An Analysis of the Research on Sugarcane Yellow Leaf
For 30 years, sugarcane yellow leaf (SYL) has been known as a viral disease. After analyzing decades of confusing and contradictory research, the author argues it is a physiological syndrome. This book aims to disentangle the issue and show the truth behind the condition.
This book, by the world’s best experts, covers the emerging field of membrane atg8ylation. Atg8ylation is to membranes what ubiquitylation is to proteins: a homeostatic process that guards and remodels them. Its downstream functions in health and disease remain to be defined.
Existing textbooks on endocrinology do not link theory to the practical world, leading to a lack of applicable knowledge. Smirnova reduces the gap between theoretical knowledge and its practical applications in the management of endocrine disorders.
Advances in Environmental Biotechnology
In a world grappling with climate change and resource scarcity, biotechnology emerges as a powerful tool. This book presents cutting-edge research from leading experts on solutions for waste management, bioenergy, and pollution, highlighting its potential for a greener future.
The Determination of a Lifespan
Human lifespan differs by as much as 30 years across the world due to factors like meals, disease, and genes. This book clarifies these factors and suggests how to live longer. It also surveys animals and plants living for 10,000 years or longer.
Blindsight, Traumatic Brain Injuries, and the Brain
Advances in neuroscience are revolutionizing society. This book provides insight into the wonders of sensory experience, traumatic brain injuries, and diseases like Alzheimer’s, exploring the field from individual cells to the majestic organ now contemplating itself.
Six chemical elements make up 98% of the human body, but what remains is equally important. This book is about the other elements that are vitally important for some animals and plants, as well as a few that are deadly or used as protection by others.
Pharmaco-Biotechnology and Nanotechnology
This volume on pharmaceutical biotechnology covers nano-biotechnology for cancer detection, biosensors, pharmacogenetics, and nutrigenetics. It deciphers the interplay between diet, drugs, and genetics for improving human health. For students, researchers, and professionals.
This volume on interdisciplinary life sciences is for researchers across various scientific fields and anyone interested in the topic. It integrates disciplines to solve complex problems and is lavishly illustrated with flow charts, diagrams, and tables for easy learning.
Kin Recognition in Protists and Other Microbes
This is the first volume on the genetics, evolution, and behavior of kin recognition in microbes. It covers how cells recognize kin and clones, the role of kinship in disease, and what microbial cooperation and cheating reveal about the origins of multicellularity.
Basic Biology for Born Engineers
While the laws of physics rely on calculus, this approach fails for biology. Living things are not continuous; they are discrete and amazingly exact. This book presents a novel view of biology as the science of ‘living mosaics’, made of discrete, yet interacting, ‘tiles’.
What Is Life and What Is Consciousness
What is life? What is consciousness? This book tackles these age-old questions with a new concept: matter-related information. It demonstrates that information is an indispensable contributor to the organization and functionality of all living systems.
The first print edition of Global Entrepreneurship (GBioE) unites trusted insights from biotech industry professionals and academics. Explore emergent issues like AI in biotech, post-pandemic challenges, and Precision Medicine, plus in-depth interviews with top Biotech CEOs.
To meet challenges in health, agriculture, and industry, knowledge of genetic engineering is indispensable. This volume coherently presents comprehensive information from recent studies on its principles and applications for students and researchers in the biological sciences.
Integrated Gas Sensing and Biomarker Detection
At the forefront of innovation, this book offers a deep dive into gas sensing technology, with a unique emphasis on integrating machine learning to enhance sensor performance. A multidisciplinary guide bridging chemistry, electronics, and AI for researchers and engineers.
