  • Signal Transduction and Human Diseaseby Toren Finkel; J. Silvio Gutkind

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 189.95

    This book uniquely relates the broad impact of signal transduction research on the understanding and treatment of human disease. There have been significant advances in the area of signaling in disease processes, yet no resource presently connects these advances with understanding of disease processes and applications for novel therapeutics. Given the emphasis on translational research and biological relevance in biotechnology, and, conversely, the importance of molecular approaches for clinical research, it is evident that a single resource bridging signaling research and human disease will be invaluable. more...

  • Health and Social Organizationby David Blane; Eric Brunner; Richard Wilkinson

    Routledge 1996; US$ 65.00

    Leading British and North American researchers show that determinants of health are to be found in social, economic and cultural circumstances. Examines recent public health policy as well as focusing on social organization issues. more...

  • Physiological Pharmaceuticsby Neena Washington; Clive G. Washington; Clive Wilson

    CRC Press 2000; US$ 57.95

    This work provides an integrated approach to the study of drug formulations in the body, with emphasis on formulation variables rather than drugs; reflecting mid-to-late 1990s concentration on new delivery systems rather than new drugs. more...

  • The Science and Ethics of Engineering the Human Germ Lineby Jon W. Gordon

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 99.95

    With implications that go to the core of what it means to be human, the issues raised by genetic manipulation-especially cloning-have sparked a passionate debate among governmental, religious, and scientific quarters, as well as the media and the general public. Keeping to the actual science rather than speculation is of the utmost importance for an enlightened approach to this weighty discussion. In clear, lively prose, The Science and Ethics of Engineering the Human Germ Line: Mendel's Maze provides an authoritative treatment of the principles of science and bioethics that bear upon such technologies as germ-line insertion and cloning. It offers a realistic assessment of possible applications, limitations, and new developments likely... more...

  • Immunoinformaticsby Novartis Foundation

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 195.00

    The astounding diversity of the immune system and the complexity of its regulatory pathways makes immunology a combinatorial science. Computational analysis has therefore become an essential element of immunology research and this has led to the creation of the emerging field of immunoinformatics. This book is the first to feature thorough coverage of this new field. Immunoinformatics facilitates the understanding of immune function by modelling the interactions among immunological components. Biological research provides ever deeper insights into the complexity of living organisms while computer science provides an effective means to store and analyse large volumes of complex data. Combining the two fields increases the efficiency of biological... more...

  • An Introduction to Tissue-Biomaterial Interactionsby Kay C. Dee; David A. Puleo; Rena Bizios

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 164.95

    An Introduction to Tissue-Biomaterial Interactions acquaints an undergraduate audience with the fundamental biological processes that influence these sophisticated, cutting-edge procedures. Chapters one through three provide more detail about the molecular-level events that happen at the tissue-implant interface, while chapters four through ten explore selected material, biological, and physiological consequences of these events. The importance of the body’s wound-healing response is emphasized throughout. Specific topics covered include:Structure and properties of biomaterials Proteins Protein-surface interactions Blood-biomaterial interactions Inflammation and infection The immune system Biomaterial responses to implantation... more...

  • Tissue Engineering of Cartilage and Boneby Novartis Foundation

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 195.00

    Tissue engineering takes advantages of the combined use of cultured living cells and three-dimensional scaffolds to reconstruct adult tissues that are absent or malfunctioning. This book brings together scientists and clinicians working on a variety of approaches for regenerating of damaged or lost cartilage and bone to assess the progress of this dynamic field. In its early days, tissue engineering was driven by material scientists who designed novel bio-resorbable scaffolds on which to seed cells and grow tissues. This ground-breaking work generated high expectations, but there have been significant stumbling blocks holding back the widespread use of these techniques in the clinic. These challenges, and potential ways of overcoming them,... more...

  • Life Scriptby Nicholas Wade

    Simon & Schuster 2002; US$ 9.99

    With the decoding of the human genome, researchers can now read the script in which evolution has written the program for the design and operation of the human body. A new generation of medical treatments is at hand. Researchers are developing therapies so powerful that there is now no evident obstacle to the ancient goal of conquering most major diseases. Nicholas Wade has covered the sequencing of the genome, as well as other health and science stories, for The New York Times, in the course of which he has interviewed many of the principal researchers in the field. In this book he describes what the genome means for the health of present and future generations. Someday soon physicians will have access to DNA chips that, from a drop... more...
