Biochemistry Stem Cells and Revascularization Therapies Edited by
Hyunjoon Kong and Lawrence B. Schook
University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign, USA
Andrew J. Putnam
University of California - Irvine, USA Series: Biotechnology and Bioprocessing
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. Stem Cells and Revascularization Therapies focuses on the fundamentals and applied studies in stem cell biology, and 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 Intended to inspire new contributions to improve the therapeutic efficacy, Stem Cells and Revascularization Therapies outlines emergent findings and challenges regarding the use of stem cells in revascularization therapies. Overcoming the significant hurdles to our understanding of stem cell biology will enhance their utility in promoting new blood vessel formation. Catalog no.

Materials Chemistry Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures Boris I. Kharisov, Oxana Vasilievna Kharissova, and Ubaldo Ortiz-Mendez
Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon, Mexico
As nanotechnology has developed over the last two decades, some nanostructures, such as nanotubes, nanowires, and nanoparticles, have become very popular. However, recent research has led to the discovery of other, less-common nanoforms, which often serve as building blocks for more complex structures. In an effort to organize the field, the Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures presents an informal classification based mainly on the lesscommon 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 classification system not directly related to the dimensionality and chemical composition of nanostructure-forming compounds or composite. Instead, it is based mainly on the lesscommon nanostructures. Possessing unusual shapes and high surface areas, these structures are potentially very useful for catalytic, medical, electronic, and many other applications. Selected Contents: Introduction. Methods Used for Production Of Nanostructures: Physico-chemical Techniques. Chemical Synthesis Methods. Biological Methods. Brief Description of Some Classic Nanostructures: Carbon-Based Nanostructures. Other Conventional Nanostructures. LessCommon Nanostructures: Simple Linear 2-D and 3-D Nanostructures.

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:
• 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 Anticancer Agents from Natural Products, Second Edition discusses how complex targetoriented synthesis—enabled by historic advances in methodology—has enormously expanded the scope of the possible. This book 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. Catalog no.

Stimulated by the increasing importance of chiral molecules as pharmaceuticals and the need for enantiomerically pure drugs, techniques in chiral chemistry have been expanded and refined, especially in the areas of chromatography, asymmetric synthesis, and spectroscopic methods for chiral molecule structural characterization. In addition to synthetic chiral molecules, naturally occurring molecules, which are invariably chiral and generally enantiomerically enriched, are of potential interest as leads for new drugs. VCD Spectroscopy for Organic Chemists discusses the applications of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy to the structural characterization of chiral organic molecules. The book provides all of the information about VCD spectroscopy that an organic chemist needs in order to make use of the technique. The authors, experts responsible for much of the existing literature in this field, discuss the experimental measurement of VCD and the theoretical prediction of VCD. In addition, they evaluate the advantages and limitations of the technique in determining molecular structure. Given the availability of commercial VCD instrumentation and quantum chemistry software, it became possible in the late 1990s for chemists to use VCD in elucidating the stereochemistries of chiral organic molecules. This book helps organic chemists become more aware of the utility of VCD spectroscopy and provides them with sufficient knowledge to incorporate the technique into their own research. Catalog no.

Useful in the study of pharmaceutical products and biological molecules, polarization IR spectroscopy has undergone continuous development since it first emerged almost 100 years ago. Capturing the state of the science, this volume demonstrates how the technique can be used to obtain important information about the structure and spectral properties of oriented compounds. Topics discussed include the theoretical basis of linear-dichroic infrared (IR-LD) spectroscopy, the orientation method of colloid suspensions in a nematic host, the structural elucidation of inorganic and organic compounds and glasses, and applications in pharmaceutical analysis and the chemistry of dyes. Catalog no. K11223, October 2011, 240 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4398-2559-4, $129.95 / £82.00 Also available as eBook
Spectroscopic Techniques and Hindered Molecular Motion
Edited by
Anne-Sophie Duwez and Nicolas Willet University of Liege, Belgium
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. New and experienced researchers will find a wealth of information in this informative volume, which demonstrates the potential of AFMs beyond imaging. Catalog no. K10483, December 2011, 287 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4398-0966-2, $149.95 / £95.00 Also available as eBook

Linearly Polarized IR Spectroscopy
Ferid Bashirov
Kazan Federal University, Russia
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. Catalog no. K13247, October 2011, 161 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4398-7083-9, $99.95 / £63.99 Also available as eBook
