Handbook of Epigenetics
Autor: Tollefsbol
Format: 638 stron, oprawa twarda
Data wydania: październik 2010
Wydawca: Academic Press
ISBN: 9780123757098
Epigenetics is considered by many to be the "new genetics" because the realization that many
biological phenomena are controlled not through gene mutations, but rather through reversible and
heritable epigenetic processes that have opened up new paths for discovery. The biological
processes impacted by epigenetics range from tissue/organ regeneration, X‐chromosome
inactivation, and stem cell differentiation to genomic imprinting and aging. The effects of epigenetics
are vast and encompass lower organisms as well as humans. Aberrations of epigenetics influence
many diseases involving but not limited to cancer, immune disorders, neurological and metabolic
disorders, and imprinting diseases. Clinical intervention is already in place for some of these
disorders and many novel epigenetic therapies are on the horizon.
Fundamentals of Inflammation
Autor: Serhan et al
Format: 488 stron, oprawa twarda
Data wydania: lipiec 2010
Wydawca: CUP
ISBN: 9780521887298
The acute inflammatory response is the body's first system of alarm signals that are directed toward
containment and elimination of microbial invaders. Uncontrolled inflammation has emerged as a
pathophysiologic basis for many widely occurring diseases in the general population that were not
initially known to be linked to the inflammatory response, including cardiovascular disease, asthma,
arthritis, and cancer. To better manage treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of these wide‐ranging
diseases, multidisciplinary research efforts are underway in both academic and industry settings. This
book provides an introduction to the cell types, chemical mediators, and general mechanisms of the
host's first response to invasion. World‐class experts from institutions around the world have written
chapters for this introductory text. The text is presented as an introductory springboard for graduate
students, medical scientists, and researchers from other disciplines wishing to gain an appreciation
and working knowledge of current cellular and molecular mechanisms fundamental to inflammation.

ISBN: 9789048130399
Stem Cell Biology in Health and Disease presents an up‐to‐date overview about the dual role of stem
cells in health and disease. The Editors have drawn together an international team of experts
providing chapters which, in this fully‐illustrated volume, discuss:
‐ the controversial debate on the great expectations concerning stem cell based regeneration
therapies raised by the pluripotency of various stem cells.
‐ the advantages and concerns about embryonic stem cells (ES cells), induced pluripotent stem cells
(iPS cells) and adult stem cells, such as bone marrow‐derived stem cells (BMDCs).
‐ the type of stem cells, which has become of interest in the past decade, namely so‐called cancer
stem cells (CSCs). CSCs are now in the focus of cancer research since the eradication of tumour
initiating cells would raise the changes of definitely cure cancer.

In the past decades our understanding of stem cell biology has increased tremendously. Many types
of stem cells have been discovered in tissues of which everyone presumed were unable to
regenerate in adults; these include particularly the heart and the brain. There is vast interest in stem
cells from biologists and clinicians who see the potential for regenerative medicine and future
treatments for chronic diseases like Parkinson, diabetes and spinal cord lesions based on the use of
stem cells and entrepreneurs in biotechnology who expect new commercial applications ranging
from drug discovery to transplantation therapies.

ISBN: 9780123814227
Virtually any disease that results from malfunctioning, damaged, or failing tissues may be potentially
cured through regenerative medicine therapies, by either regenerating the damaged tissues in vivo,
or by growing the tissues and organs in vitro and implanting them into the patient. Principles of
Regenerative Medicine discusses the latest advances in technology and medicine for replacing tissues
and organs damaged by disease and of developing therapies for previously untreatable conditions,
such as diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, and renal failure.
Essentials of Tissue Banking
Autor: Galea
Format: 245 stron, oprawa twarda
Data wydania: czerwiec 2010
Wydawca: Springer
ISBN: 9789048191413
Tissue banking is undergoing a paradigm shift. There are now a plethora of guidance and regulatory
documents, in response to recent regulation. There is however, relatively little information on the
scientific and technical principles on routine tissue banking practices. The information that exists is
relatively old and in somewhat obscure journals. This book attempts to provide a coherent and up to
date approach. Each author, who is a recognized expert in their field, was asked to illustrate the
processes involved in modern tissue banking practices. Where these are based on evidence and
science, they were asked to explain this in a clear and concise manner. Where evidence it is not
available, the authors were asked to provide the reasons why they believe practices have developed
the way they have. This could range from the precautionary principle, custom and practice, common
sense approach etc.
