This volume expands our view of a subject that is important for plant biotechnology, genetics, cell biology, development, and agricultural applications. All chapters present the latest research progress, including functional genomic, genetic, and proteomic approaches. A special focus is placed on the effects of stress, environment, and plant growth regulators. http://rapidshare.com/files/12817387/sombryogenesis.rar OR http://www.springerlink.com/content/978-3-540-28717-9/ §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ Gandhi An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments With Truth Biography | ISBN 0807059099 | 1993 Year | PDF | 1.9 Mb | 269 Pages Gandhi’s nonviolent struggles in South Africa and India had already brought him to such a level of notoriety, adulation, and controversy that when asked to write an autobiography midway through his career, he took it as an opportunity to explain himself. Although accepting of his status as a great innovator in the struggle against racism, violence, and, just then, colonialism, Gandhi feared that enthusiasm for his ideas tended to exceed a deeper understanding. He says that he was after truth rooted in devotion to God and attributed the turning points, successes, and challenges in his life to the will of God. His attempts to get closer to this divine power led him to seek purity through simple living, dietary practices (he called himself a fruitarian), celibacy, and ahimsa, a life without violence. It is in this sense that he calls his book The Story of My Experiments with Truth, offering it also as a reference for those who would follow in his footsteps. A reader expecting a complete accounting of his actions, however, will be sorely disappointed. http://rapidshare.com/files/19326579/Gandhiji.pdf OR http://depositfiles.com/files/667752 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moreover, activation of this transcription factor helps a wide variety of cell types survive damage induced by pro-apoptotic stimuli. Owing to its critical role in the regulation of pro-inflammatory genes, NF-kB has long been regarded as a promising target for the discovery of anti-inflammatory drugs. More recently, NF-kB has emerged as a major culprit in a variety of human cancers mainly due to its ability to protect transformed cells from apoptosis. This finding should not have come as a surprise since there exists a link between inflammation and cancer which was already suggested by Galen and later demonstrated by Virchow. This link, of crucial importance for the design of novel strategies for cancer treatment, is the topic of this book. http://rapidshare.com/files/19203201/The.L...-0387262822.rar §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis 4 Edition | 1082 Pages The Fourth Edition of Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis continues to be an indispensable reference for controlling the reactivity of the most common functional groups during a synthetic sequence.

Cytokines play a variety of roles in cancer, both as components of pathogenetic mechanisms, as well as agents used in the treatment of certain malignancies. To date, there has not been a book that covers both basic science and translational/clinical research in the field of cytokines in malignancies. This book is written by leading figures in the field of cytokine biology and cytokine therapeutics and is specifically focused on this subject. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is focused on current developments in the basic science field. There is a particular emphasis on novel mechanisms of cytokine actions in malignant cells. The second part deals with translational and clinical research in the field, and many of the authors of these chapters were among the first to introduce several cytokines in the treatment of certain tumors. Collectively, the information provided in this book will be helpful to people in the medical field at several levels, including medical students, interns, residents, clinical and basic science researchers, as well as oncologists in practice. http://rapidshare.com/files/19332973/p_cytacan.rar http://mihd.net/9t6xrh PASSWORD: miau §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ Signal Transduction in Cancer (Cancer Treatment and Research) 336 Pages One of the most exciting areas of cancer research now is the development of agents which can target signal transduction pathways that are activated inappropriately in malignant cells.

It is, however, very terse. Without some background in inorganic and organic chemistry, I doubt it would be very usable. More detail on the typical effects the different classes of phytochemicals would make it an even more useful book. Still, assuming you have some chemistry background, a very good introduction to the subject, particularly if combined with a text like The Natural History of Medicinal Plants, which fleshes out other basic issues. http://rapidshare.com/files/19470636/tcomd.rar.html http://depositfiles.com/files/561337 §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ From Messengers to Molecules Memories are Made of These Pages:640 The decade of the brain has brought us a few steps closer to some of the key questions in neuroscience. The complexity of memory is seen on the systems and cellular level, and different types of memory are implemented in several cellular changes that can interact, or work independently. From Messengers to Molecules: Memories are Made of These, follows the arguments from different research teams for their particular area of expertise. All chapters are written to stand-alone and provide an up-to-date introduction to the topic for both specialists and novices alike. As a result, a comprehensive compendium covering cellular mechanisms contributing to memory formation in an unusual breadth has emerged. This books will be of interest to researchers working on the pharmacology, physiology and genetics of memory formation, clinicians memory disorders, industry and students in advanced courses in Neuroscience or Pharmacology. http://rapidshare.com/files/18919450/mesg2molc.rar.html §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ Buzz: The Science and Lore of Alcohol and Caffeine 228 pages Now a producer at the New England Research Institutes, science writer Braun engagingly describes the chemistry, metabolism, physiological and behavioral effects, and reputed health benefits of the world's two most popular drugs: alcohol and caffeine.

Weinberg, Robin Buchholz Book Description: Over the last decade, the advent of biologic agents has greatly revolutionized therapeutic medicine in the management of chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and psoriasis. Elucidation of the complex web of cytokine network and the roles of these cytokines in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disorders provided one of the key catalysts for the advancement of targeted biologic therapy in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. TNF-alpha is known to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of many chronic inflammatory diseases. Elevated levels of TNF-alpha have been demonstrated in Crohn’s disease, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, suggesting a role for TNF-alpha in their pathogenesis. Although TNF-alpha plays a critical role in the activation of innate and acquired immune responses, the persistence of the immune response and inappropriate production of TNF-alpha can produce pathological changes resulting from chronic inflammation and tissue damage. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the development, pharmacology, efficacy, and safety of the currently available TNF-alpha inhibitors – etanercept, infliximab, and adalimumab. The most recent preclinical and clinical data is presented on this topic, which should be of interest to the preclinical researcher, the clinician, and the patient who wants to learn more about these therapies. http://upload2.net/page/download/HI9nu3jJM...bitors.pdf.html §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ Human Drug Metabolism Product Details Book Publisher: John Wiley & Sons (18 November, 2005) ISBN: 0470863536 Book author: Michael Coleman Amazon Rating: Book Description: Drug metabolism is a core area of pharmacology.

The result is I only insist on stuff like the CRC and Merck Index be treeware, almost everything else I just read at the comp when I'm having coffee, eating, or simply have spare time so I havent really investigated portable options.

glimpse Posted August 3, 2012 this one is pretty cool, but i think i may have originally got the link from here a while ago...anyways its worth a looksee http://leftinthedark.org.uk/book Description Left in the Dark expounds the most radical reinterpretation of existing evidence from the disciplines of evolution, ecology, neurology, psychology, anthropology and other academic fields, whilst also placing the ancient ‘Ages of Mankind’ mythology and related traditions within a scientific context. These universal traditions were once the only version of history we had, they describe the onset and progression of a neurodegenerative condition that really has left us in the dark. Often considered no more than the imaginings of a primitive mind and easy to dismiss as mere myths, they are in fact a more accurate natural history of humankind than modern science has thus far recognised. The book outlines the origin and nature of a condition that eventually left us virtually blind to its existence. Evidence is cited that supports such a scenario. A means of definitively testing its validity is proposed and most importantly what can be done to treat the condition and prevent its occurrence. While this may seem a challenging prospect it promises amongst other things the restoration of phenomenal abilities, exceptional immune function and most importantly a greatly enhanced state of mind and well being only rarely glimpsed by a tiny minority. The revised 2nd edition of 'Left in the Dark' with a foreword by Dr Dennis McKenna is now available. A neurodegenerative theory, such as the one outlined in Left in the Dark, which proposes that the development of our brain has become seriously retarded would accurately predict a number of major psychological symptoms. For example making sense of who or what we are or recognising the insanity of our day to day behaviour would be virtually impossible. Furthermore such a theory would predict that even if there were overwhelming evidence to support such a scenario we would be slow to understand the context, specific nature and severity of our predicament, even if it were pointed out in laypersons language… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
