Essentials of Apoptosis: A Guide for Basic and Clinical Research

Humana Press, 2003

Life and death are topics that no one takes lightly. In the cell, death by apoptosis is just as fundamental as proliferation for the maintenance of normal tissue homeostasis. Too much or too little apoptosis can lead to developmental abnormality, degenerative diseases, or cancers. Although apoptosis, or programmed cell death (PCD),...

Mastering Scientific and Medical Writing: A Self-help Guide

Springer, 2006

You may ask why anyone would want to write yet another book about scientific writing. There are many books on the subject, some more useful than others, and the abundance of literature on this topic may confuse rather than guide.

I felt that this book was necessary for several reasons. During the past years, I...

Immunopharmacology of Platelets (Handbook of Immunopharmacology)

Academic Press, 1995

Although anucleated, blood platelets are extraordinarily efficient cells and still the subject of fruitful investigations in haematology, in vascular physiology, in biochemistry, and more recently in immunology and in physiopathology where their metabolism has been implicated as a source of potential effector compounds.

Congestive Heart Failure

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006

Having first decided to organize and edit a book on heart failure in 1992 (with a 1994 publication date), we have been astounded at the changes in the field over a relatively brief 14-year period.

W. H. Freeman, 1979

Few technical lerms have gained such rapid notoriety as the appela tion "NP-complete." In the short lime since its introduction in the early 1970's, this term has come to symbolize the abyss of inherent intractability that algorithm designers increasingly face as they seek to solve larger and more complex problems. A...

Quantitative MRI of the Brain: Measuring Changes Caused by Disease

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

This book was conceived one balmy March evening on the banks of the river Brisbane, in Queensland, Australia, where I had just arrived for a sabbatical, and it became clear that the traditions of measurement science and MRI should meet. The notion of a guide, a cook-book, for quantitative MRI (qMR) techniques took seed, and attained its own...

Neuroethics: Challenges for the 21st Century

Cambridge University Press, 2007

In the late 1960s, a new field of philosophical and moral enquiry came into existence. Bioethics, as it soon came to be called, quickly mushroomed: it developed its own journals, its own professional associations, its own conferences, degree programs and experts. It developed very rapidly for many reasons, but no doubt the main...
