Facilitates the understanding of immune function by modelling the interactions among immunological components. This book encompasses key developments in immunoinformatics, including immunological databases, sequence analysis, structure modelling, mathematical modelling of…

This book features contributions from experts in cell biology, genetics, neurobiology, immunology and structural biology. The unifying element is that they all study processes of cell shape change and motility.

Covers basic issues concerning the nature of the worldwide health problem posed by cigarette smoking and explores the psychodynamics of cigarette addiction. This title reviews the basic pharmacology and biochemistry…

How does tinkering occur developmentally, and how is it manifested phenotypically? Are the developmental mechanisms by which tinkering occur different from those that underlie larger evolutionary changes? This book explores…

Presents a comprehensive account of where we stand in immunological strategies for preventing or treating type 1 diabetes (T1D). This book integrates information from human and animal studies. It considers…

Covers the structure, function and regulation of mammalian Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels and mechanisms of signal transduction. This book discusses about research that would improve understanding of the role…

Many human diseases such as cancer, diabetes and neural disorders arise from the malfunction of signaling components. This is frequently due to alterations of multiple components of an integrated signaling…

Functional genomics is the use of genetic information to design drugs. The ability to gather genetic data in the form of complete genetic sequences for certain organisms, has accelerated to…
