Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vision is one of the most important senses for humans. The retina is a part of the central nervous system (CNS) located in the eye, being essential for the initial process of vision. Therefore, diseases or traumatic injury of the retina seriously affect normal life. Generally speaking, lower vertebrates such as fishes and amphibians are endowed with excellent abilities to self-repair/self-regenerate their missing body-parts including the retina after a traumatic injury, but mysteriously such a capability tends to decrease in higher vertebrates; for example, humans regenerative capacity is quite low. Such a tendency in the evolution of regenerative ability is paradoxical because restoration of missing body-parts seems profitable for every animal. This biological mystery remains to be uncovered, but once it is brought to light, innovative (or ultimate) medical treatments of which we often dream in scientific fiction would have a reality. Today, biological and medical studies on the retinal repair/regeneration are progressing vigorously. The purpose of this book is to provide the most up-to-date findings about the strategies for retinal repair/regeneration in vertebrates to under- and post-graduate students and researchers in the department of biology and medicine as well as to doctors in hospitals. Here regenerative medicine is considered to be one of the strategies used by humans who can manipulate wisdom. The retina of vertebrates is a homologous tissue (or phylogenetically identical). The constituent cells of a retina and their organization as well as the retinal ontogeny are highly conserved during phylogeny. Therefore, a systematic comparison is feasible to clarify the similarities and differences in the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying retinal repair/regeneration between animals. The animals appearing in this book are the teleost fishes (goldfish, zebrafish), urodele amphibians (newts), anuran amphibians (Xenopus), birds (chicken), marsupials (Brazilian opossum) and mammals (rat, mouse, humans). The readers will likely see the common cellular mechanisms and molecular pathways between the strategies for retinal self-repair/self-regeneration in lower vertebrates and the strategies for retinal repair/regeneration in mammals. This book proves the necessity of comparative studies of latent abilities of retinal self-repair/self-regeneration in vertebrates to get clues to promote our retinal repair/regeneration safely and efficiently. During a period of making this book, Dr. Victor Ivanovich Mitashov, a great leader of the field of regeneration and a co-author of my chapter in this book, died on the 24th of April 2007, just after submission of our manuscript to the publisher Research Signpost. Receiving such sadden news, I could not find any words, but the contributors of this book asked me to make a separate section in memory of him at the beginning of the book and to dedicate this book to him. Immediately I asked Mr. N. J. Sudarsan, the General Manager of Research Signpost and Dr. S. G. Pandalai, the Managing Editor about these. They generously accepted our proposal. Here I would like to express a special thanks to them on behalf of the contributors, and personally to the contributors. Thank you very much .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When most types of human tissue are damaged, they repair themselves by forming a scar - a mechanically strong 'patch' that restores structural integrity to the tissue without restoring physiological function. Much better, for a patient, would be like-for-like replacement of damaged tissue with something functionally equivalent: there is currently an intense international research effort focused on this goal. This timely book addresses key topics in tissue regeneration in a sequence of linked chapters, each written by world experts; understanding normal healing; sources of, and methods of using, stem cells; construction and use of scaffolds; and modelling and assessment of regeneration. The book is intended for an audience consisting of advanced students, and research and medical professionals.

This book was released on 2008-02-03 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process whereby a single cell, the fertilized egg, develops into an adult has fascinated for centuries. Great progress in understanding that process, h- ever, has been made in the last two decades, when the techniques of molecular biology have become available to developmental biologists. By applying these techniques, the exact nature of many of the interactions responsible for forming the body pattern are now being revealed in detail. Such studies are a large, and it seems ever-expanding, part of most life-science groups. It is at newcomers to this field that this book is primarily aimed. A number of different plants and animals serve as common model org- isms for developmental studies. In Molecular Methods in Developmental Bi- ogy: Xenopus and Zebrafish, a range of the molecular methods applicable to two of these organisms are described, these are the South African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, and the zebrafish, Brachydanio rerio. The embryos of both of these species develop rapidly and externally, making them particularly suited to investigations of early vertebrate development. However, both Xenopus and zebrafish have their own advantages and disadvantages. Xenopus have large, robust embryos that can be manipulated surgically with ease, but their pseudotetraploidy and long generation time make them unsuitable candidates for genetics. This disadvantage may soon be overcome by using the diploid Xenopus tropicalis, and early experiments are already underway. The transp- ent embryos of zebrafish render them well-suited for in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, and good for observing mutations in genetic screens.

This book was released on 2018-10-05 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microglia are essential for the development and function of the adult brain. Their ontogeny, together with the absence of turnover from the periphery and the singular environment of the central nervous system (CNS), make microglia a unique cell population compared to other tissue-macrophages. The unique properties and functions of microglial cells, such as their role in synaptic pruning or the exceptional capacity to scan the brain parenchyma and rapidly react to its perturbations, have emerged in recent years. In the coming years, understanding how microglia acquire and maintain their unique profiles in order to fulfil distinct tasks in the healthy CNS and how these are altered in disease, will be essential to develop strategies to diagnose or treat CNS disorders with an immunological component. This Research Topic covers several aspects of microglial biology, ranging from their origin and the functional role of microglia during development and lifespan, their molecular properties compared with other brain and peripheral immune cells to microglial phenotypes and functional states in neurodegenerative diseases and brain tumours. In conclusion, the present Research Topic provides a comprehensive overview of our current understanding of several cellular and molecular mechanisms that make microglia a unique immune cell population within the healthy CNS as well as under inflammatory, neurodegenerative and tumorigenic processes.
