genetic code, translation, replication, suppression of mutations. Special attention is devoted…
"This volume focuses on methods applied to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), a common human genetic disease. ADPKD is caused by abnormal cilia formation or function. This proposed book will cover the state-of-the-art methods ranging from molecular biology, bi…
"This book is a comprehensive and authoritative summary of human tumor/cancer syndromes. Each chapter will review the biology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of a particular tumor/cancer syndrome"--
This volume covers the theory and applications of transport phenomena in synthetic membranes - describing modern membrane preparation methods, structures, characteristics and properties.;Examining different types of membranes and how they are used, Membrane Science and Technolog…
JAK-STAT pathway is one of the few signal transduction pathways that transduce signals involved in multiple homeostatic biological processes including cell differentiation and proliferation, cell death, hematopoiesis and immune responses. JAK-STAT is an elegant pathway that is r…
Atlas of Terrestrial Mammal Limbs is the first comprehensive and detailed anatomy book on a broad phylogenetic and ecological range of mammals. This extraordinary new work features more than 400 photographs and illustrations visualizing the limb musculature of 28 different speci…
