By examining historical applications of the compounds found in plants, this five-volume series serves as a reference for quality assurance, research, product development, and regulatory guidance of the compounds found in plant-based medicines. This work supports the growing consumers' interest in herbal medicine for wellness and health. Plant-Based Therapeutics, Volume 1: Cannabis sativa, the first in the series, covers a unique plant species and provides the framework to integrate its evidence-based scientific discoveries with healthcare therapies. Cannabis has been used in religious ceremonies and medical purposes for thousands of years. Cannabidiol (CBD), the main non-psychoactive component of Cannabis, was isolated in the 1940s, and its structure was established in the 1960s. In 1964 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component, was isolated. Cannabis has more than 500 components, of which 104 cannabinoids have been identified. Two of them, THC and CBD, have been the primary components of scientific investigations. They were approved by the FDA for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in 1985; for appetite stimulation in wasting conditions, such as AIDS, in 1992, and in 2018 for treating two forms of pediatric epilepsy, Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Beyond the indications for which cannabinoids are FDA-approved, the evidence reveals that cannabinoid receptors are present throughout the body, embedded in cell membranes, and are believed to be more numerous than any other receptor system. When cannabinoid receptors are stimulated, a variety of physiologic processes ensue. Thus, other constituents of Cannabis are extremely promising either as individual compounds or their potential synergistic or entourage effects in the treatment of numerous medical conditions.

Tras los éxitos de El emperador de todos los males y El gen, Siddhartha Mukherjee se adentra en la increíble y apasionante historia de la célula. 'En un relato a la vez lírico y amplio, Mukherjee nos lleva a través de una historia de la comprensión humana: desde el descubrimiento en el siglo XVII de que estamos formados por células hasta la actual tecnología de vanguardia para manipular y desplegar células con fines terapéuticos'.Th e New Yorker Bienvenidos a la apasionante historia de la célula. En este nuevo libro, el oncólogo y divulgador Siddhartha Mukherjee nos acompaña en un viaje fascinante a partir de uno de los mayores descubrimientos científicos de la historia: el hecho de que todos los organismos vivos complejos estén constituidos por unidades diminutas, autónomas y autorreguladas, esas que en el siglo XVII Robert Hooke vio a través de su microscopio y bautizó con el nombre que hoy conocemos. Aquel hallazgo, seguido de una cada vez mejor comprensión de la fisiología celular, cambió para siempre (y aún determina) la manera en que abordamos la medicina, la ciencia, la biología, las estructuras sociales y hasta la cultura. Una fractura de cadera, una parada cardiaca, el Alzheimer, el sida, un cáncer de pulmón... todo, absolutamente todo, puede explicarse como el resultado del funcionamiento anómalo de las células o de los ecosistemas que estas forman. Y también todo debería poder tratarse mediante su manipulación terapéutica. Esta revolución en el campo de la biología celular ya ha demostrado resultados transformadores y hoy se plantea como uno de los avances científicos que más vidas pueden salvar.Críticas:'Maravillosamente ambiciosa. La biología de la célula es compleja y colosal como la vida misma. No creo que ningún escritor pudiera tratar este asunto mejor'.The Times 'En parte misterio, en parte historia de aventuras, La armonía de la célula es una irresistible incursión en los confines de la ciencia médica y un recordatorio del poder del ingeniohumano que probablemente dejará a los lectores asombrados y esperanzados'.Jennifer Egar, autora ganadora del Pulitzer 'La escritura de La armonía de la célula es tan agradable que te dejas llevar por su música'.The New York Times 'Con una investigación profunda, La armonía de la célula es un extraordinario viaje a través de la historia de los descubrimientos hasta llegar a la medicina celular más innovadora que se practica en la actualidad y a la promesa de lo que está por venir'.Paul Nurse, Premio Nobel de Fisiología y Medicina en 2001 'Un narrador extraordinariamente dotado. Las ideas del autor sobre el futuro próximo de la medicina son tan convincentes como inspiradoras. Otro éxito de Mukherjee'.Publishers Weekly'Una exploración fiable, oportuna y, lo que es más importante, biológicamente precisa de lo que significa ser humano'.The Guardian

Behavioural scientists have failed to unravel a coherent evolution and system of behaviour. It is a failure that hinders our understanding of ourselves, of others and of our dysfunctions. Homo Imperfectus is a personal endeavour to correct this failure; it is the result of decades of research and reflection.Every organism engages in behaviour which registers change, evaluates it and decides on a response. The behavioural system arose from a simple polarisation of change, and of response. Through millennia of evolution, it eventually arrived at our complex, but fragile, human neuro-psychology.The almost accidental explosion of human intelligence creates an overload of our vital decision-making hub, predisposing it to disorder and theirreparable damage of schizophrenia. It is not a disorder of our biochemistry, of our physiology, but of how we conduct our lives.

This book presents the state of the skill of understanding brassinosteroids (BRs) signaling plus crosstalk with phytohormone and their association in plant adaptation to abiotic stresses comprising physiological, biochemical, and molecular developments. Due to progressively adverse environmental conditions and scarce natural resources, high-efficient crops have become more important than ever. For the successful improvement of stress-tolerant plants, it is vital to understand the precise signaling appliances that plants practice to abide stresses as well as how much these mechanisms are convinced by phytohormone. However, it is also debatable on which step plants can attain brassinosteroids (BRs) signaling from an evolutionary viewpoint. BRs are involved in modulating a large array of important functions throughout a plant's life cycles. BRs are considered as one of the most important plant steroidal hormones that show a varied role in observing a wide range of developmental practices in plants. Our grip on brassinosteroids signaling has quickly extended over the past two decades, owing in part to the isolation of the constituents intricate in the signal transduction trail. The book proposes a useful guide for plant researchers and graduate students in connected areas.
