Publisher's Synopsis
The Harvey Society was founded in 1905 by thirteen New York City scientists and physicians with the purpose of forging a "closer relationship between the purely practical side of medicine and the results of laboratory investigation." The Society distributes scientific knowledge in selected areas of anatomy, physiology, pathology, bacteriology, pharmacology, and physiological and pathological chemistry through public lectures, which are published annually. Series 96, 2000 2001 covers themes in coordinated transcriptional regulation of cell growth and proliferation, cellular responses to telomere shortening, multicellular life in the plant kingdom, cell cycle control and cancer, and recent studies of the ubiquitin system and the N–end rule pathway.
