  | | Caveolae and Lipid Rafts(1st Edition) Roles in Signal Transduction and the Pathogenesis of Human Disease, Volume 36 (Advances in Molecular and Cell Biology) by Edward Bittar, Philippe Frank, Michael Lisanti, Elsevier Science Hardcover, 264 Pages, Published 2005 by Elsevier Science ISBN-13: 978-0-444-51500-1, ISBN: 0-444-51500-3 "Caveolae (latin for little caves) are small structures found at the surface of cells. They are responsible for the regulation of important metabolic pathway. As a consequence, they may play a critical role in several human diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, and muscular dystrophies. This book analyzes the role and function of caveolae in these aspects and serves as the first textbook currently available on caveolae/cave ..." |
 | | Biological Psychiatry, Volume 14(1st Edition) (Principles of Medical Biology) by Edward Bittar, Neville Bittar, Elsevier Science Hardcover, 641 Pages, Published 2000 by Elsevier Science ISBN-13: 978-1-55938-819-1, ISBN: 1-55938-819-6 "It is now widely recognised that biological psychiatry is rapidly coming into its own. For over the last three decades dramatic advances in this young discipline have been made, all of which attest to the staying power of the experimental method. Those who made this revolution in knowledge happen are a breed of investigators availing themselves of the tools of molecular biology, pharmacology, genetics, and perhaps, above all, the techno ..." |

 | | Aspects of the Cytoskeleton, Volume 37(1st Edition) Advances in Molecular and Cell Biology by Seema Khurana, E. Edward Bittar, Elsevier Science Hardcover, 384 Pages, Published 2006 by Elsevier Science ISBN-13: 978-0-444-52868-1, ISBN: 0-444-52868-7 "This volume provides an overview of the cytoskeleton particularly on the fundamental role the cytoskeleton plays in the regulation of cell structure and function. This book represents new trends in cytoskeletal research that go beyond the traditional approach of identifying new proteins in the cytoskeleton, but actually define how these proteins interact with signaling pathways. While the major emphasis in this volume remains on the mic ..." |
 | | Cell Polarity, Volume 26(1st Edition) (Advances in Molecular and Cell Biology) by James R. Bartles, E. Edward Bittar, Elsevier Science Hardcover, 258 Pages, Published 1998 by Elsevier Science ISBN-13: 978-0-7623-0381-6, ISBN: 0-7623-0381-6 "Few cells conform to the stereotype of the spherical blob hastily scribbled on chalkboards and, regrettably, sometimes even displayed prominently in textbooks. Instead, real cells display a remarkable degree of structural and functional asymmetry. In modern cell biological parlance, this asymmetry has come to be lumped under the general heading of "cell polarity". Cell polarity is by no means restricted to the cells of tissues and organ ..." |
 | | Membranes and Cell Signaling(1st Edition) by Editor-Edward Bittar, Neville Bittar, Elsevier Science Hardcover, 637 Pages, Published 1997 by Elsevier Science ISBN-13: 978-1-55938-812-2, ISBN: 1-55938-812-9 "It should not come as too much of a surprise that biological membranes are considerably more complex than lipid bilayers. This has been made quite clear by the fluid-mosaic model which considers the cell membrane as a two-dimensional solution of a mosaic of integral membrane proteins and glycoproteins firmly embedded in a fluid lipid bilayer matrix. Such a model has several virtues, chief among which is that it allows membrane component ..." |
 | | Cellular Organelles and the Extracellular Matrix(1st Edition) Cellular Organelles and the Extracellular Matrix: Vol.3 Volume 3 (Hardback) by Editor-Edward Bittar, Neville Bittar, Elsevier Science Hardcover, 292 Pages, Published 1996 by Elsevier Science ISBN-13: 978-1-55938-804-7, ISBN: 1-55938-804-8 "This volume is in two parts. The first contains the remaining chapters on cellular organelles and several chapters relating to organelle disorders. An account of mitochondriopathis is given in the chapter on the mitochondrion rather than in a separate one. The subject matter of this part of the volume shows quite clearly that the interdisciplinary approach to the study of organelles has shed considerable light on the nature of the mecha ..." |
 | | Cell Chemistry and Physiology(1st Edition) Part IV, Volume 4D (Principles of Medical Biology) by Edward Bittar, Elsevier Science, Evelyn Edward Bittar Hardcover, 512 Pages, Published 1996 by Elsevier Science ISBN-13: 978-1-55938-808-5, ISBN: 1-55938-808-0 "This volume is intended to complete the Cell Chemistry and physiology module. It is about how the traditional boundaries of cell chemistry and physiology are being erased by molecular biology. We do not think it necessary to elaborate on this theme, particularly since the body of core knowledge found in this volume brings us a stage closer to answering the question, "what makes cell biology into a new discipline?"The first part of the v ..." |
 | | Cell Chemistry and Physiology(1st Edition) Part II, Volume 4B (Principles of Medical Biology) (Vol 4B) by Edward Bittar, Elsevier Science, Neville Bittar Hardcover, 416 Pages, Published 1996 by Elsevier Science ISBN-13: 978-1-55938-806-1, ISBN: 1-55938-806-4 "This volume illustrates the extent to which the traditional distinction between biochemical and physiological processes is being obliterated by molecular biology. It can hardly be doubted that the revolution in cell and molecular biology is leading to core knowledge that provides an outline of the integrative and reductionist approach. We view this as the beginning of a new era, that of the integration of learning.As in the preceding vo ..." |

It is not intended to be encyclopedic in nature but rather a general survey of the subject with an emphasis on those topics that are central to an understanding of cell biology and those that are certain to become of increasing importance in the teaching of modern medicine.We have followed what appeared to as to be the logical d ..." |

 | | The Biology of the Pancreatic &Bgr;-Cell, Volume 29(1st Edition) (Advances in Molecular and Cell Biology) by S.L. Howell, Simon L. Howell, E. Edward Bittar, Elsevier Science Hardcover, 354 Pages, Published 1999 by Elsevier Science ISBN-13: 978-0-7623-0547-6, ISBN: 0-7623-0547-9 "As a result of the key advances made more than 30 years ago, specifically the ability to isolate islets of Langerhans from the pancreas, the ability to measure insulin accurately by immunoasay, and the development of microchemical techniques for studying cells and their components, many research volumes, symposium reports, and original papers have been produced. This explosion of interest has probably had at least three stimuli:1. the ..." |

It need not be encyclopedic in scope nor didactic, but it should emphasise principles and concepts. Any existing gaps in this type of presentation are, of course, left for the student to fill.Some subject material has been excluded. An example ..." |
 | | Some Aspects of Oncology, Volume 1(1st Edition) (Advances in Oncobiology) by Gloria H.

A chapter on secondary active glucose transport has been omitted because this topic is slated to appear in the Nephrobiology module. Chapter 6 deals with oxidase control of plasma membrane proton transport, while chapter 7 addresses the question of how cell volume is regulated. Although we chose not to have a separate chapter covering ..." |
 | | Molecular and Cellular Genetics, Volume 5(1st Edition) (Principles of Medical Biology) by Edward Bittar, Neville Bittar Hardcover, 412 Pages, Published 1996 by Elsevier Science ISBN-13: 978-1-55938-809-2, ISBN: 1-55938-809-9 "The tools of molecular biology have revolutionised our understanding of gene structure and function and changed the teaching of genetics in a fundamental way. The transition from classical genetics to molecular genetics was initiated by two discoveries. One was the discovery that DNA has a complementary double helix structure and the other that a universal genetic code does exist. Both led to the acceptance of the central dogma that RNA ..." |

Tentative in the sense that facts and theories are often kept clear and distinct, and alternative ways of thinking are suggested. Thus, if the thoughtful student not only comprehends the significance of this subject, but goes on to develop an ..." |
