Description for Mitochondrial DNA, Mitochondria, Disease and Stem Cells
hardcover. This book shows how the mitochondrial genome is transmitted, segregated and inherited. Opens by describing mtDNA mutations and deletions and showing how these impact the offspring's well-being, covers mtDNA transmission and discusses transmittal and adaptation. Editor(s): St. John, Justin. Series: Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. Num Pages: 190 pages, 5 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PSAK; PSF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 243 x 161 x 18. Weight in Grams: 440.
This volume investigates how the mitochondrial genome is transmitted, segregated, and inherited. It starts by describing mtDNA mutations and deletions and how these impact on the offspring’s well-being. It progresses to discuss how mutations to the mtDNA-nuclear-encoded transcription, replication and translational factors lead to mtDNA-depletion syndromes and how these affect cellular function and lead to the pathology of human mitochondrial disease. It also highlights the importance of the mitochondrial assembly factors and how mutations to these can lead to mitochondrial disease. The reader is then introduced to how mtDNA is transmitted through the oocyte and how stem cells can be ... Read more
