Prestigious contributors describe the genetic, molecular, anatomical and neurochemical mechanisms and pathways that operate to regulate and control circadian rhythmicity and functioning in organisms ranging from unicellular algae to human beings. Also considers the implications of the basic and clinical research for humans.
This new work contains the first integrated discussion of the role of olfaction in mosquito-host interactions. It covers the practical applications of this knowledge in attempting to control malaria as a problem for world health. The volume begins with a general overview of mosquito life cycle styles and how odour-mediated host location fits into the repertoire of behaviours that a specific specie…

A number of chronic respiratory diseases including chronic bronchitis, asthma, cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis are characterized by mucus hypersecretion. Following damage to the airway epithelium, a repair process of dedifferentiation, regenerative proliferation and redifferentiation takes place that is invariably accompanied by mucus hypersecretion as a key element in the host defence mechanis…
This book gives you an updated and expert overview of nuclear hormone receptors in drug metabolism and drug development and equips you with the interdisciplinary understanding of these receptors and how they can be regulated. Pharmaceutical researchers will find this extremely useful in developing drugs for cancer, heart disease, and diabetes treatment. This comprehensive resource collects scatter…
Карл Герт утверждает, что, вопреки риторике классовой борьбы и эгалитаризма, в действительности политика Коммунистической партии привела к развитию различных видов капитализма и усилению консюмеризма, сводя на нет цели коммунистической революции, поставленные в эпоху Мао.
