Human Brain Biochemistry

Human brain biochemistry

The human brain that serves as a center of the nervous system is structurally unique. It is extraordinarily complex and highly specialized in its distinct heterogeneous anatomical regions as its function remains a great challenge. The neuron is the functional unit that depends on special anatomical and chemical connections with other units of the system. The essential biochemical connections of...

Biochemistry of human skin--our brain on the outside.

The skin, our body's largest organ, is located at the interface between the external and internal environments, and so is strategically placed to provide not only a barrier against a range of noxious stressors (UV radiation, mechanical, chemical and biological insults) but also to act as the periphery's 'sensing' system. Recent developments suggest that this organ is much more critical to maint...

Human Biochemistry

This is followed by a symposium on cell-surface glycoconjugates, which includes discussions on expression of glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans in a variety of experimental systems. The final section, entitled "Interactions of cells with their proximal environment," consists of papers on an in vitro assay for anti-cancer compounds, cell-cell interactions in different systems, and the role of ...

Biochemistry of Human Genetics

depend upon their knowledge of fallout and their skill in minimizing personal exposure during the days and weeks following. It may help us to know and understand these hazards, but the reader will also find a great deal of general scientific interest and much good reading. The book takes the form of a series of chapters. Three have been written by the editor and the rest by experts in the subje...
