Overview: It has been over 40 years since the original report by Salmon and Daughaday demon­ strating that the ability of GH to stimulate sulfation of cartilage was mediated by a "sulfation factor. " In the ensuing decades, it has become apparent that this "sulfation factor activity" encompasses a complex system ofligands (IGFs), receptors, and carrier proteins that are, in tum, responsible for a wide array of cellular actions. The IGF system has been demonstrated to be critically involved in both intrauterine and postnatal growth, and to have important implications in cancer biology as well,

Overview: Initiation of cancer in the cell is experimentally related to action of chemicals and radiation. For understanding the first steps of this interaction, approved methods from quantum theory and solid state physics are applied by the authors..The approach of this book is interdisciplinary. Theoretical models are qualitatively applied. Known effects, like oncogene activation, anti-oncogenes, and disturbances of the cell‘s self-regulation are explained. The authors propose possible points of intervention in the cancer initiation process based on the theoretical considerations..978-3-642-

The evidence of this study demonstrates that those who hold and use state power can allow the fate of cities to be determined mainly in the private economy, but that is a matter of public choice rather than iron necessity. ‘...an impo
