RNA Regulation, 2 Volumes

Based on one of the leading encyclopedic resources in cell and molecular biology worldwide, this two-volume work contains more than 75% new content, not previously published in the Encyclopedia, All the other chapters have been carefully updated,
The result is a comprehensive overview of the different functions of the various forms of RNA in living organisms, with each contributor carefully selected and an internationally recognized expert on his or her field, Special focus is on the different forms of expression regulation through RNA, with medical applications in the treatment of diseases -- from cancers and immune responses to infections and aging -- covered in detail, At least 45 of the 55 articles are new content previously not published in the Encyclopedia,

Dr, Robert A, Meyers , the Editor in Chief (EiC) of the Encyclopedia of Cell and Molecular Biology and Molecular Medicine, originated the Encyclopedia and continues responsibility for the project,
Dr, Meyers has a Ph,D, in organic chemistry from UCLA and was a postdoctoral and faculty member at the California Institute of Technology, He is president of Ramtechlimited and is author or editor in chief of an additional twelve books and 20 technical papers as well as ten patents,

Die renommierte Encyclopedia of Cell and Molecular Biology and Molecular Medicine umfasst nun auch 2 Bände zur RNA-Biologie. Auch hier wurden die Themen und Autoren sorgfältig ausgewählt. Das Ergebnis: ein gelungenes Nachschlagewerk mit allen Wissenswerten zu dem Fachgebiet.

Texte du rabat

Since it was first considered that RNA could function as both messenger and part of the translation machinery, RNAs have been found to be versatile molecules that not only play key roles in many important biological processes like splicing, editing, protein export among others but can also act catalytically and have many complex regulatory roles in cellular processes. There is still much work to be done before we fully understand RNA's diverse nature, let alone all of its roles in both healthy and diseased states.

With each contributor carefully selected and a recognized expert in his or her field, these two volumes bring together the different functions of the various forms of RNA in a comprehensive overview, with special focus on the different forms of gene expression regulation, which have potential applications in health and disease.
