Molecular Cellular &Developmental Biology of Erythropoiesis/Erythropoiesis V 718

Subject Matter: It focuses on erythropoietin (Epo) and erythropoiesis (red blood cell formation), covering the molecular, cellular, and developmental aspects of these biological processes. Editors: The volume was edited by Ivan N. Rich and Terence R.J. Lappin. Origin: This volume resulted from a workshop on the same topic held in Irsee, Germany, from April 26-30, 1993, organized by the New York Academy of Sciences. Key Topics Covered: The book delves into areas such as the oxygen sensor and erythropoietin gene regulation, the physiology of oxygen sensing and erythropoietin production, developmental biology of erythropoiesis, the erythropoietin receptor and signal transduction, and the role of the microenvironment and cytokines on erythropoiesis modulation. Relevance: The book highlights the impact of recombinant DNA technology on erythropoietin research and its therapeutic applications, particularly in treating anemia associated with renal disease.
