درباره این کتاب:
This
volume offers a comprehensive history
of the Mount Desert Island Biological
Laboratory (MDIBL), one of the major
marine laboratories in the United
States and a leader in using marine
organisms to study fundamental
physiological concepts. Beginning with
its founding as the Harpswell
Laboratory of Tufts University in
1898, David H. Evans follows its
evolution from a teaching facility to
a research center for distinguished
renal and epithelial physiologists. He
also describes how it became the site
of major advances in cytokinesis,
regeneration, cardiac and vascular
physiology, hepatic physiology,
endocrinology and toxicology, as well
as studies of the comparative
physiology of marine organisms.
Fundamental physiological concepts in
the context of the discoveries made at
the MDIBL are explained and the social
and administrative history of this
renowned facility is described.
