Principles of Molecular Regulationby P. Michael Conn
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Principles of Molecular Regulation comprehensively describes the processes by which the brain acts as an endocrine organ to control hormonal functions, maintain homeostasis, and regulate behavior. The book describes basic neuroendocrine processes and presents them in a manner relative to clinical settings, thus providing an interface between basic and clinical observations. The authors are well recognized scientists and physicians selected for their contributions and facility of expression. This volume will be used by basic scientists and graduate students as well as clinicians, residents, interns and medical students. Physicians wishing to understand physiological principles will also find this book useful. Book News Annotation:Conn (Oregon Health Sciences U. and Oregon Regional Primate Research
Center) and Means (pharmacology, Duke U.) have gathered 27 papers
that survey the state of membrane receptor initiated cell signaling
and nuclear receptor-initiated gene regulation. The material covers
and integrates work from the fields of molecular biology, cell
biology, and endocrinology. The papers are organized into sections
discussing signaling mechanisms initiated by cell surface receptors;
signaling mechanisms mediated by ion channels, calcium, and lipids;
cyclic AMP, protein kinases, and protein phosphates; signaling
mechanisms initiated by nuclear receptors; molecular regulation of
cell proliferation and death; and rational drug discovery.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:P. Michael Conn and Anthony Means have successfully assembled a panel of leading investigators to provide an integrated review of the key areas-membrane receptor-initiated cell signaling and nuclear-receptor initiated gene regulation. Chosen for the excellence of their research, these distinguished authors illuminate the molecular machinery underlying the regulatory processes of cells. In addition to their comprehensive review of the signaling mechanisms involving cell surface receptors, nuclear receptors, and ion channels, they detail the roles of calcium, lipids, cyclic AMP, protein kinases, and protein phosphatases. Capturing the excitement now present at this vibrant union of molecular biology, cell biology, and endocrinology, Principles of Molecular Regulation constitutes a major new resource for understanding the many and complex elements of biological regulation. Its up-to-date critical synthesis is certain to prove of high value to all basic and clinical investigators working with these processes today.
