Molecular Processes in Chondrocyte Biology

Modeling chondrocyte patterns by elliptical cluster processes.

Superficial zone chondrocytes (CHs) of human joints are spatially organized in distinct horizontal patterns. Among other factors, the type of spatial CH organization within a given articular surface depends on whether the cartilage has been derived from an intact joint or the joint is affected by osteoarthritis (OA). Furthermore, specific variations of the type of spatial organization are assoc...

Ultrafast Processes in Biology

Recent advances in the generation of subpicosecond pulses (Fork et al., 1981), their amplification (Fork et al., 1982; Migus et al., 1982), and their use in the production of white light continua (Migus et al., 1982a) along with improved time resolution in single-photon counting experiments (Murao et al., 1982; Rigler etal., 1984), for example, have made the study of fast biological processes m...

Physical Processes in Radiation Biology

several thousand sets of quotation marks, parentheses, and italics. Hardly a page in the book does not have at least a dozen words in quotations unnecessarily. Despite these objections there is much useful information in the book, which would be well for physicians to know. The book is at its best when it discusses sex education of the child and parental attitudes toward children. It is at its ...

Methods in Molecular Biology

For almost 30 years, biological scientists have come to rely on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series. The series was the first to introduce the step-by-step protocols approach that has become the standard in all biomedical protocol publishing. Each protocol is provided in readilyreproducible step-by-step fashion, opening with a...
