International Review of Cytology: A Survey of Cell Biology (Volume 239) (International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology, Volume 239)

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 multihormonal control of vitellogenesis in lower vertebrates; structure, evolutionary conservation and functions of angiotensin- and endothelin-converting enzymes; cell and molecular biology of nucleolar assembly and disassembly; and MAPping the eukaryotic tree of life: structure, function, and evolution of the MAP215/Dis1 family of microtubule-associated proteins.

Indeed, the egg is a little world containing genetic and metabolic equipment consisting, on the one hand, of nucleic acids and transcriptional factors and, on the other, of proteins, lipids, sugars, enzymes, hormones, vitamins, and growth factors. Presents advances and reviews in cell biology - both plant and animal. This book features articles that address multi hormonal control of vitellogenesis in lower vertebrates; structure, evolutionary conservation and functions of angiotensin and endothelin-converting enzymes.
