Hyunjoon Kong and Lawrence B. Schook University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign, USA

Andrew J. Putnam University of California - Irvine, USA

In the last few decades, significant advancements in the biology and engineering of stem cells have enabled progress in their clinical application to revascularization therapies. Some strategies involve the mobilization of endogenous stem cell populations, and others employ cell transplantation. However, both techniques have benefited from multidisciplinary efforts to create biomaterials and other biomedical tools that can improve and control the fate of stem cells, and advance our understanding of them. Focusing on the fundamentals and applied studies in stem cell biology, this book provides perspectives associated with the development of revascularization strategies. To help readers understand the multidisciplinary issues associated with this topic, this book has been divided into four sections: • Section 1: Explores how to define, isolate, and characterize various stem and progenitor cell populations for neovascularization • Section 2: Summarizes some especially useful model systems and approaches used to regulate angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, and arteriogenesis, and explores their impact on formation of functional vessels in vivo • Section 3: Focuses on stem cell homing to sites of injury and inflammation, as well as strategies to exploit this mobilization phenomenon • Section 4: Covers stem cell transplantation topics, including recreating features of endogenous stem cell niches to maintain the multipotency of transplanted cells and combinatorial delivery of cells and molecular factors

Industrial Applications of Molecular Simulations Edited by

Marc Meunier Accelrys, Cambridge, UK

The field of quantum and molecular simulations has experienced strong growth since the time of the early software packages. A recent study showed a large increase in the number of people publishing papers based on ab initio methods from about 3,000 in 1991 to roughly 20,000 in 2009, with particularly strong growth in East Asia. Looking to the future, the question remains as to how these methods can be further integrated into the R&D value chain, bridging the gap from engineering to manufacturing. Using successful case studies as a framework, Industrial Applications of Molecular Simulations demonstrates the capability of molecular modeling to tackle problems of industrial relevance. This book presents a wide range of various modeling techniques, including methods based on quantum or classical mechanics, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulations, etc. It also explores a wide range of materials, from soft materials such as polymeric blends widely used in the chemical industry to hard or inorganic materials such as glasses and alumina.

Boris I. Kharisov, Oxana Vasilievna Kharissova, and Ubaldo Ortiz-Mendez

Wonbong Choi

Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon, Mexico

The National Program of Tera-level Nano Devices, Seoul, South Korea

When the area of nanotechnology developed as an independent field in the frontiers of physics, chemistry, materials chemistry and physics, medicine, biology, and other disciplines decades ago, terms such as “nanoparticle,” “nanopowder,” “nanotube,” and “nanoplate,” and other terms related to shape (“nanoflowers,” “nanorices,” “nanolines,” “nanotowers,” and more) rapidly became very common. Since any novel nanostructure could, theoretically, have useful applications, each new achievement is welcome.

Series: Nanomaterials and their Applications

In an effort to organize the field, the Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures presents a non-formal classification based mainly on the less-common nanostructures. A small nanotechnological encyclopedia, this book: • Describes a range of little-known nanostructures • Offers a unifying vision of the synthesis of nanostructures and the generalization of rare nanoforms • Includes a CD-ROM with color versions of more than 100 nanostructures • Explores the fabrication of rare nanostructures, including modern physical, chemical, and biological synthesis techniques The Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures discusses a non-formal classification not directly related with dimensionality and chemical composition of nanostructure-forming compound or composite and is based mainly on the less-common nanostructures. Possessing unusual shapes and high surface area, these structures are potentially very useful for catalytic, medical, electronic, and many other applications. Catalog no.

Natural Product Chemistry Anticancer Agents from Natural Products Second Edition Edited by

Gordon M. Cragg and David J. Newman National Cancer Institute, Frederick, Maryland, USA

David G.I. Kingston Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, Blacksburg, USA

The approach to drug discovery from natural sources has yielded many important new pharmaceuticals inaccessible by other routes. In many cases the isolated natural product may not be an effective drug for any of several reasons, but it nevertheless may become a drug through chemical modification or have a novel pharmacophore for future drug design. In summarizing the status of natural products as cancer chemotherapeutics, Anticancer Agents from Natural Products, Second Edition covers the: • History of each covered drug—a discussion of its mechanism on action, medicinal chemistry, synthesis, and clinical applications • Potential for novel drug discovery through the use of genome mining as well as future developments in anticancer drug discovery • Important biosynthetic approaches to "unnatural" natural products This book discusses how complex target-oriented synthesis—enabled by historic advances in methodology—has enormously expanded the scope of the possible. It covers the current clinically used anticancer agents that are either natural products or are clearly derived from natural product leads. It also reviews drug candidates currently in clinical development since many of these will be clinically used drugs in the future. Examples include the drugs etoposide and teniposide derived from the lead compound podophyllotoxin; numerous analogs derived from taxol; topotecan, derived from camptothecin; and the synthetic clinical candidates, E7389 and HTI-286, developed from the marine leads, halichondrin B and hemiasterlin.

Every Molecule Tells a Story Simon Cotton Uppingham School, Rutland, UK University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, UK

"…in the science section of bookstores (those that have one) the shelves are stacked with books on origins of the universe and on dinosaurs (and biological evolution) physics, biology and geology, and never a chemistryrelated book in sight. The bizarre aspect of this bias is that we can go about our daily lives without the need to contemplate the Big Bang hypothesis or the complexities of Darwinian evolution, but we do have to think about choices involving food & vitamins, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, together with news reports of atmospheric change, clean water, toxic chemicals, and so on." —Geoff Rayner-Canham, Memorial University of Newfoundland

"Simon is eminently qualified to write this book. He knows exactly how to reach the target audience and I have been reading, and collecting, his articles for many years. He writes in a highly readable style with a lightness of touch which the subject demands if it is to attract and hold a wider audience. He writes successfully both as a qualified chemist and as a populariser." —John Emsley, University of Cambridge

"The rampant and pervasive irrational fear of chemicals – 'Chemophobia' in our society needs to cured, impossible as it may be, and Cotton's book will go a long way to eradicate this disease." —Gordon W. Gribble, Dartmouth College

"Simon Cotton has that rare ability of making chemistry understandable and fascinating by combining intriguing scientific information and relevant human interest." —John Emsley, University of Cambridge

Molecular Manipulation with Atomic Force Microscopy Edited by

Anne-Sophie Duwez and Nicolas Willet

Spectroscopic Techniques and Hindered Molecular Motion Ferid Bashirov

University of Liege, Belgium

Kazan Federal University, Russia

The manipulation of single molecules is still in its infancy but significant breakthroughs have been made in chemistry, biology, physics, engineering, and polymer science. This book presents a series of topics that discuss concepts and methodologies used to manipulate and study single (bio)molecules with atomic force microscopy (AFM). The first part is dedicated to the pulling of single molecules with force spectroscopy to investigate molecular interactions, mechanics, and mechanochemical processes. The second addresses the manipulation, repositioning, and targeted delivery of single molecules on substrates.

The theory of hindered motions of small molecules and molecular fragments in crystals and liquids allows one to obtain detailed knowledge of both the crystal structure and the dynamical behavior of molecules. Application of the theory to describe such phenomena as NMR relaxation rates and spectral line broadening expands the power of many spectroscopy techniques. The author compares this theoretical approach with recent experimental results. Specific topics covered include the extended angular jump model, angular autocorrelation functions, dielectric, optical and neutron scattering spectroscopy applications, and nuclear magnetic resonance spin-lattice relaxation applications.
