Membrane Biogenesis
Author: Jos A.F. Op den Kamp
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642731848
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
Many individual aspects of the dynamics and assembly of biological membranes have been studied in great detail. Cell biological approaches, advanced genetics, biophysics and biochemistry have greatly contributed to an increase in our knowledge in this field.lt is obvious however, that the three major membrane constituents - lipids, proteins and carbohydrates- are studied, in most cases separately and that a coherent overview of the various aspects of membrane biogenesis is not readily available. The NATO Advanced Study Institute on "New Perspectives in the Dynamics of Assembly of Biomembranes" intended to provide such an overview: it was set up to teach students and specialists the achievements obtained in the various research areas and to try and integrate the numerous aspects of membrane assembly into a coherent framework. The articles in here reflect this. Statting with detailed contributions on phospholipid structure, dynamics, organization and biogenesis, an up to date overview of the basic, lipidic backbone of biomembranes is given. Extensive progress is made in the research on membrane protein biosynthesis. In particular the post- and co-translational modification processes of proteins, the mechanisms of protein translocation and the sorting mechanisms which are necessary to direct proteins to their final, intra - or extracellular destination have been characterized in detail. Modern genetic approaches were indispensable in this research area: gene cloning, hybrid protein construction, site directed mutagenesis and sequencing techniques elucidated many functional aspects of specific nucleic acid and amino acid sequences.

Plant Programmed Cell Death
Author: Arunika N. Gunawardena
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319210335
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a genetically encoded, active process which results in the death of individual cells, tissues, or whole organs. PCD plays an essential role in plant development and defense, and occurs throughout a plant’s lifecycle from the death of the embryonic suspensor to leaf and floral organ senescence. In plant biology, PCD is a relatively new research area, however, as its fundamental importance is further recognized, publications in the area are beginning to increase significantly. The field currently has few foundational reference books and there is a critical need for books that summarizes recent findings in this important area. This book contains chapters written by several of the world’s leading researchers in PCD. This book will be invaluable for PhD or graduate students, or for scientists and researchers entering the field. Established researchers will also find this timely work useful as an up-to-date overview of this fascinating research area.

Unraveled

ISBN: 9780615548463
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
In this collection, Unraveled, Emily Regan has spanned the generations, from the very young to the very old, to present characters in the midst of loss. Again and again, her characters' tethers are coming loose, and even breaking, sending some adrift, while others try to find their grasp once more. The losses in some of these stories are devastating because they mostly deal with a loved one's leaving, either intentionally or unintentionally. In our time, to lose something is nothing new: a job, a foreclosed house, or a repossessed car. But Regan delves into how the psyche responds to the real emotional extremes of loss. The death of a loved one is life changing. But when a character simply leaves out of selfishness or self-preservation, abandoning a child out in the yard on a swing set, the ramification can be life destroying.Some of these stories I've read in earlier incarnations and some are new to me, as they will be to the fortunate readers of this collection. "Squirrels" shows a widow becoming undone, heralding the end of her freedom of living alone. Her longing for her dead husband has driven her to attack, in funny and crazed ways, an unseen army of squirrels. She is convinced the squirrels want her out of her house. But her real evictor, her daughter, is more difficult to conquer. In "Visiting Day" we witness a vital elderly woman, who is strong and confident at the start, lose her way. All because the old sometimes have a way of reverting to acting like school children, and the simple action of sitting down at a table can have debilitating consequences. "Mirror, Mirror" is a nice reboot of a fairy tale, but there is no happily ever after for Mariella. The flash fiction, "Five", is one of my favorites in this collection. Regan is pitch-perfect in showing, through actions and dialogue, this emotional moment. A young child's birthday is set aside because of a down deep hurt. And more escapes ensue.In the longest piece in this collection, "Loose Threads", Anne navigates through the coming apart of her family after the death of her brother. Addictions sever the many ties between characters throughout this novella: from drugs, to abusive relationships, to victimization. In the end, though, there comes finally a kind of redemption by way of a baby's birth. Anne is reconnecting with a tether that may bring her back to where she deserves to be.This is Emily Regan's first book. And I'm certain it will not be her last. She has done something here that calls for attention. She has opened familiar wounds that we need to consider, but will not be able to readily heal. And, as many of us may admit, sometimes running away from what hurts us seems the easiest way out. Although, I must acknowledge that Regan, once a student of mine, is now instructing me with her wonderful writing and vivid characters that easiest may work for a moment, but the many moments, days, weeks, and years that follow tend to have a way of making life more and more difficult. Good writing, in my opinion, should present this outcome, and Emily Regan is a very good writer.-- Dan Crawley (from the Preface)
