[share_ebook] Cell Cell Channels (molecular Biology Intelligence Unit)

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. Systems considered range from single cells, to blood vessel and drainage duct systems to entire body plans, and approaches range from observation through experiment to detailed biophysical modelling. The result is an integrated overview of branching.

Intermediate Filaments focuses on desmin and other intermediate filaments in disease and health…

This book develops the theory of continuous and discrete stochastic processes within the context of cell biology. In the second edition the material has been significantly expanded, particularly within the context of nonequilibrium and self-organizing systems. Given the amount of additional material, the book has been divided into two volumes, with volume I mainly covering molecular processes and volume II focusing on cellular processes.

“Because we enjoy interacting with biology under- grads and think that they should have biology textbooks that are clearly written, make the subject matter relevant to the reader, and help them appreciate not only how much we already know about biology—cell biology, in our case—but also how much more remains to be investigated and discovered.”
