Stem Cells andRevasculariz-ation TherapiesEdited byHyunjoon Kong andLawrence B. SchookUniversity of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA

Andrew J. PutnamUniversity of California - Irvine, USA

Series: Biotechnology and Bioprocessing

In the last few decades, significant advancementsin the biology and engineering of stem cells haveenabled progress in their clinical application torevascularization therapies. Some strategiesinvolve the mobilization of endogenous stem cellpopulations, and others employ cell transplanta-tion. However, both techniques have benefitedfrom multidisciplinary efforts to create biomateri-als and other biomedical tools that can improveand control the fate of stem cells, and advanceour understanding of them.Stem Cells and Revascularization Therapiesfocuses on the fundamentals and applied studiesin stem cell biology, and provides perspectivesassociated with the development of revascular-ization strategies. To help readers understand themultidisciplinary issues associated with this topic,this book has been divided into four sections:

• Section 1: Explores how to define, isolate,and characterize various stem and progenitorcell populations for neovascularization

• Section 2: Summarizes some especially usefulmodel systems and approaches used to regulate angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, andarteriogenesis, and explores their impact onformation of functional vessels in vivo

• Section 3: Focuses on stem cell homing to sitesof injury and inflammation, as well as strategiesto exploit this mobilization phenomenon

• Section 4: Covers stem cell transplantationtopics, including recreating features ofendogenous stem cell niches to maintain themultipotency of transplanted cells and combi-natorial delivery of cells and molecular factors

Intended to inspire new contributions to improvethe therapeutic efficacy, Stem Cells andRevascularization Therapies outlines emergentfindings and challenges regarding the use ofstem cells in revascularization therapies.Overcoming the significant hurdles to our under-standing of stem cell biology will enhance theirutility in promoting new blood vessel formation.

Handbook ofLess-CommonNanostructuresBoris I. Kharisov, Oxana VasilievnaKharissova, and Ubaldo Ortiz-MendezAutonomous University of NuevoLeon, Mexico

As nanotechnology has developed over the lasttwo decades, some nanostructures, such as nan-otubes, nanowires, and nanoparticles, havebecome very popular. However, recent researchhas led to the discovery of other, less-commonnanoforms, which often serve as building blocksfor more complex structures.In an effort to organize the field, the Handbookof Less-Common Nanostructures presents aninformal classification based mainly on the less-common nanostructures. A small nanotechno-logical encyclopedia, this book:

• Describes a range of little-known nanostructures

• Offers a unifying vision of the synthesis ofnanostructures and the generalization of rare nanoforms

• Includes a CD-ROM with color versions ofmore than 100 nanostructures

• Explores the fabrication of rare nanostructures,including modern physical, chemical, andbiological synthesis techniques

The Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructuresdiscusses a classification system not directly relat-ed to the dimensionality and chemical composi-tion of nanostructure-forming compounds orcomposite. Instead, it is based mainly on the less-common nanostructures. Possessing unusualshapes and high surface areas, these structuresare potentially very useful for catalytic, medical,electronic, and many other applications.

Selected Contents:

Introduction. Methods Used for Production OfNanostructures: Physico-chemical Techniques.Chemical Synthesis Methods. BiologicalMethods. Brief Description of Some ClassicNanostructures: Carbon-Based Nanostructures.Other Conventional Nanostructures. Less-Common Nanostructures: Simple Linear 2-Dand 3-D Nanostructures. Special Topics:Coordination (Metal-Complex) Nanomaterials.Conclusions.

AnticancerAgents from NaturalProductsSecond EditionEdited by

Gordon M. Cragg,David G. I. Kingston,and David J. NewmanPraise for the Previous Edition:

"The book brings home to us not only the amaz-ing chemical complexity of the natural world butalso the vast reservoir of potential new healingagents that yet remain to be tapped. This impres-sive work, which maintains a uniformly high stan-dard throughout, will be of major benefit to awide readership… It seems likely that it willremain the definitive work in its genre for manyyears to come."

—Chemistry World Vol. 3, No. 3, March 2006

The approach to drug discovery from naturalsources has yielded many important new phar-maceuticals inaccessible by other routes. Inmany cases the isolated natural product may notbe an effective drug for any of several reasons,but it nevertheless may become a drug throughchemical modification or have a novel pharma-cophore for future drug design. In summarizingthe status of natural products as cancerchemotherapeutics, Anticancer Agents fromNatural Products, Second Edition covers the:

• History of each covered drug—a discussion of its mechanism on action, medicinal chemistry, synthesis, and clinical applications

• Potential for novel drug discovery throughthe use of genome mining as well as futuredevelopments in anticancer drug discovery

• Important biosynthetic approaches to "unnatural" natural products

Anticancer Agents from Natural Products,Second Edition discusses how complex target-oriented synthesis—enabled by historicadvances in methodology—has enormouslyexpanded the scope of the possible. This bookcovers the current clinically used anticanceragents that are either natural products or areclearly derived from natural product leads. It alsoreviews drug candidates currently in clinicaldevelopment since many of these will be clini-cally used drugs in the future.

Spectroscopy

VCDSpectroscopyfor OrganicChemistsPhilip J. Stephens andFrank J. DevlinUniversity of Southern California,Los Angeles, USA

James R. CheesemanGaussian, Inc., Wallingford,Connecticut, USA

Stimulated by the increasing importance of chi-ral molecules as pharmaceuticals and the needfor enantiomerically pure drugs, techniques inchiral chemistry have been expanded andrefined, especially in the areas of chromatogra-phy, asymmetric synthesis, and spectroscopicmethods for chiral molecule structural character-ization. In addition to synthetic chiral molecules,naturally occurring molecules, which are invari-ably chiral and generally enantiomericallyenriched, are of potential interest as leads fornew drugs.VCD Spectroscopy for Organic Chemists dis-cusses the applications of vibrational circulardichroism (VCD) spectroscopy to the structuralcharacterization of chiral organic molecules. Thebook provides all of the information about VCDspectroscopy that an organic chemist needs inorder to make use of the technique. Theauthors, experts responsible for much of theexisting literature in this field, discuss the exper-imental measurement of VCD and the theoreti-cal prediction of VCD. In addition, they evaluatethe advantages and limitations of the techniquein determining molecular structure. Given the availability of commercial VCD instru-mentation and quantum chemistry software, itbecame possible in the late 1990s for chemiststo use VCD in elucidating the stereochemistriesof chiral organic molecules. This book helpsorganic chemists become more aware of theutility of VCD spectroscopy and provides themwith sufficient knowledge to incorporate thetechnique into their own research.

The first part is ded-icated to the pulling of single molecules withforce spectroscopy to investigate molecularinteractions, mechanics, and mechanochemicalprocesses. The second addresses the manipula-tion, repositioning, and targeted delivery of sin-gle molecules on substrates. New and experi-enced researchers will find a wealth of informa-tion in this informative volume, which demon-strates the potential of AFMs beyond imaging.


SpectroscopicTechniques andHinderedMolecularMotionFerid BashirovKazan Federal University, Russia

The theory of hinderedmotions of small moleculesand molecular fragments in crystals and liquidsallows one to obtain detailed knowledge of boththe crystal structure and the dynamical behaviorof molecules. Application of the theory to describesuch phenomena as NMR relaxation rates andspectral line broadening expands the power ofmany spectroscopy techniques. The author com-pares this theoretical approach with recent exper-imental results. Specific topics covered include theextended angular jump model, angular autocorre-lation functions, dielectric, optical and neutronscattering spectroscopy applications, and nuclearmagnetic resonance spin-lattice relaxation appli-cations.
