Evolutionary Cell Processes in Primates Genes Skin Energetics Breathing and Feeding Volume II

Evolutionary Cell Processes in Primates Genes Skin Energetics Breathing and Feeding Volume II

Many complex traits define the primate condition including behaviors as fundamental as locomotion and traits as scrutinized as the dentition and their study reveals dramatic evolutionary change across the primates. Genetic modifications are at the basis of these changes but transformation of genetic information into phenotypes occurs at the level of the cell which is the focus of this book. Contributors summarize novel methodologies to analyze the collective behavior of cells in forming tissues and organs influencing physiological functions and anatomical features that enable behaviors. Our goal is to review current knowledge and encourage others to adopt evolutionary cell biology to aid in deciphering the genotype-phenotype map that underlies the diversification of primates human variation and human evolution. The contributors to this book utilize advances in genetic analysis and visualization of cells and tissues and merge evolutionary developmental biology with evolutionary cell biology to address questions central to understanding human and primate evolution. Key Features Explores mechanisms underlying trait development distribution variation and evolution especially with respect to pigmentation dental formulae the skeleton energetics and temperature-related morphological variation Documents the advantages for anthropologists to work at the level of cells focusing on how genes provide instructions for cells to make structure and how environment affects the behavior of cells Illustrates the role cell biology plays in pelage growth and pigmentation facial morphology melanin production in pigmentation dental development and tooth loss and energy expenditure Describes novel methodologies and techniques to analyze environment- and temperature-related influences on phenotypes Demonstrates how significant changes in life history occur at the level of the cell Related Titles Bianchi L.

Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Pathophysiology Therapeutic Intervention and Complementary Medicine

Psoriasis is a life-long chronic autoimmune disease characterized by thick scaly skin lesions and often associated with severe arthritis. In psoriasis lesions skin cells keratinocytes grow too quickly resulting in thick white silvery or red patches on skin. Normal skin cells grow gradually and flake off about every four weeks but psoriasis causes new skin cells to move rapidly to the surface of the skin in days rather than weeks. Psoriasis symptoms often appear on the elbows scalp feet knees hands or lower back or as flaking or patches on the skin. It is most common in adults but teenagers and children can also suffer from psoriasis. Psoriasis is not only a skin condition; it is a chronic disease of the immune system. Chronic psoriasis is associated with other health conditions such as psoriatic arthritis several inflammatory disorders type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This book provides extensive coverage of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. It features information on epidemiology and etiology of psoriasis pathogenesis genetics of psoriasis clinical manifestations and treatment options using cutting-edge drugs including adalimumab and tofacitinib.
