En agosto de 2004, un equipo de investigación obtuvo permiso para comenzar un estudio sobre la clonación terapéutica en el Reino Unido. Se trata del primer esfuerzo conocido para clonar embriones humanos en Occidente. Algún día, si es que no ha pasado ya, podremos clonar humanos y nos embarcaremos en un viaje científico y moral cuyo destino aún es un misterio. Con las mismas técnicas con las que se clonó la oveja Dolly, hay investigadores que han tratado de cultivar embriones humanos clonados a partir de una célula adulta. Su objetivo no es hacer copias de personas, sino generar células embrionarias, el material imprescindible para tratar algunas enfermedades terribles. A partir de los últimos descubrimientos científicos en la área de la clonación y con una prosa ágil, llena de alusiones a la literatura, la psicología, el arte, la música y el cine, Vols clonar-te? describe el nuevo mundo de posibilidades que se abre ante nosotros. Porque la perspectiva de la clonación humana despierta nuestras esperanzas más ocultas, pero también nuestros temores más oscuros, que nos hacen pensar en un cambio radical de la condición humana.

  • 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...
