The purpose of the present volume is to give a comprehensive and up-to-date 2 survey of the nature and role of calcium ions (Ca +) in the regulation of cel­ 2 lular function. Since Ca + has gained in interest over the past...

Alcohol abuse ranks among the most common and also the most severe environmental hazards to human health. Its significance is heightened by the possibility of prevention by elimination of the habit, however, rarely exerted. The...

Neurochemical Techniques in Insect Research properly emphasizes the insect. It only scratches the surface of the exploding repertoire of general neuro­ chemical techniques that can be applied to insect research in 1985. But it...

The neuroendocrine control of reproduction and development of inver­ tebrates has a long tradition as an important area of research in France. The reader of this volume is certainly familiar with the significant con­ tributions...

Scientific progress, more and more, makes it possible to relate disease to irreg­ ularities on a molecular basis. Both, diagnosis and cure can be targeted to a well defined biological structure. Modern medical research aims at...

Four years ago The Blue Light Syndrome was published as the Proceed­ ings of the 1 st International Conference on the Effect of Blue Light in Plants and Microorganisms. Subsequently the interest in this fascinating and growing...

The quantitative analysis of blood flow within central and peripheral blood vessels has attracted more and more interest, for with the rapid developments in vascular surgery and the introduction of percutaneous transluminal...
