Sobre IBD

Thissecond edition offers a comprehensive overview of the physiological functionsof vertebrate kidneys from a comparative viewpoint, with particular emphasis onnonmammalian vertebrates. The topics covered include renal structure;glomerular ultrafiltration; tubular transport of inorganic ions, organicsubstances, and fluid; and urine dilution and concentration.Mammalian renal function is only considered for purposes of comparison withnonmammalian renal function and as a frame of reference for some of thediscussions. The major findings on nonmammalian renal functionand theimportant unanswered questions raised by those findings are described in detail.As such, the book provides comprehensive information on comparative renal functionfor biological scientists and advanced students of biology with some knowledgeof physiology and a desire to know more about renal function in vertebrates,and for mammalian renal physiologists who wish to obtain a broader view ofrenal function.

  • Viral Replication Complexes
    Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that need to co-opt a living cell’s machinery for replication. At the heart of the viral replication machinery are the nucleic acid polymerases, which are responsible for efficiently copying the viral genome. This process must often be coordinated with other viral processes, including protein translation and viral packaging. The poly...
  • Advances in Flavivirus Research
    The flaviviruses are composed almost entirely of arthropod-borne viruses, a subset of which are responsible for millions of cases of human disease each year. Among these viruses are dengue virus—a scourge throughout the tropical regions of Asia and the Americas; yellow fever virus—the “original” hemorrhagic fever virus; and the recently emerged Zika virus. While the flaviviruse...

  • Brain Asymmetry of Structure and/or Function
    Lesley J. Rogers / Lesley JRogers
    This edited book brings together research reports on the asymmetry of brain function in various species, including humans, dogs, birds, lizards and bees. As shown in a wide range of species, and, as we now know, not solely in humans, the left and right sides of the brain process information in different ways and control different responses or patterns of behaviour. Since this d...

  • The Epithelialto- Mesenchymal Transition ( EMT ) in Cancer
    Joëlle Roche
    The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly dynamic process with multiple transitional states, by which epithelial cells can convert into a mesenchymal phenotype. This process involves loss of cellular adhesion and cellular polarity, and an improvement in migratory and invasive properties. It occurs during normal embryonic development, tissue regeneration, organ ...

  • The Biology and Treatment of Myeloid Leukaemias
    There has been an observed decrease in the global mortality from cancer, mostly atributable to improved, particularly early, detection and prevention. For many carcinomas and leukaemias in adults, once the disease has reached a certain stage there are no therapies that are able to erradicate the cancer cells and cure patients. There has been progress in the treatment of acute m...

  • Comparative Physiology of the Vertebrate Kidney
    William H. Dantzler
    This volume emphasizes the comparative approach to under­ standing vertebrate renal function. I am convinced that this approach is of particular value in understanding both the details of renal function at the cellular and subcellular levels and the renal role in regulating fluid volumes and solute concentrations. My exposure to this approach first oc...
