Systems BiologyApplications in Cancer-Related Researchedited by Hsueh-Fen Juan (National Taiwan University, Taiwan) & Hsuan-Cheng Huang (National Yang-Ming University, Taiwan)

This volume presents an overview of recent developments in systems biology and their applications in cancer-related research. The ongoing advances in our understanding of genomics and proteomics, coupled with the development of new and more robust tools, have led to an emphasis on analyzing biological systems at multiple levels. Thus, there is a need to integrate different types of data into a comprehensive “systems” view.

Readership: Medical doctors, oncologists, chemists, genome biologists and computational biologists. Senior undergraduate, graduate students and researchers who are interested in systems biology and cancer research.

Who Are We? Microbes, The Puppet Masters!by Yuan Kun Lee (National University of Singapore)

We have been invaded by “body snatchers” and they are part of us! We could postulate that we are carrying a large number of DNAs that serve only the DNAs, and we are just a small part of the big picture! There is ample scientific evidence to suggest that, even today, free-living microbes are still manipulating our behaviour and our life at large. They are thriving on our wet skin, in our mouth, and in our intestinal and vaginal tracts. We are perhaps not quite what we think we are. This thought-provoking and inspiring book offers many answers, while at the same time raising many questions for future research.

Along with the journal “Nano LIFE” which has been successfully launched by World Scientific recently (http://www.worldscinet.com/nl/nl.shtml), the FNBMR book series opens up new publishing opportunities for the emerging new scientific community and bridges the communication gap that used to exist between Physical Scientists (incl. Materials Scientists) and Life Scientists, both dealing with fundamentals and applications of the results of nano-related research.

Frontiers in Nanobiomedical Research - Volume 1Handbook of Immunological Properties of Engineered Nanomaterialsedited by Marina A Dobrovolskaia & Scott E McNeil (SAIC-Frederick Inc., USA)

“Understanding the immunogenicity of novel, engineered nanoparticle-based drugs is absolutely critical in bringing a nanomedicine into the clinic. Nanomedicines may activate the immune system or be invisible to it; the choice depends on the application. But regardless, the mechanism of nanoparticle–immune interaction needs to be well understood and controlled. And this Handbook is an absolutely essential reference for those designing, developing, or testing novel nanomedicines.”

JOURNALS

Biophysical Reviews and Letters (BRL)http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscinet/brl Aims & Scope:The Biophysical Reviews and Letters is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research papers, review articles and brief communications in the field of experimental and theoretical Biophysics. It covers the whole area of Bionanosciences - including Biomolecules, Biocolloids (membranes, filaments, and minerals), Bioenergetics (molecular motors, growing filaments), Biofunctional, Bioinspired and Biomimetic Materials - as well as physical aspects of Structural and Molecular Cell Biology, Computational Biophysics, Bioinformatics, and fundamental issues related to the Life Sciences.

Biomedical Engineering: Applications, Basis and Communications (BME)http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscinet/bme

Aims & Scope:Biomedical Engineering: Applications, Basis and Communications is an international, interdisciplinary journal aiming at publishing up-to-date contributions on original clinical and basic research in the biomedical engineering. Research of biomedical engineering has grown tremendously in the past few decades. Meanwhile, several outstanding journals in the field have emerged, with different emphases and objectives. We hope this journal will serve as a new forum for both scientists and clinicians to share their ideas and the results of their studies.

Biomedical Engineering: Applications, Basis and Communications explores all facets of biomedical engineering, with emphasis on both the clinical and scientific aspects of the study. It covers the fields of bioelectronics, biomaterials, biomechanics, bioinformatics, nano-biological sciences and clinical engineering. The journal fulfils this aim by publishing regular research / clinical articles, short communications, technical notes and review papers. Papers from both basic research and clinical investigations will be considered.

Gene Therapy and Regulation (GTR)http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscinet/gtr Aims & Scope:The aim of Gene Therapy and Regulation is to meet the demand for an international interdisciplinary journal integrating the publication of all aspects of research on gene therapy, stem cell therapy and ancillary basic cell/molecular biology approaches, including stem cell research, molecular cloning/sequencing, and gene regulation. The journal fulfils this aim by publishing regular research/clinical articles, short communications, and method and review papers.

International Journal of Biomathematics (IJB)http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscinet/ijb Aims & Scope:The goal of this journal is to present the latest achievements in biomathematics, facilitate international academic exchanges and promote the development of biomathematics.

The research papers will be technical presentations of new assertions, discoveries and tools, intended for a narrower specialist community. The tutorials, reviews and critical commentary will be targeted at a broader readership of biologists who are interested in using computers but are not knowledgeable about scientific computing, and equally, computer scientists who have an interest in biology but are not familiar with current thrusts nor the language of biology. Such carefully chosen tutorials and articles should greatly accelerate the rate of entry of these new creative scientists into the field.

Journal of Biological Systems (JBS)http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscinet/jbs

Aims & Scope:The Journal of Biological Systems is published quarterly. The goal of the Journal is to promote interdisciplinary approaches in Biology and in Medicine, and the study of biological situations with a variety of tools, including mathematical and general systems methods. The Journal solicits original research papers and survey articles in areas that include (but are not limited to):

Complex systems studies; isomorphies; nonlinear dynamics; entropy; mathematical tools and systems theories with applications in Biology and Medicine.Interdisciplinary approaches in Biology and Medicine; transfer of methods from one discipline to another; integration of biological levels, from atomic to molecular, macromolecular, cellular, and organic levels; animal biology; plant biology.Environmental studies; relationships between individuals, populations, communities and ecosystems; bioeconomics, management of renewable resources; hierarchy theory; integration of spatial and time scales.Evolutionary biology; co-evolutions; genetics and evolution; branching processes and phyllotaxis.Medical systems; physiology; cardiac modeling; computer models in Medicine; cancer research; epidemiology.Numerical simulations and computations; numerical study and analysis of biological data.Epistemology; history of science.
