Histology at a Glanceby Michelle Peckham
John Wiley & Sons 2011; US$ 40.95This brand new title provides a highly illustrated and unambiguous introduction to the science, structure and function of cells, their related pathology, and in particular, helps readers master the basic principles of recognizing features of histological sections. Histology at a Glance : Presents the perfect combination of text and image; key concepts are explained and superbly illustrated Provides coverage of all the main body systems and the components of the tissues of these systems Features practical information on microscopy, including sample preparation and magnification Includes hints and tips to help recognize features in a histological specimen, and overcome common difficulties Contains self-assessment questions to help test learning... more...
Bones and Cartilageby Brian K. Hall
Elsevier 2005; US$ 129.00Bones and Cartilage provides the most in-depth review ever assembled on the topic. It examines the function, development and evolution of bone and cartilage as tissues, organs and skeletal systems. It describes how bone and cartilage is developed in embryos and are maintained in adults, how bone reappears when we break a leg, or even regenerates when a newt grows a new limb, or a lizard a tail. This book also looks at the molecules and cells that make bones and cartilages and how they differ in various parts of the body and across species. It answers such questions as ?Is bone always bone?? ?Do bones that develop indirectly by replacing other tissues, such as marrow, tendons or ligaments, differ from one another?? ?Is fish bone the same as... more...
Color Atlas of Basic Histologyby Irwin Berman
McGraw-Hill 2003; US$ 67.95This unique atlas includes over 475 full color photomicrographs while providing students with a readily accessible source of morphologic information for use in the identification of tissues and organs. Each photomicrograph is accompanied by explanatory captions that guide students to the key morphologic features that identify the function of the structures. The self-assessment section at the end of the book serves as a review tool for those structures that students traditionally have difficulty in identifying. more...
Anatomy, Histology & Cell Biologyby Klein-MacKenzie
McGraw-Hill 2001; US$ 24.95Gives medical students 500 questions, answers, and explanations to prepare for the histology and cell biology sections of the USMLE Step 1. The new edition includes many new questions in the two-step clinical format to simulate the USMLE Step 1. more...

Molecular and Cellular Biology of Boneby M. Zaidi; O.A. Adebanjo; C.L.H. Huang
Elsevier 1998; US$ 123.00These volumes differ from the current conventional texts on bone cell biology. Biology itself is advancing at breakneck speed and many presentations completely fail to present the field in a truly modern context. This text does not attempt to present detailed clinical descriptions. Rather, after discussion of basic concepts, there is a concentration on recently developed findings equally relevant to basic research and a modern understanding of metabolic bone disease. The book will afford productive new insights into the intimate inter-relation of experimental findings and clinical understanding. Modern medicine is founded in the laboratory and demands of its practitioners a broad scientific understanding: these volumes are written to exemplify... more...
Footmarks of Innate Immunity in the Ovary and Cytokeratin-Positive Cells as Potential Dendritic Cellsby Katharina Spanel-Borowski
Springer 2011; US$ 139.00The monograph introduces innate immunity as second authority in the ovary besides the endocrine system. Innate immunity appears to orchestrate follicular atresia, follicle rupture, follicle transformation into a corpus luteum (CL) and CL regression through nonsterile inflammation and tissue repair. The concept is new. It centres on cytokeratin-positive (CK+) cells being recognized as a potential nonlymphoid dendritic cell type (DC). Part I describes morphological aspects of immune privilege starting with active hamster ovary implants into the chicken chorioallantois membrane. Follicular atresia and follicle rupture correspond with mild and moderate tissue damage in ovaries of small rodents and rabbits. Superovulations cause severe tissue damage... more...
