Biological aspects of human health and well-being

Preface; Control of Emerging Infectious Agents Causing Nosocomial & Community-Acquired Cross Infections in Immunocompromised Hosts; Genetic Tools Applications to Biotechnology of Cyanobacteria; Why Glucose is the Principal Source of Energy for Living Beings? & the Explanation of Human Diseases; The Evolution Biology of Health & Disease Clinical Medicine as Seen from a Darwinian Perspective; A Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship for the Gastroprotective Effect of Flavonoids Evaluated in Human Colon Adenocarcinoma HT-29 Cells; Sialylation Mechanism in Bacteria: Focused on CMP-N-Acetylneuraminic Acid Synthetases & Sialyltransferases; The Hepatocellular Dysfunction Criteria: Hepatocyte Carbohydrate Metabolizing Enzymes & Kupffer Cell Lysosomal Enzymes in 2'Nitroimidazole Effect on Amoebic Liver Abscess (Electron Microscopic -- Enzyme Approach); The Effect of Nitroimidazole on Glucokinase Enzyme Regulatory Properties: Glucokinase as Biosensor; Post-Transcriptional Effects of Estrogens on Gene Expression: Messenger RNA Stability & Translation Regulated by MicroRNAs & Other Factors; Epigenetics of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease: Genomic Imprinting & X Chromosome Inactivation; The Role of Supraspinal GABA & Glutamate in the Mediation & Modulation of Pain; Multiphoton Microscopy of Intravital Deep Ocular Tissues; Index This book presents and discusses current research in the field of biology, with a particular emphasis on biological factors and their role in health and well-being. Topics discussed include the biotechnology of cyanobacteria; the reasons why glucose is the principal source of energy for living beings; post-transcriptional effects of estrogen on gene expression; sialylation mechanism in bacteria and the evolution biology of health and disease clinical medicine from a Darwinian perspective.
