Mesenchymal Cell Activation by Biomechanical Stimulation and its Clinical Prospects

Nahum Rosenberg

Sinopse

The electrical response of cells to mechanical stimulus is known as mechanotransduction. This monograph is a summary of the mechanotransduction in musculoskeletal cells responsible for body tissue maintenance, support, cover and movement. While mechanotransduction is similar among these cells, there are also several important differences in mechanical parameters and cellular pathways characteristic to each cell type. Therefore, readers will have the opportunity to update their knowledge about the increasing volume of information on mechanotransduction in these cells gained from current research.
The book features a primer on general aspects of cellular biomechanics and the experimental methods and equipment  commonly used for investigating cellular mechanotransduction in vitro in two dimensional cultures in which cells are adherent to plastic surfaces. Characteristic mechanotransduction pathways in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), chondrocytes, osteoblasts and fibroblasts are described in the accompanying chapters. Finally, a description of clinical implementation of mechanical stimulation is presented with emphasis on distraction osteogenesis, involving osteoblast stimulation, and skin stretching techniques based on fibroblast stimulation.
This monograph is a useful reference for readers involved in graduate courses or basic research in cell biology and musculoskeletal physiology.

Empower Your Child to Heal - 8...

PhD Skyler Hamilton

Did you know your thoughts can create disease? The good news is that our thoughts can also heal disease. My new book reveals answers for the millions of parents raising children with mysterious conditions, and the related devastating consequences, resulting from autoimmune diseases and gastrointestinal disorders which are increasing in prevalence and without clear-cut medical cures. 
I'm a mind-body psychotherapist, author, peer-reviewed published researcher and lecturer, with my focus on healing the somatic effects of stress, trauma, and anxiety. A product of my own methods, I once suffered from multiple sclerosis (MS) and was bound to a wheelchair. With MS in remission, now I spend my life empowering others to heal themselves with or without medications. 
My research on treatment of brain-gut axis disorders with the use of clinical hypnosis is cited in the numerous peer reviewed journals. I've lectured on the mind-body connection and its impact on various medical disorders such as dysautonomia, IBS, Ulcerative Colitis, Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome, Thyroid diseases, Lupus, Lyme Disease, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and Juvenile arthritis among others.

Covert - The Psychology of War...

A.S. Dulat, Asad Durani, Neil K....

After the tremendous success of The Spy Chronicles, A.S. Dulat and Asad Durrani participated in a series of conversations on the psychology of war and peace; these have evolved into this fascinating book, written with psychiatrist Neil K. Aggarwal.  
Covert takes the reader right into the head of the two spymasters. Delving into their personal and professional trajectories that moulded them in the early years, the conversation traces the extent to which their Indian and Pakistani identities have defined them. Masterfully moderated by Aggarwal, the discussion then turns to the domain of international relations, exploring why the governments of India and Pakistan collaborate in certain areas, but not in others. What emerges is a remarkably forthright, provocatively honest appraisal of the peacebuilding process between the two nations that appear inherently hostile to each other but share so much in terms of history and cultural identity.  
The dialogues in Covert reveal a deep camaraderie between Dulat and Durrani, who have headed the intelligence operations for their respective countries. But more importantly perhaps, it provides deep insights into the shadowy world of negotiation and subterfuge. It is an eye-opener and a must-read for anyone invested in peace and amity in South Asia.
