Chloride Channels, Volume 42 (Current Topics in Membranes)
William B. Guggino,Arnost Kleinzeller,Douglas M. Fambrough | 1994-08-18 00:00:00 | Academic Press | 354 | Cell Biology
The amount of new information on the molecular biology of chloride channels has grown tremendously in recent years. This large amount of information gives some unique and, in some instances, surprising insights into the function and structure of chloride channels which are present in every cell. This volume contains a series of in-depth reviews of chloride channel physiology, biophysics, and molecular biology. The reviews cover chloride channels found in the plasma membrane as well as in organelles of both plant and animal cells.

Key Features
* Discusses CFTR, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator, which is responsible for CF and the CIC-family of chloride channels responsible for myotonia congenita
* In-depth reviews of chloride channel physiology, biophysics, and molecular biology
* Reviews chloride channels found in the plasma membrane and in organelles of both plant and animal cells

Advances in Genetics, Volume 34

Advances in Genetics, Volume 34
Jeffrey C. Hall,Jay C. Dunlap,Francesco Giannelli,Theodore Friedmann | 1996-08-20 00:00:00 | Academic Press | 497 | Cell Biology
This volume of Advances in Genetics illustrates the series goal to publish the most current, up-to-date reviews in the field of molecular and human genetics. This volume deviates from previous volumes in that it focuses solely on the polytene chromosome. In an excellent and exhaustive review, I.F. Zhimulev illustrates the use and function of the polytene chromosome in three parts: morphology and structure, organization and functional role of the heterochromaticregions, and the transcription patterns and replication of the chromosome. To best illustrate the breadth and scope of research, Dr. Zhimulev includes more than 100 figures and more than 2900 references specifically relevant to the polytene chromosome.

Key Features
* Presents technical and historical overviews of molecular biology applied to disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment
* Chronicles the continuing explosion of knowledge in molecular genetic medicine by highlighting current approaches to understanding human illness
* Documents the revolution in human and molecular genetics leading to a new field of medicine

Lawrence S.B. Goldstein,Eric A. Fyrberg,Leslie Wilson,Paul T. Matsudaira | 1994-12-20 00:00:00 | Academic Press | 755 | Cell Biology
Drosophila melanogaster: Practical Uses in Cell and Molecular Biology is a compendium of mostly short technical chapters designed to provide state-of-the art methods to the broad community of cell biologists, and to put molecular and cell biological studies of flies into perspective. The book makes the baroque aspects of genetic nomenclature and procedure accessible to cell biologists. It also contains a wealth of technical information for beginning or advanced Drosophila workers. Chapters, written within a year of publication, make this topical volume a valuable laboratory guide today and an excellent general reference for the future.

Key Features
* Collection of ready-to-use, state-of-the art methods for modern cell biological and related research using Drosophila melanogaster
* Accessible to both experienced Drosophila researchers and to others who wish to join in at the cutting edge of this system
* Drosophila offers an easily managed life cycle, inexpensive lifestyle, extraordinarily manipulable molecular and classical genetics, now combined with powerful new cell biology techniques
* Introduction and overview sections orient the user to the Drosophila literature and lore
* Six full-color plates and over 100 figures and tables enhance the understanding of these cell biology techniques
