Davis, JohnValuable to both newcomers and experienced researchers. Fully revised and updated. Demonstrates techniques of great importance in biotechnology. Provides a grounding to more advanced texts in the Practical Approach Series. This book is a guide for the newcomer to all those areas which are currently basic to the performance of animal (including human) cell culture. Experienced workers should also find it useful as a source of reference when entering a new field, or when setting up a new laboratory.

Barry Halliwell, John Gutteridge Halliwell (medical biochemistry, King's College, London) and Gutteridge (pharmacology, King's College) direct their discussion primarily to biologists and clinicians, and assume virtually no knowledge of chemistry. Their goal is to lead readers gently into an understanding of what free radicals are, how they are generated, and how they can react. Then they evaluate the role of radical reactions in several biological systems. The first edition appeared in 1985, and the 1989 second edition is here updated with the extensive information provided by modern techniques of molecular, cellular, and structural biology. They also cite at least one reference for each finding.

This is the new edition of a college level textbook on molecular cell biology. The emphasis is on experimental basis of current understandings. New experimental methodologies and concepts are introduced in this edition. Thirteen chapters cover such topics as biomembranes and cell architecture, cell integration in tissues, cell transport mechanisms, cellular energetics, molecular genetic techniques, transcriptional control of gene expression, and signaling at the cell surface.

Cada capítulo está estructurado para que el alumno pueda estudiar, de manera clara y concisa, a la vez que profundizando en cada concepto, las características de los organelos celulares. Los capítulos concluyen con las consecuencias patológicas que se presentan cuando algunos de los organelos presenta una disfunción. Cada organelo está tratado también desde un punto de vista gráfico: con su explicación en blanco para que la complete el alumno, éste puede posteriormente autoevaluarse a través de la relación de respuestas correctas comentadas. El glosario que pone punto final a la obra consta de más de 1.000 términos, lo que permite que el estudiante se familiarice con la terminología de la materia.

Fran BalkwillCytokine Molecular Biology concentrates on molecular biology techniques for the study of cytokines, cytokine receptors, and cytokine driven processes. Updated topics from the previous edition are: the cloning and expressing cytokine genes;; the detection of cytokine mRNA; receptor binding studies; the PC-specific phosphslipase C and sphingomylinases. In addition, new topics covered are the purification, sequencing, and synthesis of cytokines; studying cytokine gene polymorphisms; the use of proteomics in cytokine research; and the Jak/STAT and MAPK signalling pathways. Written by experts in the field, Cytokine Molecular Biology and Cytokine Cellular Biology form a comprehensive and essential guide to cytokine research.

Alfonso M Arias, Alfonso Martinez Arias, Alison StewartAn advanced undergraduate textbook focusing on the molecules and mechanisms which underlie the developmental process. In recent years, the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying cellular behaviour have begun to be elucidated. Taking advantage of this new knowledge, Martinez Arias and Stewart here present developmental biology from a new standpoint: one in which the molecules and the genes that encode them, rather than the organisms, take centre stage. This is a compelling modern way of looking at developmental biology. Starting with the genetic programs that underlie development and working up allows a better understanding of the logic of development. TEACHING AIDS Online Resource Centre: ...

Libro de texto dirigido a los estudiantes de todas aquellas licenciaturas en las que el alumno necesita una buena base de biología celular.

The Dictionary of Cell & Molecular Biology provides straightforward definitions for over 7,000 terms in the exciting and fast moving fields of modern cell and molecular biology. It is aimed at students and professional biologists who encounter new terms in this expanding area. Key Features * 2000 new entries bringing the total to 7000 entries * Obsolete terms have been dropped and old ones revised * Wider coverage of relevant molecular and neurobiological terms * Each entry has short, clear definitions that will be easily understood by people at all levels and from a diverse range of backgrounds * More comprehensive cross-referencing of synonyms and from the text * Presentation of certain information in tabular format for clearer and easier reference * New tabular material * Third edition is nearly double the size of the first edition * Content reflects suggestions and comments from readers and users of the on-line version of the second edition * Handy appendices section at back of book * Builds on the success of the first and second editions which were both highly praised and received many glowing reviews
