Editors’ Showcase: Nanotechnology


Book Description

We are pleased to present the latest Editors’ Showcase: Nanotechnology Research Topic. This exclusive article collection is led by Specialty Chief Editors, Professors Jan Macák, Giancarlo Franzese, Nicolae Coriolan Panoiu, John Fourkas, and Wee-Jun Ong, and submissions are open to Editorial Board members only. The work presented here celebrates the quality and diversity of research performed by our Associate and Review Editors across the entire breadth of the Nanotechnology field, and may include the latest discoveries, current challenges, and future-forward reviews and perspectives.




The Plant Cell Cycle


Book Description

In recent years, the study of the plant cell cycle has become of major interest, not only to scientists working on cell division sensu strictu , but also to scientists dealing with plant hormones, development and environmental effects on growth. The book The Plant Cell Cycle is a very timely contribution to this exploding field. Outstanding contributors reviewed, not only knowledge on the most important classes of cell cycle regulators, but also summarized the various processes in which cell cycle control plays a pivotal role. The central role of the cell cycle makes this book an absolute must for plant molecular biologists.




Editors' Showcase: Obstetrics and Gynecology


Book Description

We are pleased to present the first collection dedicated to highlighting the research of our Editorial Board, entitled Editors’ Showcase: Obstetrics and Gynecology. This exclusive collection is open to Editorial Board members only, and will feature high-quality contributions from our Associate and Review Editors. Specialty Chief Editor Professor Simcha Yagel leads this initiative, supported by Assistant Specialty Chief Editor Sarah Cohen, which will focus on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The work presented here celebrates the broad diversity of research performed across the section and aims to put a spotlight on all areas of interest to our Editors.










Stem Cells in Reproductive Medicine


Book Description

Stem cell science has the potential to impact human reproductive medicine significantly - cutting edge technologies allow the production and regeneration of viable gametes from human stem cells offering potential to preciously infertile patients. Written by leading experts in the field Stem Cells in Reproductive Medicine brings together chapters on the genetics and epigenetics of both the male and female gametes as well as advice on the production and regeneration of gene cells in men and women, trophoblasts and endometrium from human embryonic and adult stem cells. Although focussing mainly on the practical elements of the use of stem cells in reproductive medicine, the book also contains a section on new developments in stem cell research. The book is essential reading for reproductive medicine clinicians, gynecologists and embryologists who want to keep abreast of practical developments in this rapidly developing field.




Cell Growth


Book Description

Recent breakthroughs in the field of cell growth, particularly in the control of cell size, are reviewed by experts in the three major divisions of the field: growth of individual cells, growth of organs, and regulation of cell growth in the contexts of development and cell division. This book is an introductory overview of the field and should be adaptable as a textbook.
