David L. Valentine

Georg Pabst, Norbert Kucˇerka, Mu-Ping Nieh, and John Katsaras

Human cells are protected from the ravages of aging by defensive systems including novel mechanisms against membrane oxidation introduced in this book. The book proposes a unified concept in which aging cells faced with declining energy production by mitochondria and the relatively high cost of protecting membranes against oxidation are triggered by energy stress to activate programmed cellular death. It includes case histories illustrating the duality of polyunsaturated membranes in aging and longevity. It also explains the relationship between membrane unsaturation and longevity leading to a unified concept of aging.

With contributions from leading researchers in their fields, this book describes state-of-the-art lipid/model membrane research, and industrial and medical applications, all in one volume.

Wolfgang Knoll

University of Virginia, Charlottesville, USA

Austrian Institute of Technology, Vienna

This book melds essays on biotechnology written by scientists into science fiction stories. It opens a conversation about the morality of what we may one day be, and what it may mean to be human as our biotechnological endeavors continue to evolve. The biotechnology “revolution,” launched on a global scale many decades ago, has taken a direct course toward re-creating life. Yet there are still many choices to be made in shaping the future that it may one day make possible. The book motivates readers toward deep reflection and continual discourse, which is essential if biotechnology is to evolve in ethical, meaningful, and sustainable ways.

It is still the very beginning of generating a better understanding of what is needed to make an organism tolerate implants, to guarantee the bidirectional communication between microelectronic devices and living tissue or to simply construct an interactive biocompatibility of surfaces in general. This book describes the design, synthesis, assembly and characterization, and the bio-(medical) application of interfacial layers on solid substrates with molecularly or supra-molecularly controlled architectures. Experts in the field describe their contributions that have been developed in recent years.

This book describes the newly discovered layer of biophotonics underlying all atomic chemistry and biochemistry. As with the variety of snowflakes, the range in biological species within flora for instance is dependent on this biophotonic layer of interaction within atomic and biomolecular structures. The book examines the phonon, the quantum of acoustic, or vibrational, energy and alongside the photon. Hence the ‘biophonon’ sits aside the biophoton as an element within biological structures. Sounds can create structure in the same way biophotons can use structure to communicate.

Nanoparticles have a physical dimension comparable to the size of molecular structures on the cell surface. Therefore, nanoparticles, compared to larger particles, such as micrometer particles, are considered to behave differently when they interact with cells. The book describes the sequence of events that airborne nanoparticles encounter in the lungs when they move from air to the bloodstream. This includes deposition, events occurring on the alveolar surface (including retention and clearance, interaction with surfactant and with alveolar lining fluid), crossing the air-blood tissue barrier, and finally getting into the bloodstream.

Quan Chen Series: Oxidative Stress and Disease

Mitochondria are among the most important of eukaryotic cell organelles, often referred to as the “powerhouse” of the cell, because of the role they play in providing energy for cellular function. This book synthesizes what is known mitochondrial dynamics, including the fusion and fission of mitochondria, mitophagy (the destruction of damaged mitochondria), and the role of mitochondrial dynamics in disease such as Parkinson’s disease and diabetes, among other topics. The volume is designed to appeal to molecular biologists, cell physiologists, and anyone interested in the role mitochondria play in cell physiological function.

This book presents recent findings on the role of oxidative stress in chronic diseases. Understanding the mechanisms behind it enables readers to comprehend the rationale which underlies intervention in such conditions. The book places special emphasis on genetic polymorphism—an important issue related to this field of study. It covers the role of oxidative stress in transmissible disorders as well as non-transmissible chronic conditions with chapters on metabolic diseases, autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer and cachexia. Each chapter covers a different disorder and the efficacy of interventional procedures.

Spasticity and Contractures in Clinical Practice and Research

Pathology of the Developing Mouse A Systematic Approach

Edited by

Anand D. Pandyan, Hermie J. Hermens, and Bernard A. Conway

Brad Bolon

Rehabilitation Science in Practice Series

This work combines coverage of both spasticity and contractures as these two phenomena are often closely interrelated. Current researchers do not differentiate between these individual impairments and, as a result, there is significant confusion in the literature. This book discusses both conditions and then separates them into their respective components. If these two conditions co-exist (which is generally the case), then the management of a patient will need to be customized to individual clinical presentation. This book covers this approach in detail. Print ISBN: 978-1-4665-6544-9 June 2015, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 400 pp. Suggested Price: $159.95 / £99.00
