More About This Textbook
Overview
This special issue of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry contains original research papers as well as invited reviews, and is dedicated, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the inauguration of the Heart Research Group in Berlin-Buch that today forms a part of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine, to Professor Albert Wollenberger, founder of the Heart Research Group and for 21 years its head.
The papers in this issue are written by researchers working in the field of cardiovascular research who, together with Albert Wollenberger, share the belief that an integrative application of advances in molecular and cellular biology will lead to new concepts for treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. We hope that this special issue will serve as a useful source of information in this regard.
Articles on calcium channels in cardiac hypertrophy, role of bradykinin, cardiac pump function, heart glycogen content.

Prepared for the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the inauguration of the Heart Research Group in Berlin-Buch (part of the Max Delbr<:u>ck Center for Molecular Medicine), this "festschrift" is dedicated to Professor Albert Wollenberger, the group's founder and for 21 years its head. Contributors are researchers working in the field of cardiovascular research who, together with Wollenberger, share the belief that an integrative application of advances in molecular and cellular biology can lead to new ways of conceiving the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease. The approximately 40 original research papers and invited reviews that comprise this special issue of "Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry", volumes 163 and 164, 1996, are divided into two sections. The first addresses cardiac development and regulation; the second, cardiac hypertropy and failure. A few color plates. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Product Details
