Droplets of Life: Membrane-Less Organelles, Biomolecular Condensates, and Biological Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation provides foundational information on the biophysics, biogenesis, structure, functions, and roles of membrane-less organelles. The study of liquid–liquid phase separation has attracted a lot of attention from disciplines such as cell biology, biophysics, biochemistry, and others trying to understand how, why, and what roles these condensates play in homeostasis and disease states in living organisms. This book's editor recruited a group of international experts to provide a current and authoritative overview of all aspects associated with this exciting area.Sections introduce membrane-less organelles (MLOs) and biomolecular condensates; MLOs in different sizes, shapes, and composition; and the formation of MLOs due to phase separation and how it can tune reactions, organize the intracellular environment, and provide a role in cellular fitness..

G Protein-Coupled Receptors, Part A, Volume 193 in the Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science series, highlights new advances in the field. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest class of cell surface proteins with an intricate involvement of nearly every physiological process in our body. Approximately, one third of the clinically prescribed medicines target GPCRs and the quest to improve the exiting GPCR-targeting therapeutics continues. These two volumes are focused on activation, signaling and regulation of GPCRs with specific examples of receptor systems and cellular processes.

Molecular, Cellular, and Metabolic Fundamentals of Human Aging provides researchers with an overview of the main aging mechanisms and physiology and how they can lead to age-related diseases and conditions. Topics covered include DNA damage and how ineffective repair can lead to cell and tissue aging and decreased functionality, loss of proteostasis, changes to feeding and fasting pathways, mitochondrial dysfunction, the impact of decreased ability of autophagosomes and autophagosomes, cellular senescence, changes to communication molecules, and the impact of stem cell exhaustion. The book also considers the impact of aging within the immune system, the relationship between aging and diseases such as cancers and neurodegenerative conditions, and provides an overview on the dialogue surrounding the topic of aging beyond basic biology.

Encyclopedia of Cell Biology, Second Edition, a Six Volume Set, has established itself as a fundamental reference work, providing broad coverage of the field in four main sections (Molecular, Organizational, Functional, Translational and Pathological Aspects of Cell Biology). This second edition revisits and expands each section, with entries on topics not covered in the first edition, including Crispr. The whole work is updated, providing greater coverage of specialized cell function and translational applications, and putting greater emphasis on these topics in graduate/medical teaching. New overview chapters and subsections provide a simplified cell biology text that can be used by instructors. The new version includes a standard template for each chapter, making the content easier to navigate, as well as inserts and graphics which provide summaries of key points in each chapter.

Molecular Nutrition and Mitochondria: Metabolic Deficits, Whole-Diet Interventions, and Targeted Nutraceuticals provides a comprehensive examination of molecular aspects of mitochondrial nutrition and how dietary compounds might impact the treatment of mitochondrial dysfunction. Beginning with an overview of the fundamentals of mitochondria physiology and the methods used to evaluate mitochondrial imbalance in clinical practice, the book goes on to outline nutritional shortfalls in mitochondrial dysfunction and highlights the complex intra-organelle milieu affecting interactions between food compounds and mitochondrial co-factors, metabolites, and signaling molecules. Further sections explore the impact of essential nutrients, such as vitamin E, fatty acids, and complex lipids, on mitochondrial biogenesis, as well as non-essential bioactive compounds originating from food that can be evaluated for their mitochondria-modulating potential, such as mitochondria-targeted small molecule antioxidants, plant-based pigments and organic compounds, nucleotides, non-proteogenic amino acids and derivatives, and mitochondria-specific enzyme mimetics from food. Molecular Nutrition and Mitochondria covers the key impacts of nutrition on mitochondria, and is the ideal reference for researchers, students and clinicians looking to develop an in-depth understanding of how dietary compounds can prevent and treat disorders associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.

Image Atlas of COVID-19 covers this novel and emerging respiratory infectious disease. Although the gold standard for clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 remains the nucleic acid test for SARS-CoV-2, chest CT scans have been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 as simple and fast diagnostic methods. The latter has proven crucial when faced with a large volume of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. The imaging manifestations of COVID-19 have some specific characteristics, hence a better understanding of imaging findings is of great value for detecting lesions, evaluating lesion severity, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and assessment of therapeutic options and prognosis.
