Signalling Networks In Cell Shape And Motility - No 269
This book features contributions from experts in cell biology, genetics, neurobiology, immunology and structural biology. The unifying element is that they all study processes of cell shape change and motility. Several key questions in this field of research are discussed:
What are the organising principles behind cell shape change?
Are there master switches present in every cell type?
How are extracellular signals interpreted by the cell in order to activate intracellular mechanisms?
What is the influence of the extracellular matrix on cell movement and internal signalling pathways?
How do pathogens subvert cellular systems in order to stimulate or block their uptake?
The book addresses all of these important questions. Data are presented on the key proteins that regulate cell shape: the GTP binding proteins of the Rho family. There are also extensive discussions of the potential applications of the data to clinical...

Ventilator-induced Lung Injury
This reference surveys current best practices in the prevention and management of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and spans the many pathways and mechanisms of VILI including cell injury and repair, the modulation of alveolar-capillary barrier properties, and lung and systemic inflammatory consequences of injurous mechanical ventilation.
Considering many emerging therapeutic options, this guide also reviews the wide array of clinical studies on lung protection strategies and approaches to ARDS patients at risk for VILI.
