Cardiac Cell Biology (Developments in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry) |
|
|
From Book News, Inc.
Reprinted from Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, v.242, 2003. Recent advances in the study of cardiac cell biology are presented here in studies that make use of cutting edge technological advances and specialized reagents. Some specific topics include decoy calcium channel beta subunits and their modulation of contractile function in myocytes, porcine aortic endothelial cells as stimulators of cardiomyocyte growth, cloning and bacterial expression of... >> |

Calcium: The Molecular Basis of Calcium Action in Biology and Medicine |
|
|
Book Description
The enormous and varied role of calcium in living systems is now widely appreciated by both cell biologists and clinicians. The identification and characterisation of new calcium binding proteins and regulatory pathways is matched by the recognition of the involvement of calcium binding proteins in a growing number of disease states. This book is intended to introduce clinicians to fundamental biological research, whilst at the same time attracting researchers to th... >> |

Plasminogen-Related Growth Factors - No. 212 (CIBA Foundation Symposia Series) |
|
|
Book Description
Plasminogen is the inactive precursor of the blood proteinase plasmin, the enzyme responsible for the dissolution of fibrin clots. It has been recognized for several years, however, that plasmin has a broad substrate specificity and can cleave a number of other proteins, including several components of the extracellular matrix. Specific cell surface receptors for the two major plasminogen activators exist on a number of cell types and probably play an important role... >> |
