Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This work which was published to mark the tenth anniversary of the collaboration between the Institut Pasteur and the Riken Institute in Japan, covers a number of research fields in which both laboratories are active: precocious development in mice and the effect on them of disactivating genes, nuclear oncogenes and their role in controlling cell division, and the molecular bases of bacterial and viral infections. There are also chapters dealing with specific aspects of immune recognition, the genetics of sexual determination in humans and a new technique for studying the human genome. This book is intended for researchers and physicians in the fields of immunology, genetics, bacteriology/virology, cancerology, developmental biology, cellular biology and neurobiology.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The immune system plays an essential part to maintaining the homeostasis of the organism. It is responsible for tolerance towards self antigens and for recognition and elimination of infectious invaders and cancer cells. Immunomodulating agents constitute a wide family of therapeutic products for the treatment and prevention of human disease and pathophysiological situations with immunological imbalances. This Forum on immunomodulators represents a selection of important examples of immunomodulating agents readily usable in human therapy. Several potential applications of cytokines as well as synthetic products are also presented.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book is a review of studies on the physiopharmacology of the peripheral fibres involved in nociception. It examines the substances that are directly or indirectly capable of modifying the activity of these fibres, paying special attention to the part played by physicochemical factors and the sympathetic nervous system. Drawing on the conclusions of eminent pharmacologists, the book not only considers fundamental aspects of the problem but also suggests approaches for research into developing new analgesic molecules. It will be of interest to researchers, pharmacologists, physiologists, physicians and the pharmaceutical industry.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Our knowledge of the brain and its structures -- such as the thalamus, hypothalamus and cortex -- has made great strides over the past 15 years. As in other fields, this progress has been due to studies based on a multidisciplinary approach combining modern and traditional investigative methods. The new knowledge has highlighted the part played by some fundamental structures in pain processing. This book reviews the data that has been acquired and the new perspectives it has opened up for studying how the brain processes pain, in both humans and animals. For neurologists, neurobiologists and neurosurgeons.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This valuable reference work provides a synthesis of the latest knowledge about the acrosomatic reaction of human sperm. The acrosomatic reaction, which is a fundamental step in the process of fertilisation, is examined on both the fundamental and clinical levels. Three very recent aspects are also dealt with: what happens to the acrosome during intracytoplasmic microinjections, the usefulness of screening spermatozoa that have completed their acrosomatic reaction, and the development of contraception by a vaccine that targets one of the proteins of the acrosome. International Symposium, Collioure, France, September 1995.…
