Product Description: This volume examines the molecular basis of all aspects of cell division and cytokinesis in plants. It features 19 chapters contributed by world experts in the specific research fields, providing the most comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge on cell division control in plants...read more

Product Description: Cell biologists have recently come to understand that asymmetry of division is an important regulatory phenomenon in the fate of a cell. In adult organisms asymmetric divisions regulate the stem cell reservoir and are a source of the drift that contributes to aging...read more

Product Description: The population balance modeling is a statistical approach for achieving accurate counts of any populations. It is an efficient way of counting traffic on roadways as well as to bacteria in lakes. In the biomedical world, it is used to count cell populations for the creation of biomaterials...read more

Product Description: In this contribution, several specialists describe the current knowledge on the molecular networks that regulate cell cycle progression, with an emphasis on the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The first part of Regulation of G1 Phase Progression is concerned with the individual molecules that form the network, including cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, inhibitors of these kinases and retinoblastoma and p53...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Cell Proliferation and Apoptosis provides a detailed practical guide to cell proliferation and apoptosis detection methods. A novel approach combining both these areas allows important comparisons to be made. Topics covered include all aspects of tissue handling from collection, storage, fixation and processing through to locating and quantifying cells in different stages of the cell cycle...read more

Product Description: Centrosomes play an integral role in the growth of cells and the ultimate development of many animals, and sometimes plants. In addition to the normal growth of cells, centrosomes can also play a key role in the spread of cancer and are of increased interest to both the genetics and oncology communities...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: This volume focuses on the structural aspects of cell division, ranging from nuclear envelope breakdown to cytokinesis and partitioning of the cytoplasm. It examines spindle assembly and chromosome behavior in mitosis and meiosis, centromere and kinetochore structure and regulation, telomeres, the role of centrosomes, and mechanisms by which overall regulation is achieved...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Research in cellular and molecular biology has reached the point now where it is possible to begin to see how the different fields of cancer genetics/oncogene research and intercellular communication form an integrated molecular model for the regulation of normal and neoplastic cell proliferation...read more

This book provides a concise yet comprehensive account of animal cell cultures: how they are used in cell growth assays, how to interpret results, and how to avoid potential problem areas when using these commonly employed research tools. Cell Growth and Division furnishes laboratory protocols for using a wide range of animal cell lines. The book gives readers full coverage on measuring parameters of growth, mouse embryo cells, C3H 10T1/2 and NIHT3T cell lines, human leukemia cells, and normal human epidermal keratinocytes and mesothelial cells. This complete guide also offers convenient, all-in-one coverage of cloned T cell proliferation, muscle cell cultures, human diploid fibroblasts, cell synchronization, and BAL B/c3T3 cells. Laboratory investigators familiar with only one cell line will particularly appreciate the depth of coverage, which will make it possible to choose the line best suited to a given investigation. guidance on how they are carried out, how to interpret results, and how to avoid potential problem areas when using these commonly employed research tools.
