The precise transmission of the genetic information from one generation to the next during the mitotic cell cycle is extremely important for a eukaryotic organism. This process involves faithful duplication of the whole ...

Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins that was named so by Walther Flemming in 1882 as a substance that could be visualized by staining. It is a highly ordered structure made up of arrays of nucleosomes that forms ...

Spermatogenesis is a process in which spermatogonial stem cells undergo a series of biochemical and morphological changes resulting in the production of highly differentiated haploid cells called spermatozoa. The entire ...

This chapter gives an introduction on Plasmodium falciparum life cycle and its metabolism. Studying P. falciparum metabolism will not only lead to novel biochemical targets for chemotherapeutic intervention but also ...
