Most active cellular functions involve motion. From such subtle subcellular actions as the sorting and targeting of vesicles and organelles leading to the release of hormones to the complex rearrangements of a sphere of embryonic cells forming the body plan.

Most active cellular functions involve motion. From such subtle subcellular actions as the sorting and targeting of vesicles and organelles leading to the release of hormones to the complex rearrangements of a sphere of embryonic cells forming the body plan of a complete organism, motility of cells is exhibited along a wide range of observable behaviors. Despite this phenomenon, however, the views of modern biology historically have been based on static images and models constructed from biochemical evidence.
Motion Analysis of Living Cells is the first volume to compile the latest research by prominent specialists in molecular and cell biology, presenting newly developed techniques for studying cellular motions and critical analyses of the information these techniques can yield. Focusing on actin-based motility systems and drawing on the latest advances in the techniques of biochemistry, biophysics, microscopy, computer-assisted motion analysis, and molecular genetics, the works in this collection will prove invaluable to future research in embryogenesis, cancer, and diseases related to the cellular immune system.
Among the topics covered:
- Bacterial motility and chemotaxis
- New technologies for characterizing motility-related parameters
- Methods for analyzing the cortical tension of normal cells compared to abnormal cells
- Model for how a cell extends a pseudopod
- Computer-assisted analyses of cytoskeletal mutants of Dictyostelium discoideum
- Emerging methods for studying how cells respond to topographical cues at the substratum
- Polymerization of host actin to facilitate propulsion
- Genetic approaches to the regulatory mechanisms involved in early zebra fish morphogenesis and specification of cell fates
- Specific examples of single cell motility in embryogenesis
- Research oriented toward understanding cancer cell arrest, extravasation, and migration
A groundbreaking treatment of motion analysis of animal cells, Motion Analysis of Living Cells is a thorough review for professionals as well as a comprehensive introduction for students and researchers in the field. It is must reading for cell and developmental biologists, microbiologists, immunologists, neuroscientists, cancer researchers, zoologists, and basic researchers in reproductive medicine.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
