Описание: This book provides an update on sigma receptors, and summarizes recent advances in the medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology of sigma receptors. It describes the functional effects mediated by these receptors and the potential clinical implications of these actions. This information is put in a historical perspective to help newcomers to the field successfully navigate the confusing early history surrounding these proteins, and provides a launching point from which future studies and research directions can easily be developed. Major advances in our understanding of sigma receptors have been made during the past few years. This book will facilitate exciting new research that could lead to significant advances in the treatment of neurologic, psychiatric, cardiovascular, immunologic, and gastrointestinal disorders through a better understanding of sigma receptors.

Описание: This volume presents the most current reviews on how cancer stem cells (CSCs) hypothesis dictates that the continued proliferation of a tumor is dependent on a sub-population of self-renewing and asymmetrically dividing neoplastic stem cells that supply a largely differentiated tumor. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the characteristics of CSCs, their role in central nervous system (CNS) tumors, and the recent CSC-specific treatment modalities being used. The emerging focus on CSCs in brain tumors represents a paradigm shift in our understanding of the pathogenesis of these neoplasms. Importantly, the realization that a distinct sub-population of cells contributes disproportionately to the growth and sustenance of central nervous system tumors has important implications for the treatment of such tumors. To treat CNS tumors, there is now a growing need to treat CSCs to achieve adequate tumor control.

Описание: To demonstrate the connection between academic neuroanatomy and the practice of clinical neurology, this innovative textbook presents carefully chosen clinical cases that illustrate how the nervous system is constructed and how it functions under normal circumstances. Providing the foundation needed to encounter neurological diseases, it teaches students and residents how to integrate a patient?s clinical history and examination with neuroanatomy. In addition to color illustrations throughout, the book adds an invaluable DVD for further exploration and access to a state-of-the-art website with additional materials that are updated periodically.
