About the book:
Space is a world devoid of the things we need to live and thrive: air, gravity, hot showers, fresh produce, privacy, beer. How much can a person give up? How much weirdness can they take?

Amputation and heat induced protein synthesis in the regenerating forelimb of Notophthalmus viridesc
This thesis compares the responses of regenerating forelimb tissues of
the newt Notophthalmu..f vlridescens to the stresses of hyperthermia and
ID.echanical injury of amputation. In particular, both quantitative and
qualitative changes in the synthesis of soluble proteins in stump tissues,
including those of the heat shock protein family (HSP70-1ike) were
examined.
Results from SDS-PAGEfluorography indicate that the trauma of
amputation mimics the heat shock response both quantitatively and
