ISBN: 9812703888 ISBN-13: 9789812703880 Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company OUR PRICE: $348.65 Product Type: Hardcover Published: February 2008 Annotation: This book contains the collected publications of Shinya Inoue, pioneering cell biophysicist and winner of the 2003 International Prize for Biology. It contains articles that portray the historic and fundamental attributes of the dynamic molecular filaments which are essential for cell division as well as the methods of their study directly in living cells. It presents original papers covering the discovery and elucidation of behavior in living cells and the dynamic microtubules which organize the cell and play a central role in cell division. Other articles report on the development of microscopes, especially those using polarized light and digital image enhancement, which make possible direct studies of the ever-changing molecular architecture in living cells. |

| Publisher Description: This book collects the publications of Shinya lnou , pioneering cell biophysicist and winner of the 2003 International Prize for Biology. The articles cover the discovery, and elucidate the behavior in living cells, of the dynamic molecular filaments which organize the cell and play a central role in cell division. Other articles report on the development of microscopes, especially those using polarized light and digital image enhancement, which make possible studies of the ever-changing molecular architecture directly in living cells. This book also contains many high quality photo-micrographs as well as an appended DVD with an extensive collection of video movies of active living cells. After training in Tokyo and at Princeton University, Dr Inou has held teaching positions at the University of Washington, Tokyo Metropolitan University, University of Rochester, Dartmouth Medical School, and University of Pennsylvania. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and currently holds the title of Distinguished Scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. |
