Adult Stem Cells: Biology and Methods of Analysis

EBook Description: Biology, Medicine, English : Adult Stem Cells: Biology and Methods of Analysis Author: Rasty | 20-02-2011, 03:03 | Views: 340 Adult Stem Cells: Biology and Methods of Analysis Donald G. Phinney, "Adult Stem Cells: Biology and Methods of Analysis" Hum ana Pr ess | 2011 | ISBN: 161779001X | 279 pages | PDF | 5,3 MB This is comprehensive overview of a vital area of scientific enquiry, which covers a broad spectrum of issues. With contributions from some of the key researchers in the field, Adult Stem Cells: Biology and Methods of Analysis offers readers a historical perspective as well as unique insights into cutting-edge thoughts. The volume contextualizes the recent discovery of stem/progenitor cell populations resident in many adult tissues and organs. It confronts the complexities scientists face in trying to validate these cells, while it also describes and critically evaluates the methods currently used to assess stem cell self-renewal. The chapters also seek to distinguish this process from other aspects of cell survival, such as the regulation of life span, senescence, and immortalization at a molecular level.

In most habitats, adaptations are the single most obvious aspects of an organism�s phenotype. However, the most obvious feature of many subterranean animals are losses, not adaptations. Even Darwin saw subterranean animals as degenerates: examples of eyelessness and loss of structure in general. For him, the explanation was a straightforward Lamarckian one, and one that did not involve adaptation and the struggle of existence. This volume is a comprehensive account of all known species of subterranean fishes. It includes an extensive introduction, history of investigations, consideration of non-stygobitic fishes in caves, and detailed analysis of the conservation status of these very rare animals

Board Review Series Cell Biology and Histology

Doody's Book Review Service, Bruce A. Fenderson, PhD, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA -- "This book provides a study guide for students taking cell biology/histology courses and serves as an excellent review for medical licensing examinations. The 21 chapters cover topics ranging from cytoplasm and organelles to urinary system in an abbreviated outline format. Clinical correlations and practice questions with explanations are included in each chapter...The book is written primarily for first and second-year medical students who are learning microscopic anatomy/cell biology and preparing for the USMLE Step 1... "A comprehensive examination is included at the end of the book. This updated edition offers online access to numerous full-color illustrations and tables, including new online photomicrographs. Bonus questions and color images are also provided online. The authors are outstanding medical educators and researchers. "This review book provides an excellent study guide for histology and cell biology. The illustrations and tables are helpful and informative. The authors emphasize key words and organize key concepts. The clinical considerations are excellent and help advanced students integrate information learned in pathology...This book will capture the attention of medical students and allied health professionals interested in self-assessment and a formatted approach to board review."-Doody's Book Review Service (Weighted Numerical Score: 90, 4 Stars) 15-OCT-2008 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Dictionary of Medicine and Biology

Dictionaries are didactic books used as consultation instruments for self-teaching. They are composed by an ordered set of linguistic units which reflects a double structure, the macrostructure which correspond to the word list and the microstructure that refers to the contents of each lemma. The great value of dictionaries nests in the fact that they establish a standard nomenclature and prevent in that way the appearance of new useless synonyms.
This dictionary contains a total of about 27.500 main English entries, and over of 130.000 translations that should normally sufficiently cover all fields of life sciences. The basic criteria used to accept a word a part of the dictionary during the development period in order of importance were usage, up-to-dateness, specificity, simplicity and conceptual relationships. The dictionary meets the standards of higher education and covers all main fields of life sciences by setting its primary focus on the vastly developing fields of cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, developmental biology, microbiology, genetics and also the fields of human anatomy, histology, pathology, physiology, zoology and botany
