Dopamine, a catecholamine transmitter, plays a number of vital physiological roles in the brain and body, and, in recent years, studies on the role of dopamine in disease have opened new avenues of research and discovery.
Although the available models, whether at the cellular, tissue, or animal level, do not exactly represent the biology of human brain tumors, animal models can offer... Læs mere
This book collects the latest research mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which appear to hold great promise in the quest to develop regenerative cell-based therapy. Conveys a clear understanding of current progress in translation of MSCs from bench to bedside.
This Methods in Molecular Biology(TM) book offers core techniques and approaches commonly used in studying rice molecular biology and functional genomics. Includes protocols, materials lists, troubleshooting tips and advice on avoiding common pitfalls.
The basic principle of electron crystallography is to calculate a 3D density map by combining the amplitudes obtained from electron diffraction patterns with the experimental phases calculated from images of two-dimensional crystals of membrane or soluble proteins.
The reader is then introduced to how mtDNA is transmitted through the oocyte and how stem cells can be used to study mitochondrial biogenesis and... Læs mere
