    Description

    This important new volume provides a wide-ranging and authoritative account of the uterus and its physiological role in fertility, normal pregnancy and delivery. Acknowledged authorities from around the world discuss a wealth of material including cell and developmental biology, structure, function, anatomy and endocrinology, and clinically important issues such as the cervix during pregnancy, measurement of uterine contractions and initiation of labor. It will prove of particular value to obstetricians and gynecologists involved in the management of women with pre-term labor, as well as those concerned with the development of new procedures for the prevention or amelioration of this condition.

    • A detailed and timely account of uterine physiology
    • Of particular value to those involved in the management of women with pre-term labour

    Zygote

    : Journal

    Zygote is an international journal dedicated to the rapid publication of original research in early embryology. It covers interdisciplinary studies in animals and humans, from gametogenesis through fertilization to gastrulation. The scope includes gametogenesis, sperm–oocyte interaction, gamete and embryo physiology, cell polarity, cell–cell interactions, nuclear transfer, haploidization, molecular genetics, developmental genetics, in-vitro fertilization, and stem-cell and cryoconservation technologies. The editors favour work describing fundamental processes in the cellular and molecular mechanisms of animal development, and, in particular, the identification of unifying principles in biology. New technologies, clinical papers, review articles, debates and letters will become prominent features.

    Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics
    Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics

    : Journal

    Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics (QRB) covers the whole field of biophysics, from ion channels to DNA topology and from X-ray diffraction to NMR. The journal has gained a worldwide reputation, demonstrated by its high ranking in the ISI Science Citation Index, as a forum for general and specialised communication between biophysicists working in different areas. The journal features authoritative Reviews, the majority of which are invited from authors who have made significant contributions to the field, and who give critical, readable and sometimes controversial accounts of recent progress and problems in their speciality. The newly founded Discovery section publishes key Open Access original research and what may be described as true discoveries, or novel methods to reach mechanistic understanding of biological systems. While biophysics can be reasonably widely interpreted, to include areas like structural biology, our papers should be firmly anchored with a molecular view of the science.
