{"product_id":"nematodes-as-model-organisms-itamar-glazer-9781789248791","title":"Nematodes as Model Organisms","description":"Nematodes are small multicellular organisms that have been used as biological models since the 1960s. For example, \u003ci\u003eCaenorhabditis elegans\u003c\/i\u003e is a free-living nematode worm, about 1mm in length, that lives in temperate soil environments. It is made up of about 1000 cells, and has a short life cycle of only two weeks. It was the first multicellular organism to have its whole genome sequenced. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book summarizes the importance of nematodes as model organisms in the fields of genetics, developmental biology, neurobiology, pharmacology, nutrition, ecology and parasitology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOf interest to a broad audience across a wide spectrum of disciplines, this book is useful for biologists working on comparative studies to investigate biological processes across organisms; medical scientists and pharmacologists for exploration of drugs and medicine (including the use of genome editing to eliminate diseases); ecologists considering nematodes as indicators for environment changes; and parasitologists for host-parasite interactions. Many other researchers can use this book as a benchmark for the broad implications of nematology research on other aspects of science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Itamar Glazer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789248795\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789248791\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cabi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Itamar Glazer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078666187007,"sku":"9781789248791","price":135.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61674022-601c-49fa-8402-ed1c27cdc534.jpg?v=1685476809","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nematodes-as-model-organisms-itamar-glazer-9781789248791","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
