Since its first discovery in the early 90’s, the NF-kB/Rel transcription factor family has drawn the attention of experimental biologists, medical profession, and biotech/pharmaceutical industries for its broad and diverse roles in all aspects of human biology and disease.

Hox Gene Expression starts with the amazing discovery of the homeobox twenty-three years ago and follows the exciting path thereafter of a series of breakthroughs in Genetics, Development and Evolution.

Nuclear Import and Export in Plants and Animals provides insight into the remarkable mechanisms of nuclear import and export. This book covers a range of topics from the nuclear pore structure, to nuclear import and export of macromolecules in plant and animal cells.

Selective Sweep deals with the theory and practice of detection of recent adaptive evolution at the genomic level from the patterns of DNA polymorphism. Recent advances in genomic sequencing provide the background for analysis of polymorphic sites in large chromosomal regions or even in whole genome,…

In the concluding chapter of his famous book on the theory of evolution by natural selection, Charles Darwin (1859) remarked that: When the views entertained in this volume on the origin of species, or when analogous views are generally admitted…

Fourteen contributions address major themes in the field of collagenases, including an introduction to the structural characteristics of these enzymes and coverage of collagenases 1, 2, and 3; transcriptional regulation of these genes; methods of activation; interference with the activities of these enzymes for pharmacologic benefit; the role of co

Branching morphogenesis, the creation of branched structures in the body, is a key feature of animal and plant development. This book brings together, for the first time, expert researchers working on a variety of branching systems to present a state-of-the-art view of the mechanisms that control branching morphogenesis.
