Cell Migration in Development and Disease (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Wedlich, Doris

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Die Zellmigration ist in nahezu allen Bereichen der Entwicklungsbiologie, Genetik und Biomedizin von Bedeutung. Neue Verfahren zur Zellmarkierung und neue Modellsysteme führten zu raschen Fortschritten bei der Erforschung der molekularen Mechanismen der Wanderung von Zellen. Dieser Band handelt alle Aspekte des Themas umfassend ab. Im letzten Kapitel wird die Rolle der Zellmigration bei der Entstehung bestimmter Krankheitsbilder (unter anderem von Tumoren) diskutiert.

Autorenporträt

Doris Wedlich gained her PhD in zoology at the Westflische-Wilhelms-Universitt of Mnster. She carried out her postdoctoral training at the Max-Planck-Institute for Developmental Biology in Tbingen, before directing her first research group at the Free University Berlin at the Institute for Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. In 1992 she was appointed Full Professor for Biochemistry at the University of Ulm and has been Full Professor and Head of the Institute for Zoology at the Universitt Karlsruhe (TH) since 2001. Today, Professor Wedlich's research is centered on Wnt-signaling and the regulation of cell adhesion as well as on the molecular processes of tumor invasion.

Rezensionen

"... an excellent guide to current research in the field of cell migration... I highly recommend this book for all students of biology who are captivated by the thought of intelligent cells in directed motion." - Doody's Health Services

"...provides a good summary ... provide a useful introduction to the various mechanisms used for cell movement during development. ... This book would be useful to students or scientists who are interested in in vivo cell migration and perhaps for cell biologists looking for an appropriate in vivo system to study the function of a specific protein, or the relevance of in vitro findings. ... provide a helpful summary of the field and outline the open questions." - Nature Cellbiology
