Wat betekent het om te leven? Bioloog en Nobelprijswinnaar Sir Paul Nurse legt de vijf basisbegrippen van de biologie uit. Hij neemt ons mee in de wondere wereld van de cel, het gen, natuurlijke selectie, stofwisseling en overleving. Op elegante en toegankelijke wijze onthult hij hoe het leven zich ontvouwt en beantwoordt zo misschien wel de belangrijkste vraag in de wetenschap.

Altijd moe? Of net een opgejaagd gevoel en een hoge hartslag? Er maar niet ins lagen om te vermageren? Of gewicht verliezen zonder dat je weet waarom? Rillen van de kou? Zweten? Het kunnen allemaal symptomen zijn van een verstoorde werking van de schildklier. Ongeveer één op tien mensen krijgt ooit problemen met de schildklier.De schildklier regelt de energiehuishouding van ons lichaam. Maar ze doet nog veel meer. Het is een klein orgaan met een enorm grote impact. De hormonen die de schildklier produceert, zijn onmisbaar voor tal van andere organen en lichaamsfuncties. 20 gram (ofzelfs nog minder) van levensbelang!https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/de-schildklier-9789072201294

Metabolic programs of individuals are key determinants for disease susceptibility and immune response. This book, edited by experts in the field, summarizes epigenetic signaling pathways that regulate metabolic programs associated with cancer and cancer-related secondary diseases. The first part of the book highlights key metabolic pathways that are implicated in cancer and provides a comprehensive overview on the carbohydrate, protein, lipid, amino- and nucleic acid metabolic pathways that are deregulated in cancer. Special attention is paid to the altered tumor micro-environment that is influenced by the metabolic milieu. Furthermore, the fundamental relationship between the cellular metabolic environment and cell death-mediated autophagy is discussed. The second part of the book covers our understanding of the fundamental epigenetic regulations that are implicated in controlling the metabolic programs in cancer cells. Many aspects of epigenetic regulation of non-coding RNAs as well as DNA/RNA methylation, which influencing metabolic homeostasis in cancer, are discussed in detail. Special emphasis is placed on the epigenetic regulation of the amino acid, glucose/carbohydrate metabolism and epigenetic regulation during hypoxia and its connection to cancer. Last but not least, the third part of the book covers small molecule modulators of histone modifying enzymes, which can be used as therapeutic tools. The readers learn about the cross-talk between epigenetics and immunometabolims, as well as the epigenetic regulation of oncometabolites to combat cancer. Given its scope, the book will appeal to a broad readership interested in epigenetic, cancer and metabolic research.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has affected nearly every country and territory in the world. Although worldwide vaccination efforts have reduced the risk of serious disease outcomes, disparities in distribution have led to multiple waves of SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks and the emergence of variants of concern, some of which have enhanced infectivity and ability to evade existing vaccines. Hence there is an increasing interest in understanding the evolution of viruses like SARS-CoV-2, as well as improving our capacity to effectively current and manage future pandemics. This new volume reviews the most effective omic techniques for increasing our understanding of COVID-19, to improve diagnostics, prognostics, and genomic surveillance, and to facilitate development of effective treatments and vaccines. Chapters are written by an international team of experts and explore methods in the areas of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Techniques used to assess physiological function at the molecular level and artificial intelligence approaches used for more effective validation and translation of biomarker candidates into clinical use are also discussed. This book is an excellent resource for researchers studying biomarkers, virology, metabolic diseases, and infectious diseases, as well as clinical scientists, physicians, drug company scientists, and healthcare workers.
