No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781646475247

In biology, symmetry breaking refers to the process of breaking of uniformity or reducing the number of points to view invariance in order to produce a more improbable and structured state. It occurs when symmetry with a specific axis is lost in order to create polarity. This polarity helps the biological system in differentiating between different poles along an axis. Cells must first establish polarity by a symmetry-breaking event, before organs and tissues become polar. The fact that symmetry breaking occurs at all scales reflects its importance in biology. It can be found at the subcellular level, macromolecular level, and even at the organ and tissue levels. This book provides significant information to help develop a good understanding of symmetry breaking in biology. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.

Signal Transduction in Health and Disease: Volume 31
This volume contains papers presented at the Ninth International Conference on Second Messengers and Phosphoproteins. Written by leading scientists - including two Nobel Laureates - the papers highlight contemporary advances in the rapidly evolving field of signal transduction. The findings presented are of vital significance to researchers in virtually all biomedical fields, including pharmacology, molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, the neurosciences, and physiology.The contributors offer new insights into fundamental cell signalling mechanisms and explore the role of these mechanisms in physiological and pathophysiological responses in a variety of systems. Coverage includes many topics that are currently under intensive study, such as growth factors and special signalling systems&#x3b; protein phosphatases and metabolic pathways&#x3b; calcium and ion channels&#x3b; cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP&#x3b; and receptors and G proteins.
