Cell Biology of Addiction

Edited By Bertha K. Madras, Harvard Medical School; Christine M. Colvis, National Institute on Drug Abuse/NIH; Jonathan D. Pollock, National Institute on Drug Abuse/NIH; Joni L. Rutter, National Institute on Drug Abuse/NIH; David Shurtleff, National Institute on Drug Abuse/NIH; Mark von Zastrow, University of California, San Francisco

© 2006 • 465 pp., illus., appendices, index
Hardcover • $129 $32.25 • ISBN 978-087969753-2

This monograph, written by experts in the field, is devoted to the molecular analysis of addiction pathways in the brain. It provides an intensive overview of the fundamentals, state–of–the–art advances, and major gaps in the cell and molecular biology of drug addiction within the broader context of neuroscience. Addiction research is a branch of neuroscience and psychology. The emphasis in this book is on hard science and the market for it will be found among research investigators and grad students within the field of neuroscience. The research presented is not only applicable to the study of drug abuse and addiction, but has clear implications for clarifying mechanisms of learning and memory, neuroadaptation, perception, volitional behavior, motivation, reward, and other disciplines of neuroscience.

Cell Growth: Control of Cell Size
(Cold Spring Harbor Monograph Series 42)

Edited By Michael N. Hall, Biozentrum, University of Basel; Martin Raff, University College London; George Thomas, Friedrich Miescher Institute

© 2004 • 652 pp., illus., appendices, index
Hardcover • $139 $27.80 • ISBN 978-087969672-6

Recent breakthroughs in the field of cell growth, particularly in the control of cell size, are reviewed by experts in the three major divisions of the field: growth of individual cells, growth of organs, and regulation of cell growth in the contexts of development and cell division. This book is an introductory overview of the field and should be adaptable as a textbook.

Cell Survival and Cell Death

Edited By Eric H. Baehrecke, University of Massachusetts; Douglas R. Green, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital; Sally Kornbluth, Duke University; Guy S. Salvesen, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute

Due August 2013 • 300 pp. (approx.), illus. (29 4C, 51 B&W), index
Hardcover • $135 • ISBN 978-1-936113-31-6

Cell death plays a critical role in development, normal physiology, and many diseases, including cancer. This short book describes our detailed understanding of the mechanisms involved in cell death signaling, covering signal transducers, caspases, Bcl2-family proteins, mitochondrial molecules, and IAPs, as well as the survival mechanisms that antagonize them. Cell death mechanisms involved in tumor suppression and cancer are also covered.

© 2008 • 614 pp., illus., indexes
(Paperback edition does not include online access)
Paperback • $126 $63.00 • ISBN 978-087969862-1

Based on presentations by world-renowned investigators at the 73rd annual Cold Spring Harbor Symposium on Quantitative Biology, this volume reviews the latest advances in research on the control and regulation of stem cells. The topics covered include nuclear reprogramming, regulation of stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, the stem cell niche, and signaling and gene regulation in stem cells. Studies of embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells are covered, along with research shedding light on the roles of these cells in regeneration and cancer.
