Control of Potassium: Distribution, Excretion, and Extracellular Concentration
ISBN: 9781615045006 / Angielski / Miękka / 103 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The ECF K concentration in man living in industrialized societies is normally 4.2 mM, while the intracellular concentration is approximately 140 mM. The ECF concentration is controlled carefully to maintain the value within approximately 15% of the normal level in order to maintain normal function of all cells of the body. This precise control is remarkable considering that the total massof K in the ECF is approximately 200 mM and during the course of each day K absorption from the gastrointestinal tract into the ECF may range from 10 to over 200 mM. Because dietary K intake is not regulated...

Membrane Nanodomains
ISBN: 9781615046201 / Angielski / Miękka / 103 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many membranes in eukaryotic cells are inhomogeneous structures in which various membrane components are nonrandomly distributed, forming diverse types of 'domains.' Some membrane domains have long been well known, because they are sufficiently large, long-lived, and morphologically well defined to be characterized using classical microscopic and biochemical approaches. However, new technologies have revealed the presence in membranes of smaller, often highly dynamic 'nanodomains' that also play key roles in membrane function. Our current understanding of the diversity, the properties, and...

Hearing -- The Brain and Auditory Communication in Marsupials
ISBN: 9783642637056 / Angielski / Miękka / 119 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This monograph evolved from years of research into the auditory pathway and hearing of many species of marsupials. Its function is to give biologists, in par ticular neurobiologists, a broad description and review of what is known of the auditory sensory capacities and processing mechanisms in this large order of mammals. My initial interest in marsupials developed from collaborative work with Dr. Richard Gates at Monash and Melbourne Universities in the 1970s and by curiosity as to whether concepts about the auditory system was stimulated stemming from experiments mainly on domestic cats...

The Hour Between Dog and Wolf: How Risk Taking Transforms Us, Body and Mind

Before he became a world-class scientist, John Coates ran a derivatives trading desk in New York City. He used the expression the hour between dog and wolf to refer to the moment of Jekyll-and-Hyde transformation traders passed through when under pressure. They became cocky and irrationally risk-seeking when on a winning streak, tentative and risk-averse when cowering from losses. In a series of groundbreaking experiments, Coates identified a feedback loop between...

Phagocytosis
ISBN: 9781615044122 / Angielski / Miękka / 105 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Phagocytosis is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that serves as the first line of host defense in multicellular organisms. The traditional definition of phagocytosis involves the engulfment and degradation of large solid particles (>0.5 ?m), initiated by receptor activation on phagocytes. It forms an essential aspect of innate immunity through the uptake and destruction of infectious pathogens, while also participating in the removal of apoptotic cells during tissue remodeling and development. Professional phagocytes, such as macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells, are well...

Angiogenesis: In Vivo Systems, Part a: Volume 444
ISBN: 9780123743138 / Angielski / Twarda / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels and is an important natural process in the body. A healthy body maintains a perfect balance of angiogenesis modulators. In many serious disease states, however, the body loses control over angiogenesis. Diseases that are angiogenesis-dependent result when blood vessels either grow excessively or insufficiently. Understanding how angiogenesis "works" and how to control it, will have massive implications on the management, treatments, and ultimately the prevention of many common (and not so common) diseases. Angiogenesis cuts across virtually...
