Stromal cells are connective tissue cells
of any organ. This book will prove highly useful for students, researchers, and
clinicians in stem cell biology, developmental biology, cancer biology,
pathology and oncology. Goal of this book is to consolidate the recent advances
in the area of stromal stem cell biology covering a broad range of interrelated
topics in a timely fashion and to disseminate that knowledge in a lucid way to a
greater scientific audience.
This book is a science education booklet
that explores the interior design of cells and vividly describes the processes
that take place within its organelles and structures. Each chapter includes some
review questions.

One of the most unique physical features of cell
adhesion to external surfaces is the active generation of mechanical force at
the cell-material interface. This includes pulling forces generated by contractile polymer bundles and networks, and pushing forces
generated by the polymerization of polymer networks. Topics covered includes: Physics of cell-matrix adhesions, Cell shape and
forces, Active response of cells, Cell assemblies
This note covers the
following topics: Precellular evolution, Oparin and Haldane hypothesis,
Precursors to purines, Origin of polymers, Conservation of Group 1 introns, RNA
as polymerase, RNA as nuclease and ligase, RNA genome, Genetic code and
Precellular evolution.
