Advances in Experimental Biology
Series Description
The Animal Section of the SEB launched this serial "Advances in Experimental Biology" (AEB) in 2006, with the first volume published in 2007. The aim of this new serial is to provide state-of-the-art review volumes on timely issues that have an international topicality within the field of Comparative and Integrative Biology. The series as a whole will therefore cover a rather broad range of topics from the role of individual molecules (e.g. Nitric Oxide) to system-level approaches applied to a particular research discipline (e.g. Toxicogenomics).
Each volume will contain approximately ten chapters each providing a detailed review of current understanding within a sub-topic of the volume title. Each chapter is written by leading authorities in science that have been invited, based on their international reputation, to provide their perspective on the current status and recent developments within the field. All chapters are peer-reviewed by at least two independent referees prior to acceptance for publication.
The series thus aims to provide an excellent, up-to-date resource for a global research audience within each of the volume topics.

First Volume - Nitric Oxide - Published 25th June 2007
Volume Editors:

This volume provides a novel insight to the evolutionary and comparative aspects of nitric oxide- nitric oxide synthase system as a central regulator of invertebrate and vertebrate homeostasis.
By critically selecting and summarizing the ever–increasing number of original studies, these presentations review a variety of important signalling and modulatory roles played by nitric oxide at molecular, cell, organ and organ system levels. It addresses not only specialists and graduate students in the field, but also all biologists concerned with how this unique, gaseous, pleiotropic molecule has been employed by living systems, uncovering a new dimension of the wonders of life.
