"The question of why an individual would actively kill itself has long been an evolutionary mystery. Pierre Durand's ambitious manuscript answers this question through close inspection of life and death in the earliest cellular life. It turns out that cell death is a fascinating lens through which to examine the interconnectedness, in evolutionary terms, of life and death. It is a truism to note that one does not exist without the other, but just how does this play out in evolutionary history? These two processes have been studied from philosophical, theoretical, experimental, and genomic angles, but no one has yet integrated the information from these various disciplines. In this work, Durand synthesizes cellular studies of life and death looking at the origin of life, and the evolutionary significance of programmed cellular death.The exciting and unexpected outcome of Durand's work is the realization that life and death exhibit features of coevolution. The evolution of more complex cellular life depended on the coadaptation between traits that promote life and those that promote death. In an ironic twist, it becomes clear that, in many circumstances, programmed cell death is essential for sustaining life" --

This is the companion volume to Daniel Klionsky's Autophagy: Lower Eukaryotes, which features the basic methods in autophagy covering yeasts and alternative fungi. Klionsky is one of the leading authorities in the field. He is the editor-in-chief of Autophagy. The November 2007 issue of Nature Reviews highlighted his article, "Autophagy: from phenomenology to molecular understanding in less than a decade.? He is currently editing guidelines for the field, with 230 contributing authors that will publish in Autophagy.Particularly in times of stress, like sta

Programmed cell death is a common pattern of growth and development in both animals and plants. However, programmed cell death and related processes are not as generally recognized as central to plant growth. This is changing fast and is becoming more of a focus of intensive research. This edited work will bring under one cover recent reviews of programmed cell death, apoptosis and senescence.Summaries of the myriad aspects of cell death in plants Discussion of the broadest implications of these disparate results A unification of fields where there has been no cross talk

Présentation de l'éditeur : "D'abord objet de réflexion des philosophes, avec le progrès des connaissances, la mort concerne des champs variés d analyse. Sur les trois thèmes de la mort observée (mort pensée, vécue, recensée, légiférée), la mort expliquée (mort des organites, des cellules, des organismes, des espèces), la mort repoussée (mort retardée par le mode de vie, mort différée grâce aux biotechnologies) soixante questions sont posées. Un biologiste et un juriste ont collaboré pour donner à chacune une brève réponse"

This book aids in understanding the importance and necessity of the role of autophagy in health and disease, especially in the studies of cancer, aging, neurodegeneration, immunology, and infectious diseases. It acts as a guide to both cellular processes and their potentially important connections.

Quatrième de couverture : "Notre souci de repousser les limites de la vieillesse et de percer les secrets de l’immortalité est plus que jamais d’actualité. Les progrès de la médecine et les remarquables avancées de la biologie ont multiplié le nombre de centenaires et trouvé dans nos gènes les clés de la longévité. Hélène Merle-Béral décrit dans ce livre non seulement les avancées médicales, mais aussi les étonnantes perspectives, qui entremêlent biotechnologies et intelligence artificielle pour construire l’homme nouveau du « transhumanisme ». Le fantasme de quelques savants fous est devenu une réalité concrète. L’homme développe la biologie et invente les biotechnologies qui lui permettent de se modifier lui-même. De quoi susciter durablement de nouveaux rêves d’immortalité. Hélène Merle-Béral est médecin, professeur d’hématologie à l’université Pierre-et-Marie-Curie-Paris-VI. Spécialiste des leucémies, elle a dirigé le service d’hématologie biologique de l’hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière. Elle est l’auteur de 17 femmes prix Nobel de sciences, qui a été un grand succès"
