Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine in Ophthalmology

Humana Press, 2012

In the last few decades, stem cell research has developed groundbreaking technologies to both study and treat diseases. This research has proven fruitful for the field of ophthalmology, especially in recent years. With its relative immune privilege, the eye has proven an ideal testing ground for stem cell therapies.

Between the Lines of Genetic Code: Genetic Interactions in Understanding Disease and Complex Phenotypes

Academic Press, 2013

Between the Lines of Genetic Code lays out methodologies and tools for the measurement and evaluation of gene-gene and gene-environment studies and gives perspective on the future of this discipline. The book begins by defining terms for interaction studies, describing methodologies, and critically assessing the viability of current...

Nutrigenomics (Oxidative Stress and Disease)

CRC Press, 2005

Nutrition research commenced more than 200 years ago in the dawn of the chemical revolution. The “golden age of nutrition” began in the early 1910s and continued into the 1940s when nutritional sciences focused primarily on diseases associated with single nutrient deficiencies. This led to the formulation of the...

Cancer Gene Therapy (Contemporary Cancer Research)

Humana Press, 2004

A complete introduction and guide to the latest developments in cancer gene therapy-from bench to bedside. The authors comprehensively review the anticancer genes and gene delivery methods currently available for cancer gene therapy, including the transfer of genetic material into the cancer cells, stimulation of the immune system to...

Human Genome Epidemiology, 2nd Edition

Oxford University Press, 2010

The first edition of Human Genome Epidemiology, published in 2004, discussed how the epidemiologic approach provides an important scientific foundation for studying the continuum from gene discovery to the development, applications and evaluation of human genome information in improving health and preventing disease. Since that time,...

Bioinformatics: High Performance Parallel Computer Architectures (Embedded Multi-Core Systems)

CRC Press, 2010

New sequencing technologies have broken many experimental barriers to genome scale sequencing, leading to the extraction of huge quantities of sequence data. This expansion of biological databases established the need for new ways to harness and apply the astounding amount of available genomic information and convert it into substantive...

Molecular Basis of Thyroid Cancer (Cancer Treatment and Research)

Springer, 2005

Thyroid cancer is the fastest growing cancer in the U.S., especially among women. Given the relative success we have had in its treatment, there is a need to capitalize on it by better understanding the factors that underpin this malignancy, and exploring better strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. To do so, we must...

New Dimensions in Photo Processes: A Step by Step Manual, Third Edition

Focal Press, 2000

The writing of this book was undertaken almost by accident. While I was freelancing as an illustrator, I showed my portfolio of photo images to Lista Duren, an editor at Curtin & London Publishing Company. Ms. Duren brought the portfolio to Dennis Curtin, who, on the spot, asked me to write a book about the techniques represented. Curtin &...

Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase Genes in Lipid Metabolism

Springer, 2013

Obesity and diabetes develop as a complex result of genetic, metabolic and environmental factors and are characterized by increased lipogenesis and lipid accumulation in many tissues. Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) genes are a critical regulator of lipogenesis and catalyzes the synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), mainly oleoyl-...

Milestones in Matrix Computation: The selected works of Gene H. Golub with commentaries

Oxford University Press, 2007

At a meeting in Moscow in June 2005, Gil Strang suggested that there be a collection of Gene Golub's work to highlight his many important contributions to numerical analysis. The three of us were honored to undertake this pleasant task, with publication timed for February "29", 2007, the 75th anniversary of Gene's birth.

Breast Cancer Research Protocols (Methods in Molecular Medicine)

Humana Press, 2005

A collection of both well-established and cutting-edge methods for investigating breast cancer biology not only in the laboratory, but also in clinical settings. These readily reproducible techniques solve a variety of problems, ranging from how to collect, store, and prepare human breast tumor samples for analysis, to analyzing cells in vivo...

miRNA Regulation of the Translational Machinery (Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology)

Springer, 2009

The silencing of gene expression by small interfering RNAs has been recognized for only a relatively short time, but this has transformed our understanding of both transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene regulatory mechanisms. Multiple pathways culminate in formation of an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) containing a member of the...
