Sobre IBD

Los sentidos son primordiales para relacionarnos con nuestro entorno.La visión, audición y tacto son los comúnmente más valorados, desconociéndose la relevancia que tienen el gusto y el olfato en nuestra vida. El olfato es el sentido más sensual y con la más potente relación entre estímulos, recuerdos y emociones. A ambos debemos placeres como saborear comidas y gozar aromas. Este libro aborda integralmente ambos sentidos, incluyendo revolucionarios avances científicos que han develado sus sorprendentes misterios. Comenzamos describiendo la vasta variedad de moléculas que ambos detectan y discriminan, incluyendo las feromonas, y cómo esto ocurre en la nariz y la lengua. Luego nos interiorizamos en el cerebro, en donde explicamos cómo los circuitos neuronales interpretan información sobre estas moléculas y gatillan procesos como la percepción, aprendizaje, memoria y conductas. Finalmente, comentamos sobre patologías asociadas a la pérdida de estos sentidos, incluidas el COVID-19. 10

  • 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...
