A winning formula now for over 15 years, each series volume has been fine-tuned and fully updated, with an improved layout tailored to make your life easier. Specially written by senior medical students or recent graduates - those who have just been in the exam situation - with all information thoroughly checked and quality assured by expert faculty advisors, the result is books which exactly meet your needs and you know you can trust.
The subject of cell biology and genetics has never been more essential to the medical curriculum and to modern medicine - yet is widely feared by students. This fully revised edition aims to make it as easy to understand and remember as possible, to ensure a solid grounding in the essential underlying principles and how they relate to clinical practice. It incorporates the latest developments in this fascinating and fast-moving field - including the human genome project and spin-offs such as the thousand genome project - as well as discussion of important ethical issues. Emerging molecular tools and laboratory techniques are explained so that you can appreciate where new treatments for genetic disease and screening technologies have arisen. An updated self-assessment section matching the latest exam formats then allows you to assess your progress and test your performance.

Описание: This book, for the first time, comprehensively assembles and analyzes a large body of information on the role of the fundamental mechanism of the protein biosynthesis pathway, translation, in cancer biology. It systematically explores the function of the translation machinery and its regulation, including cell signaling, in the development, maintenance and progression of human cancer. The work presented here unveils the tremendous potential and applications of this vast and exciting branch of genetic, biochemical and molecular science in cancer medicine and drug development. Chapters contributed by experts in the field take the reader on a journey that starts with a dissection of the translation machinery and its regulation in norm and cancer. Later chapters characterize etiological and pathogenetic roles that translation plays in specific cancer types. Various aspects of diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic significance of the translation machinery and its control in cancer are discussed. Readers will discover the importance of the process of translation and its regulatory mechanisms in physiology and cancer biology. The chapters and the numerous illustrations included here were contributed by expert scientists and clinicians from renowned academic and clinical establishments in Canada, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Belgium, Spain, Germany and Australia. The book conveys information and knowledge that may interest a broad range of students and scholars ranging from basic scientists to clinicians and drug developers seeking to better understand the protein synthesis and its aberrations in cancer biology and cancer medicine.

Описание: The articles in the present volume are by major contributors to our under- standing of signaling pathways affecting protein synthesis. Since amino acids serve as precursors for proteins, one might expect that with- holding an essential amino acid would inhibit the elongation phase.
Описание: Written by researchers from around the globe, this book reviews the properties of Mesenchymal stem cells, summarizes the current state of knowledge in stem cell research, reports on cutting-edge methods and protocols and offers insight on effective therapies.

Описание: Whether or not an mRNA is translated is often thought to be a simple function of its steady-state concentration and the ab- sence of inhibitory proteins or RNA structures in the 5' and 3' noncoding regions. The articles presented in this volume show an unexpected flexibility of the eukaryotic translational appara- tus in the mechanism of translational initiation and provide new opportunities for regulation. Most or all mRNA molecules synthesized by RNA poly- 7 merase II in eukaryotic cells contain a 5' terminal mGpppG dinucleotide, also known as the "cap structure. " RNAs carrying a cap structure have been shown to be more resistant to attack by exoribonucleases than their uncapped counterparts. Further- more, the cap facilitates transport of the RNAs from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm, the cap functions as a binding site for the cap binding protein complex eIF-4, which enhances the translation of the RNAs by the eukaryotic trans- lational apparatus. Specifically, it has been postulated that bind- ing of e1F-4 to the 5' terminal cap facilitates the recruitment of ribosomal subunits onto the mRNAs via their free 5' ends (cap- dependent translation). Accordingly, uncapped RNAs are generally translated more poorly than capped RNAs. However, during the past 6 years both viral and cellular mRNAs have been discovered that can be translated cap-independently.
