The second edition of Horizontal Gene Transfer has been organized to provide a concise and up-to-date coverage of the most important discoveries in this fascinating field. Written by the most prominent gene transfer and genome analytical scientists, this book details experimental evidence for the phenomenon of horizontal gene transfer and discusses further evidence provided by the recent completion of genomic sequences from Archea, Bacteria, and Eucarya members. The relevance of horizontal gene transfer to plant and metazoan taxonomy, GM foods, antibiotic resistance, paleontology, and phylogenetic reconstruction is also explored. Horizontal Gene Transfer is essential for microbiologists, gen...
Pathobiology of the Endothelial Cell presents the proceedings of the symposium on the "Pathobiology of the Endothelial Cell" held at Arden House, on the Harriman Campus of Columbia University on June 5-7, 1981. The book discusses the endothelial growth regulation; the stimulation of vascular cell growth by macrophage products; and the control of proliferation and differentiation of endothelial cells. The text also describes vessel wall growth control; the implications of angiogenesis in vitro for tumor biology; and the interactions and activation of coagulation proteases. Platelet adhesion and fibrinogen proteolysis; endothelial protein synthesis; prostaglandins, and endothelial cell-cell interactions are also considered. The book further tackles topics on vascular pathobiology. Biologists, pathologists, biochemists, hematologists, oncologists, immunologists, and microbiologists will find the text invaluable.
