Anotace

This third edition of Introduction to Molecular Medicine presents the basics of molecular biology and its impact on medicine in a user-friendly, concise, conversational format. Designed as an entry-level tool for physicians and residents, this volume explains the fundamental principles vital to understanding the human genome, gene regulation and transcription, tools of recombinant DNA technology, and cytometry. Principles are then applied to the diagnosis and treatment of human disease in infectious disease, genetic disease, immunology, oncology, and environmental medicine. This edition contains information on PCR and PCR diagnostic kits, DNA fingerprinting, viral vectors, gene maps, gene regulation, tumor suppressor genes, a discussion on the advances in the treatment of breast cancer and brca1, and flow and image cytometry. This is a must-have information source for all physicians, residents and medical students. "Well written and...presented in a style that is eminently readable...as an introduction to the applications of molecular biology and clinical medicine, Dr. Ross' book is recommended...of particular interest to pathology and clinical medicine residents." - ARCHIVES OF PATHOLOGY, ON THE SECOND EDITION "...will appeal to students and clinicians who will appreciate an introduction to this complicated field which unlike others, is easy and good fun to read." - ANNALS OF ONCOLOGY, ON THE SECOND EDITION The third edition of this title reflects the incredible advances in molecular medicine since publication of the last edition in 1996. Fully rewritten with mostly new illustrations, this edition includes up-to-date discussions of such cutting edge topics as the sequencing of the human genome and embryo stem cell research. The basics of molecular biology are presented in a reader-friendly, conversational tone. Each chapter begins with an overview and ends with a summary; all concepts and vocabulary are defined in the glossary. Another special feature of this title is the author's "Asides" on topics such as 'human spare parts', infectious vaccines, genetically engineered food, and more!
