This volume systematically reviews the basic science and clinical knowledge of the role of free radicals and antioxidants, collectively known as “oxidative stress,” in the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease.
Imaging and Tracking Stem Cells: Methods and Protocols gathers representative protocols related to the vital techniques of stem cell imaging and lineage tracing, including that of live cells, both in vivo and in vitro.
This Methods in Molecular Biology book offers in vitro and in vivo protocols on mutation assays, cytogenetic techniques, primary DNA damage, alternate assays to animal models and updated ICH guidelines. Includes material lists, troubleshooting tips and more.
Investigations involving incisive mechanistic dissection of various types of synaptic plasticity have revealed that it plays key roles in neural development, sensory information processing, cortical remapping following brain injury, perception, and behavioral learning and memory.
Unique among bacteria, they include species possessing cells with intracellular membrane-bounded compartments and a peptidoglycan-less cell wall, and bacteria such as the anammox organisms performing unique anaerobic ammonium oxidation significant for global nitrogen cycle.
This book details current trends and state-of-the-art in cell and gene based therapies. Examples from various organs and diseases illustrate the potential benefit obtained when both therapeutic approaches are combined with delivery strategies.
This Methods in Molecular Biology(TM) book covers knowledge dissemination and theoretical assessment of OR structure and function, plus development and use of expression systems and experimental functional analysis. Offers reproducible protocols, tips and more.
Covering the processes and potential of biosensors that can be implanted in the central nervous system for neurotransmitter detection, this book offers practical advice on technique, as well as insight on improved approaches and the advances they might bring.
This book describes the methodologies and approaches in systems metabolic engineering and provides a step-by-step guide for their implementation. Includes readily reproducible laboratory protocols and tips on troubleshooting.
Thorough, current and thoughtfully organized, this ideal guide is supplemented by 75 tables and 16 figures as well as numerous references from recent literature, which are appended to each chapter. Includes nanobiology, biotech-based services and more.
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
