    Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology reviews our understanding of the organization, regulation, and dynamics of cell-cell junctions and the roles they play in morphogenesis, tissue homeostasis, and disease. The contributors examine the assembly and structure of different cell-cell adhesion systems, the plasticity of cell-cell junctions (e.g., during cell migration), and how the junctions act as hubs to sense and transduce various mechanical and chemical signals.

    This collection reviews our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in establishing and maintaining cell polarity, as well as their relevance for human disorders. Contributors discuss how cells coordinate signaling pathways, membrane trafficking, and cytoskeletal remodeling to ensure proper spatial arrangement of cellular components. Processes such as transcytosis, exocyst-mediated vesicle trafficking, and endosomal sorting are covered in detail. Throughout, the focus is on epithelial cells and how polarity mechanisms facilitate the development of their apical and basolateral surfaces, tube formation, exchange of waste and nutrients, and the generation and maintenance of specialized structures at the cell surface.

    CRISPR-Cas-based techniques are revolutionizing molecular biology and genetics. The technology is based on a bacterial immune system that uses specific guide RNAs to target foreign DNA sequences for degradation. It has been adapted for genetic engineering and has a wide variety of applications in all fields of biology and the development of new therapeutic approaches.

    Using R at the Bench: Step-by-Step Data Analytics for Biologists is a convenient bench-side handbook for biologists, designed as a handy reference guide for elementary and intermediate statistical analyses using the free/public software package known as "R." This handbook for working scientists provides a simple refresher for those who have forgotten what they once knew and an overview for those wishing to use more quantitative reasoning in their research. Statistical methods, as well as guidelines for the interpretation of results, are explained using simple examples. Throughout the book, examples are accompanied by detailed R commands for easy reference.

    Hepatitis B affects hundreds of millions of individuals worldwide and is a leading cause of liver cancer. This book examines our understanding of the biology of the Hepatitis B virus that causes the disease, the immune responses it elicits, and its role in liver cancer. It also discusses the related Hepatitis Delta virus and its effects.

    Fungal infections affect millions of individuals worldwide. They a particular danger to immunocompromised individuals, such as those with HIV/AIDS, and invasive infections often have a mortality rate greater than 50%. This book examines our understanding of the biology of the major fungal pathogens, together with the host response, epidemiology of fungal diseases and current treatment strategies.

    Retinal disorders are a leading cause of blindness. This book examines the molecular basis of these diseases, focusing on genetic approaches that are improving both our understanding of the disease process and their diagnosis, as well as advances in gene therapy that have been used to cure patients and provide a model for treatment of other conditions.

    As universities increasingly spin off biotech companies and academics work more closely with these companies and the pharma industry, it is essential that they gain an understanding of intellectual property law and patenting. This book introduces the basic ideas and discusses how they apply to biomedical research and product development in the age of genomics.

  • - Apoptosis and Other Cell Death Mechanisms
     
    787

    One million cells in our bodies die every second--they commit suicide by a mechanism known as apoptosis. Apoptosis is essential for survival of the body as a whole and has critical roles in various developmental processes and the immune system. In Means To An End, Douglas Green provides a clear and comprehensive view of apoptosis and other cell death mechanisms. Taking a bottom-up approach, he starts with the enzymes that perform the execution process (a family of proteases termed caspases) and examines their cellular targets and the ways in which they are activated. He then looks at the molecular machinery that links signals that cause cell death to caspases, emphasizing the importance of the BCL-2 family of proteins and the role of cytochrome c released from mitochondria. The final stage of the process, phagocytic removal of dead or dying cells, is also covered. Green outlines the roles of apoptosis and death mechanisms such as necrosis in embryogenesis, neuronal selection, andthe development of self-tolerance in the immune system. In addition, he explains how cell death defends the body against cancer and traces the evolutionary origins of the apoptosis machinery back over a billion years. The book is thus of great use to all biologists interested in how cells function in the context of multicellular organisms and will appeal to everyone from undergraduates encountering the topic for the first time to researchers actively working in the field.

    Hundreds of genomes have been completely sequenced in the past decade, significantly advancing our understanding of genome structure and function. Genomes comprises a collection of review articles reprinted from the 10th Anniversary issue of the journal Genome Research that capture the status of genomic research in a selection of model species--from microbes to human. Written by leaders in the field, each chapter focuses on a kingdom, group, or species and offers a unique perspective on the history, the current status, and future of genomics research. Topics addressed include gene regulatory networks in the fruit fly and the sea squirt, fungal genome evolution, mouse and rat mutagenesis, the future of crop plant genomics, how livestock genomics informs human medicine, the importance of the dog genome in studying human disease, and the search for "humanness" through human and chimp genome comparison. In addition, updates on emerging technologies in DNA sequencing and in gene prediction, as well as direction to relevant public resources, are given. This book serves as a valuable reference and teaching tool for established scientists in the genomics field and as a comprehensive overview for those with more general interests in biology.
