This detailed volume provides an updated overview of current uses of peptide microarray technology, showcasing consolidated applications while highlighting some of the most intriguing novelties and emerging fields of use.
This detailed volume explores the frontiers of this new era in cancer cytogenetics and cytogenomics, focusing on establishing a karyotype as an information-based genomic framework, as well as presenting technological platforms for collecting and analyzing data at the genome level.
Shim and Baek examine the evolving existential meanings of gift-making by interviewing donors of convalescent blood plasma during the Covid-19 pandemic.
This book discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic is exacerbating racial inequalities in education, labor, and health and the steps needed to address these disparities.
La migraña es un tipo de dolor crónico que afecta a amplios sectores de la población y, al mismo tiempo, pone en cuestión los modos de reconocer y legitimar socialmente un malestar ya que carece de evidencias empíricas, de respuestas certeras desde los saberes biomédicos, y su diagnóstico emerge luego de realizar estudios que dan bien y de descartar algo grave.
This book makes an original contribution in addressing contemporary critical discussions and reflections on international health policies, strategies, programmes, systems, diseases, disasters, and public health issues.
This book reviews recent advances in the molecular and infection biology, pathology, and molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as well as the identification and validation of novel molecular drug targets for the treatment of this mycobacterial disease.
This book represents a new and hopeful paradigm for treatment of diseases that are spreading globally as countries adopt Western lifestyles and standards of living.
This book will serve as the preeminent text book on the topic of 'base excision repair', a key DNA repair pathway that protects cells from most spontaneous forms of DNA damage, including oxidative lesions that arise both in the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes.
The monograph applies sophisticated topological symmetry tools to biological applications of information theory, along with a Black-Scholes model invocation of the Data Rate Theorem which links information and control theories.
The recent explosion of information in innate immune pathways for recognition, effect or responses, and genetic regulation has given impetus to investigations into analogous pathways in the human immune response, which in turn has produced attendant insights into both normal physiology and immunopathology.
Despite substantial evidence showing the feasibility of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to identify cells with altered elastic and adhesive properties, the use of this technique as a complementary diagnostic method remains controversial.
This invaluable book provides an introduction to the development and application of molecular biology with a focus on translational research development in a variety of gastrointestinal cancers.
Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases is at the crossroads between two major scientific fields of the 21st century: evolutionary biology and infectious diseases.
Gastrointestinal Malignancies: New Innovative Diagnostics and Treatment summarizes new advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal malignancies, thereby providing the most current and up-to-date knowledge on gastrointestinal malignancies to medical students, gastroenterologists, general surgeons, oncologic surgeons, and oncologists.
Recent years have seen the development of novel technologies that use nanoparticles and microparticles to deliver vaccines by the oral and microneedle-based transdermal route of administration.
The considerable increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer in children in areas exposed to the fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident has drawn attention to the need for a better understanding of the relationship between radiation exposure (especially from the radionuclides of iodine) and the risk of thyroid cancer.
This volume focuses on novel developments in our basic understanding of the anatomy, molecular biology and cell biology of the normal human pancreas and the mechanisms underlying changes in chronic pancreatitis.
With advances in our understanding of the molecular biology of human diseases and the development of efficient gene transfer techniques, the treatment of such diseases as cancer and infectious disease using gene therapy has progressed from a distant prospect to a distinct possibility in a very short time.
This research monograph discusses newly developed mathematical models and methods that provide biologically meaningful inferences from data on cancer latency produced by follow-up and discrete surveillance studies.
