Phase Resetting in Medicine and Biology: Stochastic Modelling and Data Analysis
ISBN: 9783540381594 / Angielski / Miękka / 329 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Synchronization processes are of great interest and importance in biology, medicine and physics. In particular, for the comprehension of brain function- ing it appears inevitable that one should analyze neuronal synchronization processes. This book presents a new understanding of how a stimulus in- fluences synchronization patterns of a population of oscillators. On the one hand, a variety of stimulation-induced dynamical phenomena will be pre- sented; on the other hand, new data analysis tools will be developed which will serve as a link between theory and experiment. In this way it will be...

Cellular Signaling in Health and Disease
ISBN: 9780387981727 / Angielski / Twarda / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In today's world, three great classes of non-infectious diseases - the metabolic syndromes (such as type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis), the cancers, and the neurodegenerative disorders - have risen to the fore. These diseases, all associated with increasing age of an individual, have proven to be remarkably complex and difficult to treat. This is because, in large measure, when the cellular signaling pathways responsible for maintaining homeostasis and health of the body become dysregulated, they generate equally stable disease states. As a result the body may respond positively to a...

Articular Cartilage
ISBN: 9783639132205 / Angielski / Miękka / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Until the processes occurring at healthy cartilage
are not widely known, it is impossible to understand which factors have a decisive influence on pathological changes in diseases like osteoarthritis. Apart from the biochemical interactions, the mechanical behaviour of the articular cartilage plays a decisive role. During every joint motion enormous loads affect the bearing surface and normally cause no damage on the thin layers of cartilage. In order to evaluate this outstanding performance, unconfined compression and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were utilized to gain a detailed...

includes a single helix which spans the width of a cellular membrane. It is a growth factor receptor which dimerizes (forms pairs) when signaling cell growth and proliferation. Key mutations at a specific location in the transmembrane domain (TMD) of the neu protein have been demonstrated to result in permanent dimerization of mutated pairs, and are simultaneously associated with the formation of cancerous tumors. The physical effects of these key point mutations that lead to such permanent dimerization are not known. Atomistic molecular... Neu is a membrane-bound protein whose structure

Impact of M-current on neuronal excitability
ISBN: 9783639149890 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The M-current (of the KCNQ2/3 channel) is voltage-
gated potassium current that controls neuronal excitability. Mutations of the KCNQ2/KCNQ3 genes cause BFNC, a neonatal form of epilepsy. Despite substantial research, we do not understand yet the mechanisms by which M-channels modulate neuronal excitability. This book, therefore, evaluates the impact of these channels on the excitability of hippocampal neurons and transmitter release. It appraises the impact of M-channels on spontaneous excitatory/inhibitory post-synaptic currents (sEPSCs/sIPSCs), as well as miniature EPSCs/IPSCs....
