Parthenogenesis and Polyploidy in Mammalian Development (Cambridge Monographs in Experimental Biology)

Book Description

This authoritative account of the developmental biology of genome multiplication, the reproduction of the genetic material that results in polyploid and polytene cells, is based on many yearsâ€™ study by its authors. Polyploid and polytene cells regularly occur in a wide range of organisms, including mammals, invertebrates, plants and protozoa. The cells also have a particular significance for the function of the tissues and organs of which they are an integral part. The first part of the book details the origin of polyploidy and polyteny in the normal development of many tissue systems. In the second part the various modes of genome multiplication, its control, and its biological significance are discussed. The book is fully referenced citing literature published in many languages, and is particularly valuable in that it includes scientific results previously available only in Russian.

Description:
The ERCC1/XPF complex is responsible for incision at the 5' side of the lesion during nucleotide excision repair and is also involved in homologous recombination and interstrand cross-link repair. The aim of the current study was to set up a better model for examination of Ercc1 deficiency in the murine liver and to determine the DNA lesions responsible for the premature polyploidy observed. We used the Cre/lox system with an adenovirus carrying Cre recombinase to conditionally induce Ercc1 deficiency in murine hepatocytes in vitro. Increased levels of apoptosis were apparent in our Ercc1-deficient cultures, both spontaneously and after UV irradiation and oxidative DNA damage. Increased apoptosis was also observed in simple Ercc1-deficient livers and the time course of the development of polyploidy was characterised. Livers from simple Ercc1 knockout mice contained mitochondria with disrupted outer membranes. Lipid accumulation was observed in older Ercc1-deficient hepatocyte cultures and in young Ercc1-deficient and wild-type livers. Lipids disappeared from the wild-type livers with age, but persisted in Ercc1-deficient livers, suggesting that a reduced ability to repair oxidative DNA damage and a malfunction of oxidative pathways could be responsible for the Ercc1-deficient liver phenotype. Real-time RT-PCR was used to determine differences in expression of cell cycle regulation and survival genes between Ercc1-deficient and control livers. Higher mRNA levels of Igfbp2, a possible marker for polyploidy, and p21 were detected in Ercc1-deficient livers. The pro-apoptotic factor, Bax, showed increased levels of mRNA expression in young Ercc1-deficient livers. However, no elevation in the levels of reactive oxygen species, or of malondialdehyde DNA adducts, a product of oxidative DNA damage, were found in Ercc1-deficient liver and no elevated levels of genes involved in the oxidative damage response were seen.

Book Description

Information on many genetic disorders, and the frequent new findings on them, has been extremely difficult to come byâ€”until now. The â€œGale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disordersâ€ addresses the need for current, hard-to-find facts on emerging discoveries. The two-volume Encyclopedia, presented in a single alphabetical sequence, provides clear, complete information on genetic disorders, including conditions, tests, procedures, treatments and therapies, in articles that are both comprehensive and easy to understand, in language accessible to laypersons. The articles are arranged in a standardized format for quick comparison and ease of use, while non-disorder topics are covered in detail with extended entries. Students will want to consult the â€œGale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disordersâ€ for useful information on a range of well known disorders, including Down Syndrome, Trisomy, Hemophilia and Tourette Syndrome, and rarely seen diseases such as Meckel Syndrome, Neuraminidase Deficiency and Phenylketonuria.

Biology: Exploring life second edition.......2005-06-25

This is a review about book I've never got. So this book should be rated at 0.
Three weeks of waiting for book and then email that book was shipped to Kuwait insead of Canada. According to supplier there is no way of geting it back and there was no replacement (why not? I see same books on the site). I guess providing shipping info is not good enough. Mybe attaching a world map with the order would help.
So this purches was my first and last through Amazon. By the way I did got my money back but due to exchange rate it wasn't same amout. It was less.

A really useful resource.......2004-01-24

I would highly recommend this book. It is clear, concise and helpful. One of the beat featurs is the "Additional Resources" section, which is full of references, links, etc. to other, equally helpful sources of information. The authors are up-to-date with all the new develpments, including APPI, which has only been introduced very recently.

If you only buy one LC/MS resource buy this one!

Good comprehensive look at instrumentation.......2000-01-29

Good book for a quick look at LC/MS or LC/MS/MS. If you are searching for application notes you may find better resources elsewhere.

Book Description

This work covers the maximal and prime ideals of the incidence algebra, derivations and isomorphisms, radicals and additional ring-theoretic properties. Combinatorial discussions include a study of the Mobius function, reduced incidence subalgebras, and the coalgebra approach to incidence algebras.;College or university bookstores may order five or more copies for a special student price, which is available on request from Marcel Dekker.

Some of Dostoevsky's Finest.......2000-02-17

Those who would read Dostoevsky but, are intimidated by the sheer magnitude of his epics, should read this collection of three great shorter works. Bobok is strikingly amusing and clever. The Gambler brilliantly depicts the all too real dynamics of a toxic relationship. My favorite, A Nasty Story, is such an hilarious and witty story. It's almost painful to read as one is compelled to sympathize with the character's best intentions gone wrong. All marvelous works from the brilliant mind of Dostoevsky.

Short stories of a high order........1999-07-27

"Bobok" and "A Nasty Story" are obviously studies for a longer work, while "The Gambler" is an excellent, transparently autobiographical, account of a man obsessed with gambling. Read this book after you've read the great Dostoyevsky novels.
