This has led to the identification of a number of important biological functions for Na+ channels. In recent years, much biological research has been carried out at molecular and cellular levels, and therefore selective inhibitors of enzymes and selective antagonist\/agonists of receptors and channels have become increasingly important research tools.

It has always been a hot subject in biology, a source of far-reaching hypotheses, even more so now when explanations for the mechanisms of cell prolifera- tive mortality or immortality seem within our reach. A question which is still debated is whether an infinite division potential can be a normal trait or is always the result of modifications leading to abnormal cell growth and escape from homeostasis. In general, investigators have been advocates of one of the two extremes, universal limited or unlim- ited normal proliferative potential. Since the long-term proliferative potential of cells concerns regulation of development, regeneration of tissues, and homeostatic control of cell growth, in brief survival of living organisms, and since the regulation of these processes is so different along the evolutionary scale, it is not surpris- ing that there does not seem to be any universal trait. The question of whether cells are endowed with finite or infinite prolifera- tive phenotypes has to be seen using the perspective of comparative biology.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52336832217361,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52336832905489,"sku":"NLS9783540656180","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783540656180.jpg?v=1758164664"},{"product_id":"molluscs-book-guido-cimino-9783540308799","title":"Molluscs","description":"Marine molluscs are very promising candidates for a wide range of biotechnological applications.

For instance, fibroblastic cells are tightly attached to the extra-cellular matrix and display a flattened, spindle-shaped morphology. Neuronal cells self-organize as a network through a complex branching of dendrites and a long axonal extension. Resting peripheral blood lymphocytes are poorly adhesive and maintain a spherical, smooth shape, while macroph- ages produce many pseudopodal extensions involved in the recognition of foreign molecules. In addition to the variability of the morphology of the cells that constitute different organs, many cell types also modify dynamically their morphology in response to environmental changes, leading to differential cell motility, migration, adhesion, polarity or intercellular contacts. This wide plasticity of cell morphology is promoted and maintained by the cytoskeleton, which is composed of the three interconnected actin micro filaments, tubulin microtubules and intermediate filaments networks, all capable of assembly and disassembly. Over the past few years, the Rho family of Ras-like GTPases emerged as key proteins that mediate extracellular signalling pathways leading to the forma- tion of polymerized actin-containing structures such as ruffles, lamellipodia and filopodia. Since the discovery of the first member RhoA in 1985, 13 mem- bers have so far been characterized in human cells. Most of Rho proteins are highly conserved between species as distant as yeast, slime mold, insects and mammals, which points to their fundamental role in cellular physiology.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52426206871825,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52426207494417,"sku":"NLS9783540648086","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783540648086.jpg?v=1759157034"},{"product_id":"molecular-basis-of-symbiosis-book-jrg-overmann-9783642066467","title":"Molecular Basis of Symbiosis","description":"Symbiotic associations involving prokaryotes occur ubiquitously and are ecologically highly significant.

It holds sister chromatids together, and through its centromere DNA-protein complex known as the kinetochore binds spindle microtubules to bring about accurate chromosome movements. Despite this conserved function, centromeres exhibit dramatic difference in structure, size, and complexity. Extensive studies on centromeric DNA revealed its rapid evolution resulting often in significant difference even among closely related species. Such a plasticity of centromeric DNA could be explained by epigenetic c- trol of centromere function, which does not depend absolutely on primary DNA sequence. According to epigenetic centromere concept, which is thoroughly d- cussed by Tanya Panchenko and Ben Black in Chap. 1 of this book, centromere activation or inactivation might be caused by modifications of chromatin. Such acquired chromatin epigenetic modifications are then inherited from one cell di- sion to the next. Concerning centromere-specific chromatin modification, it is now evident that all centromeres contain a centromere specific histone H3 variant, CenH3, which replaces histone H3 in centromeric nucleosomes and provides a structural basis that epigenetically defines centromere and differentiates it from the surrounding chromatin. Recent insights into the CenH3 presented in this chapter add important mechanistic understanding of how centromere identity is initially established and subsequently maintained in every cell cycle.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52455715143953,"sku":"NLS9783642101236","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783642101236.jpg?v=1759375135"},{"product_id":"biology-of-aging-book-alvaro-macieira-coelho-9783540438274","title":"Biology of Aging","description":"The survival of the human species has improved significantly in modern times. During the last century, the mean survival of human populations in developed countries has increased more than during the preceding 5000 years. This improvement in survival was accompanied by an increase in the number of active years. In other words, the increase in mean life span was accompanied by an increase in health span. This is now accentuated by progress in medicine reducing the impact of physiologic events such as menopause and of patho logical processes such as atherosclerosis. Up to now, research on aging, whether theoretical or experimental, has not contributed to improvement in human survival. Actually, there is a striking contrast between these significant modifications in survival and the present knowledge of the mechanisms of human aging. Revealed by this state of affairs are the profound disagreements between gerontologists in regard to the way oflooking at the aging process.

In general, investigators have been advocates of one of the two extremes, universal limited or unlim- ited normal proliferative potential. Since the long-term proliferative potential of cells concerns regulation of development, regeneration of tissues, and homeostatic control of cell growth, in brief survival of living organisms, and since the regulation of these processes is so different along the evolutionary scale, it is not surpris- ing that there does not seem to be any universal trait. The question of whether cells are endowed with finite or infinite prolifera- tive phenotypes has to be seen using the perspective of comparative biology.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52479879938321,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52479881085201,"sku":"NLS9783642084911","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783642084911.jpg?v=1759849383"},{"product_id":"signaling-pathways-for-translation-book-robert-e-rhoads-9783642075056","title":"Signaling Pathways for Translation","description":"This volume presents the response of the eukaryotic translational apparatus to cellular stress and apoptosis, including kinases activated through both the ERK and stress-activated pathways.

During development, cell diversity originates through asymmetry; in the adult organism asymmetric divisions regulate the stem cell reservoir and are a source of the drift that contributes to the aging of organisms with renewable cell compartments. Because of the concept of semi-conservative DNA synthesis, it was thought that the distribution of DNA between daughter cells was symmetric. The analysis of the phenomenon in cells during mitosis, however, revealed the asymmetry in the distribution of the genetic material that creates the drift contributing to aging of mammals. On the other hand, cancer cells can originate from a deregulation of asymmetry during mitosis in particular during stem cell expansion.

The latter is provided to a great extent by the molecules which constitute the extracellular matrix. On the one hand, the matrix creates inter alia the right pH and osmotic envi- ronment and allows the diffusion of messengers targeting the cell membrane; on the other hand, it has a mechanical effect whose relevance began to be understood 28 years ago. Basically, the messages that reach the cell and are then transported to the genome depend on molecular conformational flexibility. Molecular structures usually prevail because they represent states of minimum potential energy cre- ating energy barriers which are activated through conformational changes. From the periphery to the nucleus the information flows through the activa- tion of energy barriers. The tools used to switch from low-energy to high- energy molecular configurations are: the binding of ligands to their receptors, gradients of electrochemical potential created by ion pumps, Ca2+ mobiliza- tion, and phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. Variation in molecular con- figuration through molecular binding is in itself sufficient to trigger ion pumps and activate kinases and phosphatases. This is one aspect of the mechanical role of the extracellular matrix dealt with herein: the induction of molecular and supramolecular conformational modifications through interactions with the cell membrane, which promote the transduction and centripetal progression of signals.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52616724381969,"sku":"NLS9783642641176","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783642641176.jpg?v=1761528169"},{"product_id":"cytoplasmic-fate-of-messenger-rna-book-philippe-jeanteur-9783642644207","title":"Cytoplasmic fate of messenger RNA","description":"Among all cellular RNA species of the three main types, ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA or messenger RNA, be they from prokaryotic or eukaryotic organisms, the prokaryotic mRNA is unique in that it has no precursor and is synthesized in the same mature form as it is translated into proteins. In fact, ribosomes join the nascent mRNA chain and engage in protein synthesis long before its transcription is complete. Provisions are even made for slowing down the ribo- somes at some sites to prevent them from catching up with the RNA-polymerase. Of course, such a situation is only possible in the prokaryotic world where there is no such thing as a nuclear mem- brane physically secluding the transcription process from the cy- toplasm where translation is restricted. Quite in the opposite extreme, the eukaryotic pre-messenger RNA has to suffer many and sometimes drastic steps of maturation (capping, polyadenylation, splicing, edition) before the decision is made to export it to the cytoplasm. That is where it enters the scope of this book. Once in the cytoplasm, many options are still open to it: its entrance into polysomes may be delayed (as it is in unfertilized eggs) or merely prohibited (ferritin mRNA in iron-starved cells), directed to specific locations within the cytoplasm or be more or less rapidly degraded. During gametogenesis and early development, translational control is probably the most significant level of gene expression.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52616803877137,"sku":"NLS9783642644207","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783642644207.jpg?v=1761528417"},{"product_id":"progress-in-molecular-and-subcellular-biology-book-j-r-bamburg-9783642692307","title":"Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52618169254161,"sku":"NLS9783642692307","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783642692307.jpg?v=1761532391"},{"product_id":"invertebrate-immunology-book-b-rinkevich-9783642797378","title":"Invertebrate Immunology","description":"The biological bases of invertebrate immune responses have interested scientists for decades, from the first relevant observation by E.

However, in the following years there was much controversy regarding the question: do invertebrates offer insight into the origin of the sophisticated immune responses of the vertebrates? There are several reasons why progress in research on invertebrate immune competence has been painfully slow. One of the main impediments to the progress, as compared to the fast development of knowledge in the vertebrate systems, was the fact that most of the studies concentrated on whole organism assays, mainly on grafting tissues between allogeneic partners. Only in the last few years have more and more aspects of invertebrate immunity been investigated on the cellular, biochemical and molecular levels. These studies led to discoveries of novel defense reactions, new pathways of effector mechanisms which are elicited after recognition of nonself', and complex, sometimes highly polymorphic genetic elements that control invertebrate immune reactions. The importance of invertebrate immunity for understanding immunology as a whole, despite the conflicting models and hypotheses, is now much more recognized than before. Although most of the 20 phyla belonging to the inver- tebrates have different modes of life, body organizations, habitats occupied, and biochemical patterns, they show striking aspects of exceptional precision for discriminating between self and nonself.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52622587789585,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52622588444945,"sku":"NLS9783642797378","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783642797378.jpg?v=1761606545"},{"product_id":"molecular-and-cellular-enzymology-book-p-jeanteur-9783642785832","title":"Molecular and Cellular Enzymology","description":"Proteins constitute the working-class molecules of the cell.

The new receptor era of mammalian endocrinology stimulated research on invertebrate hormone receptors, and sophisticated methods are applied also to determine hormones. The experiments demonstrated the existence and even similar function of these structures and signaling molecules. However, data on hormones and receptors at the lowest level of metazoan life and the highest level of protozoan life were not at our disposal. About two decades ago, first observations on the presence of hormone receptors reacting to vertebrate hormones in protozoa were made. Since the early 1980s we know that hormone-like molecules similar to those of higher vertebrates are present also in unicellular organisms. The presence of some second messengers in Tetrahymena was recognized. Since then, the research has been extended and many structures - previously believed to be solely vertebrate characteristics, such as opiate receptors, similar to mammalian ones - were found in unicellular organisms. These observations justified the assumption of a complete endocrine system at protozoan level, where - considering the unicellularit- this seemed to be not required.

Until now, no unequivocal phylogeny has been produced. Therefore, the questions remain: Did Metazoa evolve from the Protozoa only once, or several times? Is the origin of animals monophyletic or polyphyletic? Especially the relationships between the existing lower metazoan phyla, particularly the Porifera (sponges) are uncertain. Based on sequence data of genes typical for multicellularity it is demonstrated that all Metazoa, including Porifera, should be placed into the kingdom Animalia together with the Eumetazoa. Therefore it is most likely that all animals are of monophyletic origin.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52655676719377,"sku":"NLS9783642487477","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783642487477.jpg?v=1762221594"},{"product_id":"progress-in-molecular-and-subcellular-biology-book-s-bram-9783642662515","title":"Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52655859007761,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52655859335441,"sku":"NLS9783642662515","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783642662515.jpg?v=1762222369"},{"product_id":"progress-in-molecular-and-subcellular-biology-book-t-arpa-gabarro-9783642666285","title":"Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52656000237841,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52656000729361,"sku":"NLS9783642666285","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783642666285.jpg?v=1762222960"},{"product_id":"progress-in-molecular-and-subcellular-biology-3-book-robert-e-rhoads-9783642655807","title":"Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology 3","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52656188326161,"sku":"NLS9783642655807","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52932509171985,"sku":"NIN9783642655807","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783642655807.jpg?v=1762223461"},{"product_id":"biomedical-inorganic-polymers-book-heinz-schrder-9783662508305","title":"Biomedical Inorganic Polymers","description":"In recent years, inorganic polymers have attracted much attention in nano-biomedicine, in particular in the area of regenerative medicine and drug delivery. This growing interest in inorganic polymers has been further accelerated by the development of new synthetic and analytical methods in the field of nanotechnology and nanochemistry. Examples for biomedical inorganic polymers that had been proven to exhibit biomedical effects and\/or have been applied in preclinical or clinical trials are polysilicate \/ silica glass (such as naturally formed “biosilica” and synthetic “bioglass”) and inorganic polyphosphate. Some members of the mentioned biomedical inorganic polymers have already been applied e.g. as “bioglass” for bone repair and bone tissue engineering, or they are used in food processing and in dental care (inorganic polyphosphates). However, there are a number of further biological and medicinal properties of these polymers, which have been elucidated in the last few years but not yet been applied for treatment of humans. In addition to polysilicates and polyphosphate, there are a series of other inorganic polymers including polyarsenate and polyvanadate, whose biological \/ biomedical properties have been only marginally studied so far. Moreover, the combined application of inorganic polymers and organic polymeric molecules (formation of organic-inorganic hybrid materials) provides a variety of new materials with novel property combinations and diverse applications in nanomedicine. The planned book summarizes the present state of knowledge on a large group of inorganic polymers that had hitherto been mainly considered with regard to their chemistry but not comprehensively reviewed with respect to their potential biomedical applications.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52657598824721,"sku":"NLS9783662508305","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783662508305.jpg?v=1762229423"},{"product_id":"cytoskeleton-and-small-g-proteins-book-philippe-jeanteur-9783642636592","title":"Cytoskeleton and Small G Proteins","description":"Animal cells present an extreme variability in their shapes in relation to their physiological properties. For instance, fibroblastic cells are tightly attached to the extra-cellular matrix and display a flattened, spindle-shaped morphology. Neuronal cells self-organize as a network through a complex branching of dendrites and a long axonal extension. Resting peripheral blood lymphocytes are poorly adhesive and maintain a spherical, smooth shape, while macroph- ages produce many pseudopodal extensions involved in the recognition of foreign molecules. In addition to the variability of the morphology of the cells that constitute different organs, many cell types also modify dynamically their morphology in response to environmental changes, leading to differential cell motility, migration, adhesion, polarity or intercellular contacts. This wide plasticity of cell morphology is promoted and maintained by the cytoskeleton, which is composed of the three interconnected actin micro filaments, tubulin microtubules and intermediate filaments networks, all capable of assembly and disassembly. Over the past few years, the Rho family of Ras-like GTPases emerged as key proteins that mediate extracellular signalling pathways leading to the forma- tion of polymerized actin-containing structures such as ruffles, lamellipodia and filopodia. Since the discovery of the first member RhoA in 1985, 13 mem- bers have so far been characterized in human cells. Most of Rho proteins are highly conserved between species as distant as yeast, slime mold, insects and mammals, which points to their fundamental role in cellular physiology.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52661801779473,"sku":"NLS9783642636592","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783642636592.jpg?v=1762268051"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/progress-in-molecular-and-subcellular-biology-book-series.oembed?page=3","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
