Aging, Immunity, and Infection
Joseph F. Albright , Julia W. Albright
editore: Humana Press Inc.
pagine: 242
The preparation of Aging, Immunity, and Infection has been a "labor of labor. " When we began, there existed a huge literature-but manage- able, we thought, given our years of experience in the area often referred to as immunogerontology. However, in the time that we have been at work, the new relevant literature has increased at a prodigious rate. The more we read and tried to assimilate, the farther we fell behind. In order to have any hope of completing a book on this rapidly evolving topic, we have been forced to become increasingly selective in covering new and re cent publications. We dare to hope that many read- ers will find the book useful and only a few will dweIl on the inevitable inadequacies. We consider the book a work in progress, and welcome suggestions for future editions. Five chapters cover several aspects of infection and the decline of immunity with age. The first chapter "Human Aging: Present and Future," is devoted to demographics and theories of senescence. Chap- ter 2 outlines the gradual breakdown of resistance to infection in the aged individual. Chapters 3 and 4 cover changes in innate and acquired immunity.
The final chapter, "Nutrition, Longevity, and Integrity of the Immune System," discusses such provocative ideas as life-span exten- sion and nutritional intervention for the delay of immunosenescence.
Tumor Prevention and Genetics
Hans-Jorg Senn , Rudolf Morant
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 273
This book presents a comprehensive update of the latest findings in oncogenetics. It also investigates the relevance of preclinical models with respect to clinical cancer prevention (primary and secondary) for major cancer types such as breast, skin, lung, prostate and colon cancer. All contributions have been written by internationally recognised experts in the field.
The Analysis of Gene Expression Data

editore: Springer Verlag New York Inc.
pagine: 475
This book presents practical approaches for the analysis of data from gene expression micro-arrays. It describes the conceptual and methodological underpinning for a statistical tool and its implementation in software. The book includes coverage of various packages that are part of the Bioconductor project and several related R tools. The materials presented cover a range of software tools designed for varied audiences.
Genetics for Endocrinologists
The Molecular Genetic Basis of Endocrine Disorders
Benjamin Glaser , Harry J. Hirsch
editore: ReMedica
pagine: 414
This text was conceived as a tool to address the problems encountered by an endocrinologist when sureveying the wealth of information available from the past two decades of genetic research. The ability to pinpoint genetic defects responsible for a specific endocrine disorder opens the possibility of faster and simpler diagnosis, improved understanding of disease mechanisms, and development of new treatment modalities. However, the abundance of information attained may be so overwhelming that the practicing physician may be unable to apply this knowledge to the daily routine of clinical practice. This book provides a concise summary of the most current information available on over 100 endocrine diseases, organized as a rapid reference guide. The text also provides references for review articles and other citations from current medical journals. Furthermore, the reader can consult the OMIM website, using the MIM numbers listed for each specific disease. The diagrams of metabolic pathways provide summaries for medical students, endocrine fellows, as well as senior physicians.
The glossary of genetic terminology can serve asan introduction to the language of genetics, and also act as a mini-reference dictionary.
Small Molecule
Protein Interaction
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 228
Based on the international workshop on 'Small Molecule - Protein Interactions' held in Berlin, April 24-26, 2002, researchers from industry and academic laboratories describe novel and efficient ways selecting promising new drug targets and developing small molecule inhibitors against them. The structure of the book corresponds to the different aspects of the drug discovery process. All chapters are written by leading experts in the field, who present and discuss the most recent state-of-the-art tools and techniques for the development of novel drugs. The value of the book lies in surveying and summarizing the approaches taken by different companies and institutions giving the reader a balanced view on the use of the latest techniques on the one hand and experience-based assistance in selecting appropriate tools for their own work on the other hand.
Hormones, Genes and Cancer

editore: Oxford University Press Inc
pagine: 464
Hormonal carcinogenesis is an important and controversial area of research. In addition to accelerating existing cancers, can hormones play the role of primary carcinogens? And how do genetic factors influence hormone-related cancer risk? This work addresses these questions. During the last few decades of the 20th century, cancer research focused on external environmental causes (for example, tobacco smoke, viruses, asbestos). With the advent of genetic sequencing techniques, we are just now beginning to understand how the body's internal environment (that is, the hormones and growth factors that determine normal development) influences cancer etiology and prevention. From molecular insights to clinical analyses, this volume provides state-of-the-art information on the complex interactions between hormones and genes and cancer. The epidemiology and molecular endocrinology of prostate, breast, uterine, ovarian and testicular cancer are detailed in this timely treatise.
Genetics in Obstetrics and Gynecology
Joe Leigh Simpson , Sherman Elias
editore: Saunders (W.B.) Co Ltd
pagine: 512
This title assumes no prior knowledge of the subject. Now in its third edition, this highly respected text has become the recognised source of information on the genetic aspects of obstetrics and gynaecology. It includes highly topical information on gynaecological cancers and sex differentiation, combined with a practical review of the basic principles of genetics. Written by two of the best-known experts in the field, this book includes the most up-to-date and clinically relevant information, which can be applied in obstetric and gynaecological practice.

Psychiatric Genetics and Genomics

editore: Oxford University Press
pagine: 482
Genetics promises to provide one of the most powerful approaches to understanding the functional pathology of the human brain. This book presents a critical review of the evidence for a genetic contribution to common psychiatric conditions and the rarer single-gene disorders that may have psychiatric presentations. The first section of the book introduces the reader to molecular biology and the techniques of molecular genetics. The coverage then moves on to consider the genetics of normal and abnormal development, followed by a look at the genetics of abnormal behaviour in adults. This section includes, amongst others, consideration of personality disorders, schizophrenia and the dementias. The final section considers the applications of the work and covers issues such as counselling and ethics, closing with a look to the future. The editors are internationally renowned figures in this field and they have invited a team of equally eminent chapter authors. This will be essential reading for psychiatrists and geneticists and will be of interest to neurologists, psychologists and neuroscientists.
