  • Redox Signaling in Wound Healing in Elderly Populations: Clinical Approach, Part 2

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 3
    • English
    Redox Signaling in Wound Healing in Elderly Populations: Clinical Approach, Part Two, Volume Three covers wounds in different types and locations (diabetic, ischemic, post-operational) in subcellular and macro dimensions, examining their relationship with aging with an aim to target deteriorating redox signaling cascades and highlight promising therapeutic approaches. Understanding the indication for the use of new therapeutics targeting the illuminated pathways in wound healing helps adjust treatment regimens befitting modern medicine. Ineffective redox adaptation and disseminated oxidative injury are the hallmarks of continuing oxidative stress.However, oxidative stress cannot be simply described as the imbalance between ROS formation and antioxidant defense capacity. This also covers impairment in redox sensing and signaling pathways. The term oxidative stress is an expression that is losing its use in modern redox biology. It is now an accepted fact that ROS cannot be described as an apparent enemy or friend. Its optimum level modulates signal transduction and stress responses by acting as a second messenger for redox-sensitive cascades.

  • Ideal and Real Atmospheric Boundary Layers

    • 1st Edition
    • Mathias W. Rotach + 1 more
    • English
    Ideal and Real Atmospheric Boundary Layers is based on the notion that classical books of Boundary Layer Meteorology largely focus on ideal surface conditions, while the actual real circumstances often address situations that are more complex, like over heterogeneous land and in urban and mountain areas.Ideal and Real Atmospheric Boundary Layers starts by covering the basic physical principles used in atmospheric boundary layer meteorology, including atmospheric turbulence, observing and modeling atmospheric boundary layers, and neutral, convective, and stable boundary layers over different types of land surfaces. The second part of the book describes the applications and extension of these principles for real-world circumstances. The book will be of interest to researchers and students in atmospheric science, climate science, and meteorology.
