Molecular Mechanisms of Adult Stem Cell Aging (Else Kroner-Fresenius-Symposia)
S Karger Pub | ISBN: 3805592434 | 2010-04-30 | PDF | 108 pages | 11 Mb
There is growing evidence that adult stem cells age. This process can result in alterations in the number and function of stem cells, leading to distinct phenotypic outcomes in different organ systems. This publication provides an outstanding overview of this emerging field. The molecular causes of stem cell aging remain to be defined. Stem cell aging can involve cell-intrinsic as well as cell-extrinsic alterations affecting the stem cell niche or the macroenvironment. Stem cells have a longer life span than other cell populations and retain a capacity to proliferate and differentiate in adult organs. The aging of adult stem cells plays a key role in the decline of organ maintenance and regenerative potential during aging and during the end stage of chronic diseases. In addition, it can contribute to stem cell transformation and carcinogenesis. "Molecular Mechanisms of Adult Stem Cell Aging" will appeal to scientists working in the fields such as stem cells, aging, regeneration and cancer. This subject matter should be of interest to physicians and scientists specializing in geriatric medicine, internal medicine, and surgery. It is also likely to be an invaluable resource for medical students and biologists who wish to enhance their understanding of molecular and stem cell biology.Download
Pollen Biotechnology for Crop Production and Improvement
Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 052147180X | 1997-04-13 | PDF | 464 pages | 16 Mb
Our knowledge of pollen, the gold dust that carries the male germ line of flowering plants and is vital for sexual reproduction and seed formation, has "come of age" with the publication of this book. Here, for the first time in a single volume, are all the ideas and techniques developed in the past two decades concerning the manipulation of pollen and pollen tubes in plant breeding and biotechnology. Pollen has never been an easy topic to come to grips with, with its variable and often inexplicable terminology that has made it a more difficult field in which to work. This book will remedy that, with its overview of pollen biology and pollen-pistil interactions that explains terms and concepts of the male function of pollen in a way that is readily understandable to the student and professional plant scientist and plant breeder.• First book solely devoted to the subject of pollen biotechnology and crop improvement • 21 chapters by top experts discuss pollen’s basic biology and both new and older biotechnological methods of improving crops by manipulating pollen • Plant biotechnologists, horticulturalists, forestry scientists, and plant breeders will all find the book useful
DNA and Your Body: What You Need to Know about Biotechnology By Colin Masters
Publisher: UNSW Press ISBN: 0868409847 edition 2005 PDF 195 pages 1,4 mb
Most people know very little about DNA, the molecule that programs our human potential. This book explains what DNA is and then identifies its central role in so many everyday human experiences, including growth and development, ageing, individuality and degenerative diseases. All discussion is in the context of the human body. The book then addresses the flood of new DNA-related information that has flowed from the recent revolution in biotechnology: information that is transforming the food we eat; the way medicine is practised, and even changing the ways in which crimes are solved. To be informed on all these topics of the moment requires an understanding of the basic principles of DNA biology. The book discusses many controversial issues relating to applications of biotechnology, including cloning, tissue culture, the human genome project, hormone treatment and IV fertilisation. "DNA and Your Body" is written for a general audience, using non-technical language. All chapters begin with a boxed chapter summary and a list of Frequently Asked Questions, and there is a comprehensive glossary of terms. Each chapter ends with a discussion of the ethical considerations of some advances in DNA technology. The work contains some 14 explanatory black-line drawings.Download:Link_1OrLink_2
A valuable volume in the Notable Scientists series, A to Z of Biologists uses the device of biography as a way to put a human face on science - a method that adds immediacy to the prose for the high schooler who might have an interest in pursuing a career in biology. This comprehensive survey features more than 180 entries and 50 black-and-white photographs. Each profile focuses on a particular biologist's research and contributions to the field and his or her effect on scientists whose work followed. Their lives and personalities are discussed as well through incidents, quotations, and photographs. Culturally inclusive and spanning the whole range of biologists from ancient times to the present day, the entries on women and minority biologists in particular articulate some of the obstacles that these biologists overcame in the process of reaching their goals. This volume is an ideal resource for students and general readers interested in the history of biology or the personal and professional lives of significant biologists.Download:Link_1OrLink_2

Biotechnology is the major technology of the 21st century, yet few people realise how much it impacts on many aspects of human society. The defining aim of this new fifth edition is to re-establish the correct understanding of the term biotechnology. Using the straightforward style that made the previous editions of his textbook so popular, John Smith once again helps students with the deciphering and use of biological knowledge. He explains the historical developments in biotechnology and the range of activities from brewing beer, the treatment of sewage and other wastes, and the creation of biofuels. He also discusses the innovations in molecular biology, genomics and proteomics, systems biology and their impact on new biotechnology. In this edition John Smith also re-examines the ethics and morality of aspects of biotechnology and puts new emphasis on stem cells and regenerative medicine and micro RNA.Download:Link1 (Depositefile)

Biotechnology and allied fields like Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Microbiology arepromising research-oriented and fast-growing interdisciplinary fields. These subjects findapplication in every sphere of life and have tremendous career opportunities available presentlyand in future.In such demand-oriented fields, lot of research works at molecular level changes, likegene-transfer, stem-cell research, chemicals application, microbial involvement in environmentalupgradation including organic shift is being aimed at fertilizers, raw materials andultimately in human beings–food-related issues. Under these circumstances due to growingconcerns arising from Genetically-Modified Organisms throughout the world the UNIDO/WHO/FAO/UNEP has built up an informal working group on Bioethics and Biosafety. In 1991, thisgroup preferred the “voluntary code of conduct for the release of organisms into the environment”.Such operative Biosafety guidelines and Bioethic regulations are incorporated in thisbook in accordance with the syllabus of M.Sc. (Biotechnology), B.E. (Biotechnology) and B.Tech.(Biotechnology).I thank Mr. Saumya Gupta, M.D., M/s. New Age International (P) Ltd., Publishers and theProduction Editor for their kind cooperation.
