This volume describes research methodologies and approaches used to study the Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complex and its cellular functions. Chapters detail structural and b
This volume focuses on mitophagy providing methods and protocols on the methodologies and the background information on monitoring mitophagy. Chapters detail the analysis of mitophagy in connection wi
Metalloproteins, which contain metal atoms at their active sites, are involved in many biological processes. Nearly half of all proteins require the presence of a metal atom to function, and thus, the
This volume provides key updates on several methods from the first edition as well as including new novel techniques to address the most recent technological developments and their applicati
This volume provides an essential update on fundamental issues, current and new applications, as well as practical protocols to explore the extensive applications of lipases and the potential applicat
Dysfunction of nuclear-cytoplasmic transport systems has been associated with many human diseases. Thus, understanding of how functional this transport system maintains, or through dysfunction fails t
The origin of life is one of the biggest unsolved scientific questions. This book deals with the formation and first steps of the chemical evolution of nucleic acids, including the chemical roots behi
This book describes the Notch signaling pathway with a focus on molecular mechanisms. The Notch signaling pathway is a seemingly simple pathway that does not involve any second messenger. Upon ligand
This volume explores the latest methods used to study and define serpin molecular structure, basic protease inhibition, serpin targets, and the roles of serpin in biology and disease using animal mode
This volume compiles methodologies used for detailed studies of histone variants, from their basic properties to their functional roles in chromatin and as vectors of epigenetic information. Its four
This book summarizes what is currently known about gravity sensing and response mechanisms in microorganisms, fungi, lower and higher plants; starting from the historical eye-opening experiments from

This work was compiled to serve as a convenient source that covers a number of techniques (and details of their use) in the rather large field of nanomedicine, with special attention paid to gene deli
Viruses that are transmitted via the fecal-oral route and may cause liver damage are known as enteric hepatitis viruses. These viruses, which include the hepatitis A and E viruses (HAV and HEV, respec
This volume provides an in-depth introduction to 3D printing and biofabrication and covers the recent advances in additive manufacturing for tissue engineering. The book is divided into two parts, the
This book details methods on various aspects of the very final stages of mouse oocyte development. Chapters guide the reader through in vitro growth of follicles, production of a fully-grown comp
This book provides methodological information on establishing reliable and reproducible experimental models of cardiovascular diseases. Chapters detail practical protocols from expert laboratories foc
