'Life in Motion' by John Gray McKendrick, presents a series of six engaging lectures delivered to a young audience at the Royal Institution of Great Britain during the Christmas holidays of 1891-92. McKendrick, a distinguished physiologist, explores the principles of motion as they relate to living organisms, blending physics and biology in a manner accessible to young minds. These lectures, originally crafted for a juvenile auditory, offer insights into the fundamental mechanisms driving movement and activity in living beings. McKendrick’s work provides an accessible introduction to the science of physiology and the physics of motion, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of these fields.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

  • 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...

    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...

    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...

    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 ...
