Description for Cytoskeleton and Small G Proteins
Hardback. This work focuses on a family of cellular proteins which transmit signals in the form of small molecules outside the cell, the Rho Ras-like GTPases, and examines their role in normal cellular processes and development. Also discussed are their roles in cancer formation and microbial pathogenesis. Editor(s): Jeanteur, Philippe. Series: Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology / Marine Molecular Biotechnology. Num Pages: 246 pages, 3 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: MF; PSBC; PSF; PSX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 15. Weight in Grams: 1170.
Animal cells present an extreme variability in their shapes in relation to their physiological properties. For instance, fibroblastic cells are tightly attached to the extra-cellular matrix and display a flattened, spindle-shaped morphology. Neuronal cells self-organize as a network through a complex branching of dendrites and a long axonal extension. Resting peripheral blood lymphocytes are poorly adhesive and maintain a spherical, smooth shape, while macroph- ages produce many pseudopodal extensions involved in the recognition of foreign molecules. In addition to the variability of the morphology of the cells that constitute different organs, many cell types also modify dynamically their morphology in ... Read more
