Cellular Signal Processing An Introduction to the Molecular Mechanisms of Signal Transduction

Cellular Signal Processing offers a unifying view of cell signaling based on the concept that protein interactions act as sophisticated data processing networks that govern intracellular and extracellular communication. It is intended for use in signal transduction courses for undergraduate and graduate students working in biology biochemistry bioinformatics and pharmacology as well as medical students. The text is organized by three key topics central to signal transduction: the protein network its energy supply and its evolution. It covers all important aspects of cell signaling ranging from prokaryotic signal transduction to neuronal signaling and also highlights the clinical aspects of cell signaling in health and disease. This new edition includes expanded coverage of prokaryotes as well as content on new developments in systems biology epigenetics redox signaling and small non-coding RNA signaling. | Cellular Signal Processing An Introduction to the Molecular Mechanisms of Signal Transduction

A First Course in Systems Biology

A First Course in Systems Biology is an introduction for advanced undergraduate and graduate students to the growing field of systems biology. Its main focus is the development of computational models and their applications to diverse biological systems. The book begins with the fundamentals of modeling then reviews features of the molecular inventories that bring biological systems to life and discusses case studies that represent some of the frontiers in systems biology and synthetic biology. In this way it provides the reader with a comprehensive background and access to methods for executing standard systems biology tasks understanding the modern literature and launching into specialized courses or projects that address biological questions using theoretical and computational means. New topics in this edition include: default modules for model design limit cycles and chaos parameter estimation in Excel model representations of gene regulation through transcription factors derivation of the Michaelis-Menten rate law from the original conceptual model different types of inhibition hysteresis a model of differentiation system adaptation to persistent signals nonlinear nullclines PBPK models and elementary modes. The format is a combination of instructional text and references to primary literature complemented by sets of small-scale exercises that enable hands-on experience and large-scale often open-ended questions for further reflection.

Biology of Aging

Biology of Aging Second Edition presents the biological principles that have led to a new understanding of the causes of aging and describes how these basic principles help one to understand the human experience of biological aging longevity and age-related disease. Intended for undergraduate biology students it describes how the rate of biological aging is measured; explores the mechanisms underlying cellular aging; discusses the genetic pathways that affect longevity in various organisms; outlines the normal age-related changes and the functional decline that occurs in physiological systems over the lifespan; and considers the implications of modulating the rate of aging and longevity. The book also includes end-of-chapter discussion questions to help students assess their knowledge of the material. Roger McDonald received his Ph. D. from the University of Southern California and is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Nutrition at the University of California Davis. Dr. McDonald’s research focused on mechanisms of cellular aging and the interaction between nutrition and aging. His research addressed two key topics in the field: the relationship between dietary restriction and lifespan and the effect of aging on circadian rhythms and hypothalamic regulation.

Plants People and Culture The Science of Ethnobotany

Is it possible that plants have shaped the very trajectory of human cultures? Using riveting stories of fieldwork in remote villages two of the world’s leading ethnobotanists argue that our past and our future are deeply intertwined with plants. Creating massive sea craft from plants indigenous shipwrights spurred the navigation of the world’s oceans. Today indigenous agricultural innovations continue to feed clothe and heal the world’s population. One out of four prescription drugs for example were discovered from plants used by traditional healers. Objects as common as baskets for winnowing or wooden boxes to store feathers were ornamented with traditional designs demonstrating the human ability to understand our environment and to perceive the cosmos. Throughout the world the human body has been used as the ultimate canvas for plant-based adornment as well as indelible design using tattoo inks. Plants also garnered religious significance both as offerings to the gods and as a doorway into the other world. Indigenous claims that plants themselves are sacred is leading to a startling reformulation of conservation. The authors argue that conservation goals can best be achieved by learning from rather than opposing indigenous peoples and their beliefs. KEY FEATURES • An engrossing narrative that invites the reader to personally engage with the relationship between plants people and culture • Full-color illustrations throughout—including many original photographs captured by the authors during fieldwork • New to this edition—Plants That Harm a chapter that examines the dangers of poisonous plants and the promise that their study holds for novel treatments for some of our most serious diseases including Alzheimer’s and substance addiction • Additional readings at the end of each chapter to encourage further exploration • Boxed features on selected topics that offer further insight • Provocative questions to facilitate group discussion Designed for the college classroom as well as for lay readers this update of Plants People and Culture entices the reader with firsthand stories of fieldwork spectacular illustrations and a deep respect for both indigenous peoples and the earth’s natural heritage. | Plants People and Culture The Science of Ethnobotany
