Ebook "Challenging popular myths of sex, gender and biology" presents contributions from international researchers from a variety of disciplines—biology, history of science, anthropology, human evolution, and social sciences all with the aim of challenging popular misconceptions of sex differences. The chapters in this collection offer not only a critique of conventional understandings of sex and gender, but the authors also demonstrate that current research fi ndings suggest alternative ways of conceiving of sex, gender, and biology.

Ebook "Eco-immunology: Evolutive aspects and future perspectives" represents a cutting-edge contribution giving an all-around perspective of eco-immunology today. Beside questions of the utmost importance for the whole community of immunologists, e.g, the intrinsic limits of immunological experiments performed at the bench on a limited number of selected models, the book covers several other facets of the eco-immunological approach, including host-parasite interactions, human aging and population immunology.

Ebook "Steric and stereoelectronic effects in organic chemistry" is to offer a decent understanding of the principles of steric and stereoelectronic effects in organic chemistry and their consequences on product selectivity and reaction rates. This book differs from most other books of the same level. In this book, strong emphasis is placed on logical evolution of the subject in a streamlined manner to aid structured comprehension of the intricacies. This book is intended for the honors undergraduate and graduate students, and the teachers.

Ebook "Chemical evolution of nitrogen-based compounds in mozzarella cheeses" summarizes how the presence of amines is influenced by different factors such as cheese variety, seasoning and microflora. The authors compare typical profiles of different products, e.g. ripe vs. unripe cheeses, focusing also on the different types of mozzarella cheeses. The Brief also introduces several analytical methods and simulation techniques, which are being used to evaluate the evolutive profiles of different selected molecules, protein aggregation, or proteolysis.

The emergence of drug resistance depends on the ability of the genome of cancer cells to constantly mutate and evolve under selective pressures. The generation of new mutations is accelerated when genes involved in DNA repair pathways are altered.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers minimally invasive means to repeatedly interrogate tumor genomes, providing opportunities to monitor clonal dynamics induced by metastasis and therapeutic selective pressures. In metastatic cancers, ctDNA profiling allows for simultaneous analysis of both local and distant sites of recurrence. Despite the promise of ctDNA sampling, its utility in real-time genetic monitoring remains largely unexplored.

Cancer development is an evolutionary process. A key selection pressure is exerted by therapy, one of the few players in cancer evolution that can be controlled. As such, an understanding of how treatment acts to sculpt the tumour and its microenvironment and how this influences a tumour’s subsequent evolutionary trajectory is critical.

Ebook "The pulvinar thalamic nucleus of non-human primates: Architectonic and functional subdivisions" discusses the hypothesis that the primate pulvinar contains an original scaffold which is derived from cytoarchitectural markers and specific protein distributions. Thereafter, along primate evolution, different selective pressures acted in order to shape and fine-tune the connectivity of the pulvinar with specific regions of the neocortex.
