The writing of this book is based on: 1. earlier experience writing textbooks for biology students with a university-level background in biology and biochemistry with many (>200) ?gures in these books (in Hungarian), 2. and on the necessity to present university lectures as power point presentations to catch the interest of s- dents. The author realizes that young readers who were grown up in an information society are relactant to read too much unless they have to take exams. Even then they prefer books which contain illustrations for a better understanding. In collaboration with colleagues,...

The term heavy metals is used as a group name of toxic metals and metalloids (semimetals) causing contaminations and ecotoxicity. In strict chemical sense the density of heavy metals is higher than 5 g/cm3. From biological point of view as microelements they can be divided into two major groups. a. For their physiological function organisms and cells require essential microelements such as iron, chromium (III), cobalt, copper, manganese, molidenium, zinc. b. The other group of heavy metals is toxic to the health or environment. Of highest concern are the emissions of As, Cd, Co, Cu, Hg,...

To prepare synchronized cells representing different stages of the cell cycle has been a great challenge for researchers across the globe. In "Cell Cycle Synchronization: Methods and Protocols," experts in the field supply detailed protocols providing first the theoretical background of the procedure then step-by-step instructions on how to implement synchronization as well as the latest techniques for the enhanced study of regulatory mechanisms to understand cell cycle events. Describing synchronized cells from asynchronous bacterial, plant, protozoan, yeast, fish, and mammalian cell...

This book deals with biological membranes, focuses on permeabilization and pays particular attention to reversible permeabilization to maintain the viability and physiological conditions of the cells.
Selective permeability of biological membranes also known as semipermeability, partial permeability or differential permeability allows molecules to diffuse, pass by passive and active or by other types of transport processes mediated by proteins.
The first chapter of the book deals with the composition of biological membranes, characterizes cellular membranes of prokaryotic,...

Homeostasis. The health of an organism is influenced by external and internal changes that may lead to the loss of homeostasis. Under healthy conditions organisms compensate these changes. If compensation fails disease ensues. Attention will be paid to lifestyle, environmental changes, genetic makeup and health system. It will be answered how lifestyle, environment, genetic makeup and social conditions help to maintain or upset the biological balance and lead to cancer. Tumor formation. To understand this process the transfer of intracellular and the pathways of extracellular...

This second edition volume provides detailed protocols on the theoretical background of cell cycle synchronization procedures and instructions on how to implement these techniques. The chapters in Cell Cycle Synchronization: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition cover subjects such as: physical fractionations including centrifugal elutriation of healthy and apoptotic cells, and nuclei of mammalian cells; large scale mitotic cell synchronization; chromosome formation during fertilization in eggs; synchronization of unicellular organisms; hematopoietic stem cells used to improve the...

Apoptosis, or cell suicide, is an integral part of the life cycle. This book shows the dynamic change of chromatin structures in a cell cycle-dependent manner.
