Hormonal control of cell cycle
This volume reflects the proceedings of an International Workshop held in Paris in December 2006. The aim of the meeting was to undertake a high level of scholarly exchange between experts in cell biology, oncology and endocrinology interested in cell cycle control. The topics covered ranged from fundamental studies of DNA replication,chromosomal and nuclear function through growth factor control of endocrine tumor initiation and progression.
Endocrinology : Basic and Clinical Principles
For this new edition of Conn & Melmed's Endocrinology: Basic and Clinical Principles, a panel of distinguished scientists and clinicians has completely rewritten every chapter to reflect the latest advances in our understanding of the endocrine system. Maintaining the original goal of the first edition to integrate the basic science of endocrinology with its physiological and clinical principles, the authors have succinctly summarized in 450 pages the latest findings on hormone secretion and hormone action, as well as all of the most recent insights into the physiology and pathophysiology of hormonal disorders. Coverage extends across the entire spectrum of endocrinology-from mammalian cells, plants, and insects to animal models and human diseases-with much increased coverage of diabetes and metabolism. Highlights include cutting-edge discussions of appetite disorders, obesity, reproductive failure, control of thyroid function, hormone action in humans and the lower species, and the mechanisms subserving hormone secretion.
