Adhesion Protein Protocols
An international corps of expert investigators describe their optimized techniques for both the identification of new cell adhesion proteins and for the characterization of novel adhesive structures. Their cutting edge methods will enable both novice and experienced researchers readily to identify and clone new adhesion proteins, to successfully produce inhibitors of the adhesive activity, to develop biological models for the assay of cell-to-matrix and cell-to-cell adhesion in vitro, and to measure the signaling activities of adhesion proteins. By illuminating these adhesive molecules and the possibilities for manipulating them, the new experimental strategies collected here will have considerable clinical potential for the regulation of immunity, inflammation, tissue remodeling, and embryonic development.

Comparative Testicular Biology in Animals: Structure, Functions, and Intercellular Communication
A comparison of testicular biology in animals including humans is required for understanding the formation of normal spermatozoa, the production of steroidal, and non-steroidal substances required for endocrine, and paracrine, and autocrine regulatory mechanisms in the testis. Knowledge of comparative biology of testis in animals is also essential for the proper pathological evalution of abnormalities in the structure and functions of testis in animals which are being increasingly exposed to xenobiotic factors including chemicals, radiation, and temperature. The objective of this book is to present a review on the structure, functions, and intercellular communication of testis in different groups of animals.

The Molecular Basis of Cell Cycle and Growth Control
Cell cycle, one of the major cornerstones of biology, is an intricate and complex series of events in the growth of a cell and culminates in cell division. Important and continuing advances in understanding control of proliferation at the cellular, biochemical and molecular levels has illuminated possible therapeutic strategies for treating deadly diseases that are caused by defects in the cell cycle, such as cancer. Cell cycle and growth control has therefore become one of the fastest paced and exciting areas in biomedical research. This book introduces the biological problem of cell cycle control within a historical context, using a broad spectrum of model systems that have provided the foundation for our current understanding of growth control in mammalian cells.
