作者简介
Wayne M. Becker,taught cell biology at theUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison, for 30 yearsuntil his recent retirement. His interest in text-book writing grew out of notes, outlines, andproblem sets that he assembled for his students,culminating in Energy and the Living Cell,a paperback text on bioenergetics published in1977, and The World of the Cell, the first editionof which appeared in 1986. He earned all hisdegrees at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. All threedegrees are in biochemistry, an orientation that is readily dis-cernible in his textbooks. His research interests have been in plantmolectflar biology, focused specifically on the regulation of theexpression of genes that encode enzymes of the photorespiratorypathway. His interests in teaching, learning, and research havetaken him on sabbatical leaves at Harvard University, EdinburghUniversity, the University of Indonesia, the University of PuertoRico, Canterbury University in Christchurch, New Zaland,the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the Charles Universityin Prague. His honors include a Chancellor's Award for Distin-guished Teaching, Guggenheim and Fulbright Fellowships, and aVisiting Scholar Award from the Royal Society of London.
Lewis J.Kleinsmith,is an ArthurE Thurnau Professor Emeritus of Molecular,Cellular, and Developmental biology at theUniversity of Michigan, where he has servedon the faculty since receiving his Ph.D. fromRockefeller University in 1968. His teachingexperiences have involved courses in intro-ductory biology, cell biology, and cancerbiology, and his research interests haveincluded studies of growth control in cancer cells, the role of protein phosphorylation in eukaryotic gene regulation, andthe control of gene expression during development. Amonghis numerous publications, he is the author of Principles ofCancer Biology as well as several award-winning educationalsoftware programs. His hnors include a Guggenheim Fel-lowship, the Henry Russell Award, a Michigan DistinguishedService Award, citations for outstanding teaching from theMichigan Students Association, an NIH Plain LanguageAward, and a Best Curriculum Innovation Award from the EDUCOM Higher ,Education Software Awards Competition.
Jeff Hardin is a Professor in theZoology Department at the University ofWisconsin-Madison. His research interestscenter on how cells migrate and adhere toone another to change the shape of animalembryos. Dr. Hardin's teaching is enhancedby his extensive use of videomicroscopy andhis Web-based teaching materials, which areused on many campuses in the UnitedStates and other countries. As part of his interest in teachingbiology, Dr. Hardin has been involved in several teachinginitiatives. He was a founding member of the University of Wisconsin Teaching Academy and a cofounder of a Univer-sity of Wisconsin system-wide instructional technologyinitiative known as BioWeb. He is currently faculty directorof the Biology Core Curriculum, a four-semester honorsbiology sequence for undergraduates. His teaching awardsinclude a Lily Teaching Fellowship and a National ScienceFoundation Young Investigator Award. He is also on theeditorial board of CBE: Life Sciences Education.

前言/序言
现代生物学前沿探索:从分子机制到系统整合 图书名称:《现代生物学前沿探索:从分子机制到系统整合》 内容简介 本书旨在为生物科学领域,尤其是对生命活动深层机制和前沿研究方向感兴趣的读者,提供一个全面、深入且与时俱进的知识框架。它并非侧重于某一特定细胞结构或基础概念的详细描述,而是聚焦于当代生命科学研究中最具活力和突破性的领域,探讨生命系统如何从分子层面组织、调控,并演化出复杂的生命现象。 第一部分:分子机器的精密运作与调控 本部分深入剖析了构成生命活动的基本分子组件——蛋白质、核酸、脂质——在细胞内如何协同工作,实现其功能。我们不再将这些分子视为静态的实体,而是探讨其动态的、受控的相互作用网络。 1. 蛋白质工程与结构生物学的新进展: 聚焦于冷冻电镜(Cryo-EM)和高分辨率核磁共振(NMR)技术如何揭示复杂大分子机器(如核糖体、聚合酶、信号转导复合体)在原子分辨率下的工作状态和构象变化。特别关注蛋白质折叠的理论模型(如AlphaFold等人工智能辅助预测工具的应用),以及如何通过理性设计和定向进化来创造具有新功能的人工蛋白质或酶催化剂。探讨蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用组(Interactome)研究如何描绘细胞内部的“社交网络”。 2. 基因组学、转录组学与表观遗传学的动态交织: 本章超越了传统的中心法则叙事。它详细阐述了高通量测序技术(如PacBio、Oxford Nanopore)如何揭示基因组的复杂性,包括非编码RNA(ncRNA)家族的广泛功能,以及它们在基因调控环路中的关键作用。重点分析表观遗传修饰(DNA甲基化、组蛋白修饰)如何作为“记忆元件”,使细胞能够对环境信号做出快速、可逆的适应性响应。讨论单细胞多组学技术如何解析异质性细胞群体的分子状态,为理解发育和疾病的发生提供了前所未有的视角。 3. 细胞信号传导的复杂网络: 本节摒弃了线性的信号通路图谱,转而探讨信号整合的拓扑结构。涵盖G蛋白偶联受体(GPCRs)的高级调控机制、激酶级联反应中的反馈与前馈机制,以及信号如何在时间和空间上被精确编码和解码。尤其关注膜上信号的动态迁移、小分子GTP酶在细胞骨架重塑中的“时钟”作用,以及如何利用化学遗传学工具(如PROTACs)来靶向过去难以处理的蛋白质。 第二部分:细胞器的动态组织与物质运输 生命的功能依赖于高度组织化的微环境。本部分关注细胞器(Organelles)如何通过动态的膜重塑、融合、分裂和穿梭来实现高效的物质分配和能量转换。 4. 线粒体:能量工厂与细胞命运的枢纽: 不仅介绍氧化磷酸化的基本原理,更侧重于线粒体在细胞凋亡、钙离子稳态调节和代谢重编程中的中心角色。探讨线粒体的双向性基因组(Mitochondrial Genome)如何与核基因组协同进化,以及新兴的线粒体自噬(Mitophagy)机制如何清除受损的细胞器,维持细胞健康。 5. 内膜系统的动态性:内质网、高尔基体与溶酶体的协同作用: 深入解析内质网的质量控制系统(ER Quality Control),以及未折叠蛋白反应(UPR)如何作为压力感应器调控整体代谢。阐述高尔基体在蛋白质分类和靶向运输中的“分拣中心”功能。特别关注自噬体(Autophagosome)的形成机制,以及溶酶体如何通过其酸性环境分解宏分子,并参与跨膜信号的传递。 6. 细胞骨架:力学与形态的驱动者: 考察微管、微丝和中间纤维网络的构建、解聚和张力调控。重点在于分子马达蛋白(如肌球蛋白、驱动蛋白、动力蛋白)如何利用ATP水解驱动货物运输、细胞迁移和有丝分裂中的染色体分离。探讨细胞外基质(ECM)与细胞内骨架的整合,如何共同塑造组织力学特性。 第三部分:系统整合与新兴生物学前沿 生命现象的宏大图景需要跨越细胞边界和时间尺度的整合性视角。本部分关注系统生物学、发育生物学以及生命起源的宏观问题。 7. 系统生物学:从数据到模型: 介绍如何整合海量组学数据(Omics Data),利用计算模型来模拟和预测复杂的生物系统行为。讨论代谢网络分析、基因调控网络建模的重要性,以及如何利用控制论原理来理解生命系统的鲁棒性(Robustness)和可塑性(Plasticity)。 8. 发育与再生:时空编程的精确执行: 聚焦于细胞如何通过接收和整合空间梯度信号(如形态发生素)来决定细胞命运。详细分析诱导多能干细胞(iPSCs)技术在体外重建三维器官样结构(Organoids)的潜力,以及干细胞生态位(Stem Cell Niche)如何调控组织的自我更新和修复能力。 9. 微生物组学与宿主相互作用: 探讨肠道微生物群落作为“类器官”对宿主代谢、免疫系统和神经功能产生的深远影响。分析宿主与共生菌群之间通过代谢物交换介导的信号网络,以及失调的微生物组如何与炎症性疾病和神经退行性疾病相关联。 总结 本书力求提供一个高屋建瓴的视角,将分子生物学、细胞生物学、遗传学和系统科学的前沿成果融会贯通,为读者构建一个理解复杂生命现象的现代知识框架,是探索生命科学下一波研究浪潮的必备参考。
