  • Fabry Diseaseby Deborah Elstein; Gheona Altarescu; Michael Beck

    Springer 2010; US$ 169.99

    Fabry disease is an X-linked inborn error of metabolism wherein deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme results in systemic deposition of glycosphingolipids. Storage deposition, and hence pathological disease, occurs preferentially in renal glomerular and tubular epithelial cells, myocardial cells, heart valve fibrocytes, neurons of dorsal root ganglia, and... more...

  • The Language of Lifeby Francis Collins

    Profile 2010; US$ 23.98

    We are in the midst of a medical revolution: in just a few years, we will be able to have our complete DNA sequenced at an affordable cost. Analysing the content of our genomes will allow a powerful estimate of our future risks of illness – from cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease, to cancer and diabetes – which will help us devise... more...

  • Insertional Mutagenesis Strategies in Cancer Geneticsby Adam J. Dupuy; David A. Largaespada

    Springer 2010; US$ 109.99

    The goal of this work is summarize the contribution that insertional mutagenesis has made to our understanding of cancer. A variety of insertional mutagens are presented that have been used to study a variety of tumor types in several model organisms. In addition, the impact of insertional mutagenesis in several gene therapy trials is discussed along... more...

  • Epigenetics and Diseaseby Susan Gasser; En Li

    Springer 2011; US$ 189.00

    Epigenetics has emerged recently as an important area of molecular biological studies. Epigenetic modifications lead to potentially heritable but reversible alterations in the expression of genes that determine cell fate. Epigenetic misregulation is thus often linked to degenerative diseases, cancer and neuronal disorders. Recent biomedical interest... more...

  • Diseases of DNA Repairby Shamim Ahmad

    Springer 2011; US$ 179.99

    Since this book is geared to be used by varied groups of readers such as advanced students and instructors in the fields of biology and medicine, scientists and more importantly clinicians, it is considered important to provide brief accounts of the basics of DNA damage, repair, mutagenesis and cancer. The purpose of this book is to present an updated... more...

  • MicroRNAs in Cancer Translational Researchby William C.S. Cho

    Springer 2011; US$ 149.99

    MicroRNA (miRNA) is a cutting-edge topic in the scientific and medical fields. This is a timely and specialized book focusing on the current understanding of miRNAs and the potential for their application in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic targets. It also provides discussion of the lessons learned from translational miRNA studies and... more...

  • Epigenetic Aspects of Chronic Diseasesby Helmtrud I. Roach; Felix Bronner; Richard O.C. Oreffo

    Springer 2011; US$ 139.99

    "Epigenetic Aspects of Chronic Diseases" assembles in comprehensive form what is known about the role of epigenetics in chronic disease development. This book provides new insights into treatment, including modulation of epigenetic regulation. Each chapter gives an outline of a respective disease, explains why epigenetics may be involved... more...

  • Hematopoietic Stem Cell Developmentby Isabelle Godin; Ana Cumano

    Springer 2010; US$ 139.99

    "Hematopoietic Stem Cells Development" brings together articles covering the biology of hematopoietic stem cells during embryonic development, reporting particular aspects of fly, fish, avian and mammalian models. Thus, this book allows a comparative overview of hematopoietic stem cell generation in the different classes, emphasizing the... more...

  • Recodingby John F. Atkins; Raymond F. Gesteland

    Springer 2010; US$ 189.99

    The genetic code is dynamic - it, or its readout, can be specifically changed by mRNA signals that modify the behavior of on-board ribosomes. Many viruses use recoding to maximize utilization of information in small genomes, and probably all organisms use recoding in at least some genes for expanding the regulatory repertoire. The volume will detail... more...

  • Your Genes, Your Healthby Aubrey Milunsky

    Oxford University Press, USA 2011; US$ 25.99

    New advances in genetics have dramatically expanded our ability to avoid, prevent, diagnose, and treat a wide range of disorders. Now, more than ever, families need to know about these new discoveries, especially as there are some 7,000 rare genetic diseases that afflict about 1 in 12 of us. In Your Genes, Your Health, Aubrey Milunsky provides an invaluable... more...
