Sommario/riassunto |
|
Articular cartilage is a unique and highly specialized avascular connective tissue in which the availability of oxygen and glucose is |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significantly lower than synovial fluid and plasma. Glucose is an essential source of energy during embryonic growth and fetal development and is vital for mesenchymal cell differentiation, chondrogenesis and skeletal morphogenesis. Glucose is an important metabolic fuel for differentiated chondrocytes during post-natal development and in adult articular cartilage and is a common structural precursor for the synthesis of extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycans. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The periodic table is one of the most potent icons in science. It lies at the core of chemistry and embodies the most fundamental principles of |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the field. The one definitive text on the development of the periodic table by van Spronsen (1969), has been out of print for a considerable time. The present book provides a successor to van Spronsen, but goes further in giving an evaluation of the extent to which modern physics has, or has not, explained the periodic system. The book is written in a lively style to appeal to experts and interested lay-persons alike. |
