Stem Cell Bioengineering
Author: Biju ParekkadanPublisher: Artech House
ISBN: 1596934034
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
In stem cell research there are several key methods that, once mastered, can be extremely powerful. These methods enable you to rigorously test hypotheses, compare results to "gold standards," and may even spur improvements to existing protocols. This book describes numerous methods to derive, manipulate, target, and prepare stem cells for clinical use. The methods described here help you derive and test human embryonic stem cells, analyze bone marrow stem cell function in vitro and in vivo, image a stem cell transplant, cryopreserve stem cells and differentiate stem cells using microscale tec.
Mechanisms of Insulin Action
Author: Alan R. SaltielPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387722041
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
More than 18 million people in the United States have diabetes mellitus, and about 90% of these have the type 2 form of the disease. This book attempts to dissect the complexity of the molecular mechanisms of insulin action with a special emphasis on those features of the system that are subject to alteration in type 2 diabetes and other insulin resistant states. It explores insulin action at the most basic levels, through complex systems.
Molecular Biology of B Cells
Author: Tasuku HonjoPublisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 9780123979339
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Molecular Biology of B Cells, Second Edition is a comprehensive reference to how B cells are generated, selected, activated and engaged in antibody production. All of these developmental and stimulatory processes are described in molecular, immunological, and genetic terms to give a clear understanding of complex phenotypes. Molecular Biology of B Cells, Second Edition offers an integrated view of all aspects of B cells to produce a normal immune response as a constant, and the molecular basis of numerous diseases due to B cell abnormality. The new edition continues its success with updated research on microRNAs in B cell development and immunity, new developments in understanding lymphoma biology, and therapeutic targeting of B cells for clinical application. With updated research and continued comprehensive coverage of all aspects of B cell biology, Molecular Biology of B Cells, Second Edition is the definitive resource, vital for researchers across molecular biology, immunology and genetics.
Transplantation, Bioengineering, and Regeneration of the Endocrine Pancreas

Languages : en
Pages : 560
Book Description
Transplantation, Bioengineering, and Regeneration of the Endocrine Pancreas, Volume 2, sets a new standard in transplant and regenerative medicine. The book details the state-of-the-art in modern islet auto-transplantation, also discussing current progress in regenerative medicine research in diabetes medicine. Regenerative medicine is changing the premise of solid organ transplantation, hence this volume catalogs technologies being developed and methods being implemented. Bioengineering and regenerating beta cells, clinical pancreas and islet transplantation, tissue engineering, biomaterial sciences, stem cell biology and developmental biology are all addressed and applied directly to diabetes medicine. Provides comprehensive and cutting-edge knowledge of whole pancreas and islet transplantation Addresses imaging, treatment, scaffold technology, the use of stem cells to generate insulin, 3D printing, and more Offers an update on the progress of regenerative medicine research aimed at beta cell replacement for the treatment of diabetes

Author: Signaling Mechanisms Regulating T Cell Diversity and Function
Author: Jonathan SoboloffPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 149870509X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
T cells play a vital role mediating adaptive immunity, a specific acquired resistance to an infectious agent produced by the introduction of an antigen. There are a variety of T cell types with different functions. They are called T cells, because they are derived from the thymus gland. This volume discusses how T cells are regulated through the operation of signaling mechanisms. Topics covered include positive and negative selection, early events in T cell receptor engagement, and various T cell subsets.
