DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Origin of Life studies have a nearly-impossible goal: understanding nature through the comprehension of its origins and its complexities. As a growing field with poorly-defined borders, Origin of Life studies profit from progress in other disciplines. This book proposes both an overview of this large area and an in-depth look at the opinions and results obtained by some of the active contributors of this fascinating and deeply thought-provoking matter. The topics are presented in a bottom-up order, first touching on the habitability of the universe, then the rationale behind meaningful prebiotic chemistry, the possible or probable prebiotic chemical frames, the problem of chirality, and moving on through the role of minerals in biogenesis, biogenic fertile environments, the in-and-out problem as solved by vesicles physics, the evolution of the codes, the structure of LUCA and its proto metabolisms and the meaning of complex extant biological biomorphs, as exemplified by viroids. These topics and the reasoning within the chapters are provided against the backdrop of the evolution of information and complexity.

Formation And Fate Of Cell Organelles

~~58,29€~~ 52,46€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Formation and Fate of Cell Organelles is a collection of papers that discusses the manner in which cellular structures arise from the component molecules, particularly on cytoplasmic inheritance, and the problem of spontaneous assembly. One paper describes the process how the phospholipid lecithin, assemble spontaneously into complex structures with great versatility when the lipid molecules are dispersed in an aqueous environment in vitro. Another paper discusses the resolution of the spindle fibers of the mitotic apparatus where the major protein in the apparatus is a 3.5 S particle, with a molecular weight of ca. 68,000. One paper investigates the degree of organization in the bacterial cell where inside the bacterial cell, the DNA act as its own method of compartmentation. Possibly, the DNA forms a coil which contains the mechanisms for the synthesis of the deoxy triphosphate into DNA. The coil leaves none of the mechanisms for the normal metabolism of the cell nor the mechanisms for the formation of RNA. Another paper examines cytoplasmic genes and organelle formation. The collection can prove valuable for bio-chemists, cellular biologists, micro-biologists, and developmental biologists.

Role Of Chromosomes In Development

58,29€

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Role of Chromosomes in Development is a collection of papers that deals with structural patterns and functional organization of chromosomes. Some papers discuss chromosomal proteins, DNA replication sequences in higher animals, and the implications of localized DNA synthesis in polytene chromosomes. Several papers describe chromosomal RNA, nuclear RNA fractions, genetic control, and the regulation of developmental pathways. One paper concerns the "bithorax" series that controls the development of certain body segments of the fly in a polarized and coordinated manner reminiscent of the genes in the operons of microorganisms. The bithorax genes evidently exploit and amplify a gradient arising from an anteroposterior gradient during mitotic division rates. The bithorax genes produces a whole set of new substances that repress certain systems of cellular differentiation, letting other systems to emerge and develop. Another paper investigates the hypothesis of diploid subnuclei as the architectural subunit of the ciliate macronucleus, as well as the hypothesis of "allelic repression" as the basis for certain examples of subnuclear differentiation. The collection can prove beneficial for biochemists, micro-biologists, bio-physicists, cellular researchers, and academicians involved in the study of cellular biology.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 An engaging introduction to mosquitoes unravels the complex biology, evolution, and natural history of these tiny yet formidable creatures.There are more than 3,700 species of mosquitoes in the world, yet most research has focused on three that have had the greatest health impacts on humans: Aedes aegypti, Anopheles gambiae, and Culex pipiens. In Three Mosquitoes, renowned Yale biologist Jeffrey R. Powell provides a comprehensive yet accessible guide to these critical species. Powell discusses the three mosquitoes' complex biology, distributions, taxonomy, and evolutionary histories, along with their ecological and social implications. However, rather than describe each species in isolation, the book is arranged by themes and levels of biological organization (molecular, whole organism, and population). This structure reveals insightful comparisons and highlights important contrasts that might be overlooked if each species were described separately. Within this context, Powell examines mosquito-microbe associations-focusing mainly on the microbes that cause human disease-and past, present, and future efforts to control mosquito populations to reduce disease transmission.Whether you are a student, instructor, an entomologist, or a curious reader, this book offers a fascinating exploration of the genetic, ecological, and behavioral intricacies of mosquitoes that highlights their crucial roles in human history and health.
