Cell and Molecular Biology


Book Description

Karp continues to help biologists make important connections between key concepts and experimentation. The sixth edition explores core concepts in considerable depth and presents experimental detail when it helps to explain and reinforce the concepts. The majority of discussions have been modified to reflect the latest changes in the field. The book also builds on its strong illustration program by opening each chapter with “VIP” art that serves as a visual summary for the chapter. Over 60 new micrographs and computer-derived images have been added to enhance the material. Biologists benefit from these changes as they build their skills in making the connection.

Dendritic Cells


Book Description

This detailed volume provides methods that can be used to study dendritic cell (DC) ontogeny, isolation, migration, and functions. After an introduction to murine and human DC subsets and their unique transcriptional, phenotypic, and functional properties, the book continues with sections covering in vivo studies, in vitro differentiation, enrichment, functional characterization, as well as Omics approaches to study dendritic cells. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Dendritic Cells: Methods and Protocols is an ideal guide to familiarize readers with the current state of the art techniques to investigate these vital cells.




The Sentient Cell


Book Description

All species, extant and extinct, from the simplest unicellular prokaryotes to humans, have an existential consciousness. Without sentience, the first cells that emerged some 4 billion years ago would have been evolutionary dead-ends, unable to survive in the chaotic, dangerous environment in which life first appeared and evolved. In this book, Arthur Reber's theory, the Cellular Basis of Consciousness (CBC), is outlined and distinguished from those models that argue that minds could be instantiated on artificial entities and those that maintain consciousness requires a nervous system. The CBC framework takes a novel approach to classic topics such as the origin-of-life, philosophy of mind, the role of genes, the impact of cognition, and how biological information is processed by all species. It also calls for a rethinking of a variety of issues including the moral implications of the sentient capacities of all species, how welfare concerns need to be expanded beyond where they currently are, and critically, how all life is intertwined in a coordinated cognitive ecology. The Sentient Cell explores this revolutionary model, which updates the standard neo-Darwinian framework within which current approaches operate and examines the underlying biomolecular features that are the likely candidates for the "invention" of consciousness and outline their role in cellular life.




Albert & Marie: A World War One Drama Based on a True Story of Love, Loss and Survival


Book Description

What would you do if you were convinced you were going to die? Swept up in the frenzy of patriotism, Albert volunteers to serve his king and country.
