Book Description
Comprehensive Overview of Advances in OlfactionThe common belief is that human smell perception is much reduced compared with other mammals, so that whatever abilities are uncovered and investigated in animal research would have little significance for humans. However, new evidence from a variety of sources indicates this traditional view is likely

Book Description
To build a functional nervous system, neurons must diversify properly, then migrate to their proper locations, establish polarity, extend axons and dendrites in the right directions, and synapse onto specific neuronal targets. When they are born, neurons have an unremarkable shape; as they develop, they acquire complex morphologies that reflect their functions. Here, genetics and microscopy were used to understand neuronal development in Caenorhabditis elegans . We investigated axon formation in the developing HSN motorneuron of C. elegans . The secreted guidance factor UNC-6/netrin and its receptor UNC-40/DCC induce polarized growth of the immature HSN neuron and restrict neurite formation to its ventral surface. Thus netrin defines the direction of polarized neurite outgrowth even before the formation of the axon. Two cytoplasmic proteins, UNC-34/Enabled and MIG-10/Lamellopodin, act as netrin effectors for polarization and ventral guidance. As the HSN axon forms, the PH-domain protein MIG-10 is transiently localized to the ventral side of HSN in a netrin-dependent manner. Neurons lacking either AGE-1/PI3K or DAF-18/PTEN fail to properly localize MIG-10, suggesting that localized lipid signaling downstream of netrin mediates an early step of axon formation.

ISBN: 047001069X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
This book features scientists from a broad spectrum of disciplines discussing recent data on aggression in laboratory animals with particular reference to possible implications for understanding human aggression. Chapters focus on the major current experimental issues in the study of aggression in humans and animals. The extensive discussions deal with specific problems of interpretation at the molecular level, as well as general issues relating to our understanding of human and animal aggression.
Molecular Biology of the Cell

Book Description
Escherichia coli, commonly referred to as E. coli, has been the organism of choice for molecular genetics for decades. Its machinery and mobile behavior is one of the most fascinating topics for cell scientists. Scientists and engineers, not trained in microbiology, and who would like to learn more about living machines, can see it as a unique example. This cross-disciplinary monograph covers more than thirty years of research and is accessible to graduate students and scientists alike.
