Calcium is a versatile carrier of signals regulating many aspects of cellular activity such as fertilization to create a new life and programmed cell death to end it. Calcium homeostasis is strictly controlled by channels, pumps and exchangers functioning as gates for calcium entry and release. Given that calcium is such a versatile messenger the field of calcium signaling is continuously and rapidly expanding. This book reviews the most recent developments in calcium signaling by leading experts in the field. It is a state-of-the-art summary of our present knowledge in this quickly growing field and provides insight into the impressive progress made in many areas of calcium signaling, while reminding us of how much remains to be learned.

This is the second edition of the comprehensive, concise summary of apoptosis research. It covers the major concepts, molecular architecture, the biochemical pathways, and pathophysiological significance of apoptosis. This book provides a guideline of standard biochemical and cell biologic approaches to apoptosis bench work with an emphasis on translational clinical applications for immune disorders, cancer research, ischemia, and neuronal degeneration. Since the original publication in 2003, the apoptosis field has expanded rapidly – chapters not only need to be revised and expanded, but there is a need for all new chapters covering exciting advances in bioinformatics, systems biology, oxidative stress, etc.

Osteoarthritis can be categorized as the deterioration of protective cartilage surrounding joints resulting in swelling, pain and increased difficulty in joint movement. Several factors are known to increase risk of osteoarthritis such as joint injury, comorbidity with other conditions (rheumatoid arthritis), age and obesity. While joint damage is irreversible, symptoms can be managed and various life-style changes can slow disease progression. To date, there is no cure for osteoarthritis and while joint damage is irreversible, symptoms can be managed with various life-style changes to slow disease progression. Pain management can often be achieved with over-the-counter analgesics. Alternatives include Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Opioids, Capsaicin cream, and in extreme cases Steroid injections. Non-pharmaceutical treatments include physiotherapy, assisted devices such as specialized footwear and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). In cases of extreme joint damage various surgeries may be available to patients, such as arthroplasty surgery.
