Número de Páginas: 986

Nadie con una mínima capacidad de asombro puede sustraerse a la admiración que causa la enorme variedad de formas, colores, tamaños y comportamientos de los animales marinos. Y es que el mar y los seres que lo habitan, sorprendentemente distintos de los terrestres, constituyen un mundo fascinante a la vez que, para la mayoría de las personas, desconocido y aun misterioso. De hecho, son pocas las que son capaces de reconocer especies que no sean las que están habituadas a ver (y que aprecian por razones gastronómicas), pues el conocimiento en profundidad de esta materia generalmente está restringido a dos grupos de expertos: por una parte, los biólogos, y, por otra, los profesionales que capturan y comercializan los productos que les ofrece el mar, principalmente los pescadores. En ambos colectivos desempeña un papel central la terminología que permite identificar, diferenciar y clasificar las especies, la terminología que hace posible la comunicación entre los miembros que integran la comunidad profesional. El ingente volumen de información acopiado, el rigor metodológico y la profundidad del análisis que caracterizan la obra son fiel reflejo de la competencia...

Red Cell Membrane Transport in Health and Disease

Autor: Ingolf Bernhardt , J. Clive Ellory

Número de Páginas: 761

The red cell has been a focus for scientific and medical investigation since the ear liest times. A higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate was associated with diseases (usually pyrexias) before the thermometer was invented. Furthermore, ever since the early observers Swammerdam and Leeuvenhoek saw discrete corpuscles in samples of blood using the first microscopes, there has been a significant scientific interest in the structure and function of red blood cells. The later discovery that red cells were not spherical, but biconcave discs introduced a scientific puzzle which is still not completely resolved today, and identified the need for a detailed knowledge of the plasma membrane composition and structure, and its interaction with the cytoskeleton. Important concepts like the lipid bilayer, together with its more recent refinement as asymmetric in phospholipid composition led to the identification of translocases involved in actively maintaining its composition. Understanding the mechanics of red cell deformation as these biconcave discs traverse capillaries was advanced by the pioneering work of Rand and Burton in the Sixties, and progressed by Evans, Skalak and others. Based on ...

Vínculos de la lengua vasca con las lenguas de todo el mundo

Autor: Imanol Aguirre

Número de Páginas: 596

Políglota consumado que se manejaba por igual en ruso, alemán, francés, chino o árabe, Imanol Agire nació en Bilbao en la Nochevieja de 1913 y dedicó toda su vida al estudio profundo y sistemático de la lingüística, siendo precisamente el euskera, el idioma que él consideraba que debería haber sido su lengua materna, el último que dominó y al que quiso dedicar sus mayores esfuerzos a lo largo de los últimos veinte años de su vida. En 1961 publicó La escritura en el mundo (Euskerearen Lokariak ludi guztiko izkuntzakaz) probablemente la obra más completa publicada hasta la fecha sobre el origen, evolución y expansión en el mundo de la escritura. Años más tarde, en 1980, verá la luz la primera edición de Vínculos de la lengua vasca con las lenguas de todo el mundo, publicada por la Editorial ¨La Gran Enciclopedia Vasca". En este trabajo, tras una ingente labor de lingüística comparada, prueba la existencia de múltiples coincidencias morfológicas y fonéticas entre el euskera y centenares de otras lenguas vivas y muertas, y atribuye al euskera la condición de protolengua, cuyo origen se remontaría al paleolítico. Con su inesperado fallecimiento, en...

Número de Páginas: 301

Un perro no es un capricho, es una responsabilidad. Piense que adoptar o comprar un animal es ampliar con un nuevo miembro la familia. No olvide que algunos canes pueden estar contigo 15 o incluso 20 años. La adquisición de un perro es un compromiso de por vida. "Si pretendes deshacerte de él cuando los niños crezcan o te canses del animal, no deberían acoger un animal en casa. Las protectoras y perreras están llenas de perros que han perdido su hogar por culpa de las decisiones impulsivas y poco responsables de sus dueños". Antes de optar por una raza pequeña, mediana o grande eche un vistazo a su hogar y sea realista al calcular el espacio disponible para su nuevo amigo. El perro necesita un sitio para dormir, lugares identificados para comer y espacio para andar. El aspecto de un perro no debe ser el único motor que determine la decisión. Además del tamaño cuenta la personalidad: hay razas más tranquilas, sociables o nerviosas. La llegada de un perro supone contar con un nuevo miembro en casa.

Neonatology and Blood Transfusion

Autor: C. Th. Smit-sibinga

Número de Páginas: 294

Proceedings of the Twenty-Eighth International Symposium on Blood Transfusion, Groningen, NL, Organized by the Sanquin Division Blood Bank North-East, Groningen. It is in many ways fitting that the last of these international symposia on blood transfusion should end with neonatal blood transfusion. The most fragile, least well studied and most at risk population requires special care and concern. We need to expand our knowledge of their unique physiology, biochemical pathways and in planning treatment and interventions, always "do no harm." This proceedings of the last Groningen symposium presents a wealth of information on developmental immunology, the molecular basis of haematopoeisis, physiological basis of bleeding and thrombosis, transfusion risks and benefits and lastly, future therapies. Infants provide us with much to learn but in turn they will be the providers of (through cord blood) and the recipients of (through cellular engineering) the best that science can offer. Translational research, which has been the thrust of these presentations for 28 years, will benefit them in a way that no scientist could have ever predicted.

Mujeres Enamoradas

Autor: D. H. Lawrence

Número de Páginas: 562

Una mañana, Úrsula y Gudrun Brangwen estaban sentadas en el balcón mirador de la casa de su padre, trabajando y conversando. Úrsula daba puntadas a un bordado de vívidos colores, y Gudrun dibujaba sobre una tabla que sostenía en las rodillas. Hablaban poco, con largos intervalos de silencio, y, cuando lo hacían, parecía que expresaran pensamientos que de tanto en tanto cruzaban al azar su mente. Gudrun dijo: —Úrsula, ¿tienes verdaderas ganas de casarte? Úrsula dejó el bordado en su regazo y alzó la vista. La expresión de su cara era serena y meditativa. Replicó: —No lo sé. Depende de lo que hayas querido decir. Gudrun quedó levemente sorprendida y miró durante unos instantes a su hermana. Con ironía repuso: —Bueno... por lo general, casarse sólo significa una cosa. De todos modos, ¿no crees que estarías —en este punto, la expresión de Gudrun se hizo levemente sombría— en mejor situación que en la que estás? Una sombra cruzó la cara de Úrsula: —Quizá. Pero tampoco lo sé con certeza.

Molecular Biology of B-Cell and T-Cell Development

Autor: John G. Monroe , Ellen Rothenberg

Número de Páginas: 582

Despite the tremendous diversity of the cells of the hematopoietic system, they are all derived from common precursor cells that are generated in the fetus and persist into adult life. In this regard, Band T lymphocytes, which comprise the two arms of the antigen-specific and inducible immune system, though functionally very different, are descendants of the same stem cell precursor. In the past several years, we have witnessed an explosion of information regarding the process by which differentiation of B-and T-cells from stem cells occurs. This information, like the answers to most important biological questions, has come from multiple and diverse directions. Because all hematopoietic cells arise from common precursors, complex regulatory processes must be involved in determining commitment to various lineages. Understanding commitment to the B- or T-cell lineage remains incomplete; however, identification of transcription factors necessary for progression along specific B-and T-cell pathways suggests that we are on the verge of understanding the molecules involved in the initial fate-determining steps. Studies of this type previously could be accomplished only in nonmammalian...

Transcription Factors

Número de Páginas: 640

Transcription Factors Normal and Malignant Development of Blood Cells Katya Ravid and Jonathan Licht The role of transcription factors in activating specific genes in blood cells is an important facet of hematopoiesis. Equally important, however, is the pursuit of genes rearranged and aberrantly activated in leukemias (blood malignancies). Transcription Factors: Normal and Malignant Development of Blood Cells focuses on those major transcription factors involved in activation of lineage-specific gene expression during normal versus malignant development of specific blood lineages, as revealed from gene promoter studies, knockout of transcription factors in mice models, and the identification and characterization of chromosomal rearrangement in human blood leukemias. This complete digest of current transcription factor data offers comprehensive coverage of the myriad of transcription factors in blood cell development, composed by established experts in the field. In addition to updating the reader on the connection between chromosomal translocations involving transcription factors and cellular transformation leading to leukemia, Transcription Factors also reviews such subjects as:...

Myofibrillogenesis

Autor: Dipak K. Dube

Número de Páginas: 281

Myofibrillogenesis has been studied extensively over the last 100 years. Until recently, we have not had a comprehensive understanding of this fundamental process. The emergence of new technologies in molecular and cellular biology, combined with classical embryology, have started to unravel some of the complexities of myofibril assembly in striated muscles. In striated muscles, the contractile proteins are arranged in a highly ordered three dimensional lattice known as the sarcomere. The assembly of a myofibril involves the precise ordering of several proteins into a linear array of sarcomeres. Multiple isoforms in many of these proteins further complicate the process, making it difficult to define the precise role of each component. This volume has been compiled as a comprehensive reference on myofibrillogenesis. In addition, the book includes reviews on myofibrillar disarray under various pathological conditions, such as familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC), and incorporates a section on the conduction system in the heart. Much of the information in this volume has not been described elsewhere. Presented in a manner to be of value to students and teachers alike,...

El principio Zen

Autor: Osho

Número de Páginas: 248

Un libro que te ayudará y te guiará para encontrar el equilibrio de tu espiritualidad. "La sabiduría no es el conocimiento, sino el camino que te lleva a él". Con este punto de vista tan entrañable y a la vez libre de ego, Osho reflexiona sobre el antiguo arte Zen y la forma espiritual en que la vida fluye a través de él. De forma mística y alejada de cualquier prejuicio, el místico contemporáneo cuestiona el pensamiento y la vida de la sociedad moderna y cómo nos hemos alejado de una espiritualidad que cada día se vuelve más necesaria. En sus palabras: «La verdad no se descubre por primera vez; se redescubre una y otra vez. La verdad es eterna. Podemos apartarnos de ella, lo cual es natural para la mente humana, que se aburre fácilmente, pero una vez que hemos olvidado, lo viejo parece nuevo»"

Gatos ilustres

Autor: Doris Lessing , Joana Santamans Mercadé

Número de Páginas: 177

Un homenaje literario a los gatos de la mano de la Premio Nobel de Literatura Doris Lessing. En esta edición ilustrada por Joana Santamans, la aproximación personalísima, sobria y sensual de la autora al mundo de los felinos se viste de elegante modernidad. El amor de Doris Lessing por los gatos viene de lejos. Gatos ilustres se abre con las experiencias de la gran autora en la granja africana donde se crio y nos lleva hasta su vida adulta en Londres, en un viaje a través de los continentes y de los años que tiene como hilo conductor a muchos de los gatos que formaron parte su vida. Agresivos algunos, muy dignos otros, todos en busca de atención, estos animales corrientes se convierten en criaturas extraordinarias bajo la mirada atenta de Lessing. Las ilustraciones de Joana Santamans dan el último toque de gracia a un texto que en sí mismo es una auténtica delicia literaria. « Un gato es un auténtico lujo... lo ves caminar por tu habitación y en su andar solitario descubres un leopardo, incluso una pantera. La chispa amarilla de esos ojos te recuerda todo el exotismo escondido en el amigo que tienes al lado, en ese animalito que maúlla de placer cuando le acaricias.» ...

Stem Cells Research Compendium

Autor: Prasad S. Koka

Número de Páginas: 462

The two broad categories of mammalian stem cells exist: embryonic stem cells, derived from blastocysts, and adult stem cells, which are found in adult tissues. In a developing embryo, stem cells are able to differentiate into all of the specialised embryonic tissues. In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, replenishing specialised cells. As stem cells can be readily grown and transformed into specialised tissues such as muscles or nerves through cell culture, their use in medical therapies has been proposed. In particular, embryonic cell lines, autologous embryonic stem cells generated therapeutic cloning, and highly plastic adult stem cells from the umbilical cord blood or bone marrow are touted as promising candidates. Among the many applications of stem cell research are nervous system diseases, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune diseases as well as Parkinson's disease, end-stage kidney disease, liver failure, cancer, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease.
