$149.95

"International Review of Cytology presents current advances and comprehensive reviews in cell biology both plant and animal. Authored by some of the foremost scientists in the field, each volume provides up-to-date information and directions for future research. Articles in this volume address Calpain proteases in cell adhesion and motility; Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b) and programmed cell death in the vertebrate retina; Molecular Mechanism of Apoptosis Induced by Mechanical Forces; Cellular functions of ER chaperones Calreticulin, calnexin, and Erp57; Plasticity of nonapeptidergic neurosecretory cells in connection with the discovery of neurosecretion; Interactions between virus proteins and host cell membranes during viral life cycle; Nerve ending "signal" proteins GAP-43, MARCKS and BASP1.

Neurobiology of Spinal Cord Injury by Robert G. Kalb, ISBN 0896036723

Distinguished researchers review the latest scientific understanding of spinal cord injury (SCI), focusing on the mechanisms causing paralysis after spinal cord trauma, the molecular determinants of neural regeneration, and methods for improving damaged function. The authors examine the role of intracellular Ca2+ in neuronal death, the possibility of spinal learning, growth-promoting molecules for regenerating neurons, and the biochemistry and cell biology of microtubules. Among the treatment possibilities discussed are cell transplantation strategies beyond the use of fetal spinal cord tissue, remyelination in spinal cord demyelination models, high steroid therapy immediately after SCI, and the mixed use of anti- and proinflammatories. Comprehensive and highly promising, Neurobiology of Spinal Cord Injury summarizes and integrates the great progress that has been made in understanding and combating the paralysis that follows spinal cord injury.

You Can Hear Me Now: How Microloans and Cell Phones Are Connecting the Worlds Poor to the Global Economy

How economic development can address unmet human needs on a large scale

Bangladeshi villagers with cell phones helped build what is now a thriving $200 million company. What is the lesson for the rest of the world? This is a question author Nick Sullivan addresses in the tale of a new kind of entrepreneur, Iqbal Quadir.

Sullivan provides a new approach to building business opportunity in the developing world through a compelling account of what he calls the " external combustion engine" – a combination of market elements and forces that is already lifting people out of poverty in the Third World. The " engine" comprises three outside forces: information technology, imported by native entrepreneurs trained in the West, backed by foreign investors. Focusing primarily on the gripping stories of fast-growing cell phone companies, particularly Bangladesh’ s renowned GrameenPhone, the book describes an inclusive capitalism that engages and enables many of the...
