Molecular Mechanisms of Cell Differentiation in Gonad Development
This book presents the current state of knowledge on the origin and differentiation of cell lines involved in the development of the vertebrate male and female gonads with particular emphasis on the mouse. It also discusses the processes leading to the testis- and ovary-specific structures and functions. The individual chapters review the origin and differentiation of the somatic cells of th…

Genetic Transformation Systems in Fungi, Volume 2
Fungi are an economic very important class of microbes. Not only do they host a range of versatile enzymes used in industrial applications (biofuels, laundry, food processing), as well do they produce several very important pharmaceutical drugs (statins and penicillins). Moreover, fungal pathogens can cause great damage in agricultural production (Phytophthora and Botrytis) and during mammalian…

Stem Cells, Pre-neoplasia, and Early Cancer of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract
It remains unclear when and where Charles Darwin had his transformative idea of species evolution through random variation and selective retention. The legend goes that the fi rst inklings of the idea came to him on board the Beagle during the ship’s visit to the Galapagos Islands in the Eastern Pacifi c. Here he beheld fi nches with differently shaped beaks, which suggested local adaptat…

Stem Cells in the Lung
The last decade has witnessed significant progress in understanding the organization and regulation of regenerative cells in the adult lung. The development and refinement of multiparameter flow cytometric cell sorting protocols and in vitro clonogenic assays has enabled the identification, prospective isolation, and characterization of candidate adult lung stem and progenitor cells. Powerful…

Stem Cells in Neuroendocrinology
Techniques for manipulating neural systems in general and neuroendocrine systems in particular have matured greatly compared to the era in which nerve cell destruction and electrical stimulation provided our main tools. In theory, nerve cell groups connected with hormonal systems should offer strategic advantages to the stem cell biologist because of the wealth of chemically understood regul…

Stem Cells in Modeling Human Genetic Diseases
The cloning of the sheep Dolly in 1996, demonstrating for the fi rst time that it was possible to reprogram a differentiated mammalian cell to a pluripotent state, opened a new and very promising fi eld of research in regenerative medicine. Although the technology of nuclear transfer from a somatic cell to an enucleated egg was banned for human reproductive cloning, it looked very promising…
