Charred, badly decomposed, or mummified corpses, and restrictions found in conservative branches of some religions often make autopsies impossible to perform. In addition, backlogs at the coroner’s office can create situations where the personnel required to do the autopsies cannot keep up with the cases. The techniques shown in this color atlas provide methods for performing autopsies that are more efficient and minimally invasive. These procedures utilize state-ofthe-art imaging technologies that uncover information that would be otherwise unattainable. Approximately 600 photographs provide visual instruction that takes readers from external body documentation to internal investigation.

Applications of Proteomics to Cell Signaling
What’s New About Crop Plants
Edited by

Novel Discoveries of the 21st Century U. S. Gupta
Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico, USA Methods in Signal Transduction Series
Until recently, breeding efforts in mass produced food crops centered on high yield production, yet sacrificed flavor, taste, and other qualities. Now, more emphasis is being placed on the enhancement of nutritional and medicinal properties as well as from an environmental impact and sustainability standpoint. This volume looks at the use of crops for a myriad of purposes, including the prevention and/or mitigation of various diseases, vaccine and antigen production, biofuel production, and the suppression of weeds.
The field of proteomics has had a tremendous impact on our understanding of biological systems. While proteomics encompasses multiple approaches, the application of mass spectrometry-based techniques has generated large, information-rich data sets that have enabled a much clearer understanding of areas such as cell signaling. For example, protein post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation are critically involved in signal transduction in almost all biological systems; much progress has been made to identify these protein alterations during signal transduction. This book focuses specifically on the application of these approaches to understanding signaling in biological systems.

Regenerative Medicine, Stem Cells and the Liver David C. Hay MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine, University of Edinburgh, UK
The regenerative capacity of the liver has been recognized for centuries, but when it is overwhelmed by insulting stimuli or is chronically damaged, its regenerative capability is substantially reduced or lost. Researchers have been working to find solutions to cure failing human liver function. Given the ability of stem cells to self-renew and differentiate into specialized cell liver types, they represent an attractive strategy to replace lost liver function. This book begins by outlining the complex nature of human liver disease and proceeds to examine the potential that stem cell-based approaches have to offer. Catalog no.

R. K. Gaur, Yedidya Gafni, P. Sharma, and V. K. Gupta
Christine E. Pullar Exploring their role in the physiology of development and wound repair and pathophysiologies such as cancer, this book describes the importance of biological electric fields and their use as tools to influence tissue repair and regeneration. It also discusses the role of bioelectricity in cancer progression and the potential for bioelectricity-based therapies to target both the tumor and metastatic cancer cells. It demonstrates the role of bioelectricity in the directionality and speed of cell migration, proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and orientation.
RNAi technology is used for large-scale screens that systematically shut down each gene in the cell, which can help identify the components necessary for a particular cellular process or an event such as cell division. Exploitation of the pathway is also a promising tool in biotechnology and medicine. Introducing new technology in the study of RNA interference in microorganisms, plants, and animals, this book reviews the selective and robust effect of RNAi on gene expression. This process is essential both in cell culture and in living organisms because synthetic dsRNA introduced into cells can induce suppression of specific genes of interest.

Of all vertebrates, fish exhibit unparalleled diversity of sexual plasticity and flexibility, ranging from gonochorism to unisexualism, and exceptional patterns of functional hermaphroditism. Fish farming and monosex aquaculture have led to reproductive dysfunction with males producing less milt, and females failing to ovulate and spawn. This book brings together relevant information on the role of the endocrine system on sexual differentiation in fish and bridges the gap between molecular endocrinologists and fishery scientists.

Robert Kent Trench
A comprehensive study of sex differentiation gonochoric and hermaphroditic fishes, this book examines sex chromosomes and sex determining genes, emphasizing the need to search for more than one sex-determining gene residing on different chromosomes. It traces the origin of hermaphrodites from secondary gonochores and explains the conservation of homologous sex differentiation and steroid receptor genes among gonochores and hermaphrodites. The author identifies the optimal broodstock size and the appropriate candidate species for bait. He shows that the analysis of steriles and mutants has demonstrated the value of fishes as a system for genetic dissection of human development and diseases.
This book describes innovative new technologies for restoring the most productive ecosystems in the sea while maintaining high biodiversity. It presents for the first time data showing the dramatic results of these methods. The technologies are a quantum leap beyond current methods in effectiveness at restoring the biological productivity and services of ecosystems that maintain global atmospheric composition, climate, fisheries, beaches, and fresh water supplies. The book is a valuable guide to maintaining ecosystem functioning under conditions that would otherwise kill most of the key organisms living in them.
