Proceedings of the International Symposia of the Princess Takamatsu Cancer Research Fund, Volume 13 ADP-Ribosylation, DNA Repair and Cancer..

In a fast-moving field it is unlikely that articles written more than a year ago would be completely up to date...

The regenerative capacity of the liver has been recognized for centuries, but when it is overwhelmed by insulting stimuli or is chronically damaged, its regenerative capability is substantially reduced or lost. Researchers have been working to find solutions to cure failing human liver function. Giv..

A comprehensive overview of cell therapy imaging, this book emphasizes the use of medical imaging for therapeutic delivery/targeting, cell tracking, and determining therapeutic efficacy. It presents background information and insight on the major classes of stem and progenitor cells and describes th..

This volume is the result of the concerted effeort of a number os scientists to summarize in a succinct way the current understanding of the mechanisms of these localizations. The editors of the book gratefully acknowledge this combined effort...

This book makes an important contribution to current philosophical debate on the nature and origins of agency. It defines action as a uniquely biological process and recasts human intentional action as a specialized case of a broader and more common phenomenon than has been previously assumed. Uniti..

Exploring the chromosomal imbalance (aneuploidy) theory of cancer, this volume describes how cancer is initiated and why progression takes years to decades. It clarifies why cancer cells often become drug resistant, provides objective, quantitative measures for detecting cancer and monitoring its pr..

A synthesis and collation of the recent material regarding the role of the neutrophil in basic pathological processes is presented in this volume. The mechanisms of chemotaxis, secretion, phagocytosis, intracellular killing, oxygen radical production and arachidonate production are comprehensively ..

Exploring their role in the physiology of development and wound repair and pathophysiologies such as cancer, this book describes the importance of biological electric fields and their use as tools to influence tissue repair and regeneration. It also discusses the role of bioelectricity in cancer pro..

The ras Superfamily of GTPases presents the most comprehensive compilation of information available regarding aspects of the putative function of small ras-related GTPases. The book's chapters were written by the world's most prominent scientists in this field and cover such topics as the structure ..

As our understanding of living processes, such as inheritance, grows, so do the possibilities of applying these results for good and evil, such as the treatment of disease, the control of ageing, behaviour and genetic engineering. These discoveries and their implications are discussed by some of the..
