Gene Therapy and Cell Therapy Through the Liver
This book reports the recent progress in gene and cell therapy through the liver and aims to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the current aspects and future prospects from basic research to clinical therapies. Edited by pioneering researchers, this volume presents extensive information to principal investigators, researchers, postdocs and clinicians for examining the wide varieties of pathological conditions both inside and outside the liver. Providing not only the basic and clinical aspects of therapy, this volume is special in that it focuses on the administrative and regulatory difficulties of actual clinical application and legal regulations in different parts of the globe. By indicating the advantages and limitations of the most promising gene and cell therapies targeting the liver, this book will inspire readers to develop a feasible treatment in the next generation.
General and Inorganic Chemistry in Medicine
This book is intended for students in medicine, pharmacy, and dentistry, physicians, dentists, pharmacists, biochemists, and more. In General Chemistry, the laws of chemistry, the structure of simple and complex compounds, chemical bonds, solutions, chemical reactions, kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamics, protolytic and redox processes, and sorption are discussed. In Inorganic Chemistry, chemical elements, inorganic compounds, and their significance for medicine are presented. It is focused on developing metal-based diagnostic and therapeutic agents. The significance of coordination chemistry to modulate enzyme activity is discussed. The production of reactive oxygen species selectively damaging cancer cells is described, too. Short biographies of chemists and scientists, which have rendered services to general and inorganic chemistry in medicine, are given in a person index.
Nitric Oxide
General Description of the Volume: Nitric Oxide, recently designated "Molecule of the Year," impinges on a wide range of fields in biological research, particularly in the areas of biomedicine and cell and organismal biology, as well as in fundamental chemistry. This volume will be a valuable resource for the experienced researcher as well as for those newly entering the field. This volume continues the coverage of new and important tools for the elucidation of Nitric Oxide action initiated in Volumes 268 and 269 of Methods in Enzymology. Techniques for researching the physiology and toxicity of nitric oxide in cellular and organismal systems are highlighted. General Description of the Serie...
Control of Pestivirus Infections in the Management of Wildlife Populations
Infections with recognized and putative species of the genus pestivirus are not host-specific and are documented in many wildlife species. The study of pestivirus infections in wildlife species is important both to eradication programs and programs for maintaining the health and well-being of wildlife populations. Free-ranging wildlife species may act as reservoirs for pestiviruses that infect domestic species. For this reason, eradication efforts for classical swine fever virus include control of the virus in wild boar populations. The contribution of free-ranging species to the circulation of BVDV1, BVDV2, and BDV is less well understood. While substantial damage due to pestivirus infections has been demonstrated in a few specific wildlife populations, the impact of pestiviral infections on the well-being of most captive and free-ranging wildlife populations is largely unknown. The research topics summarizes our current understanding of pestiviral infections in wildlife and discusses the challenges in understanding and mediating their impact on captive and free ranging wildlife species.
Nature’s Amazing Chemistry
Nature’s amazing chemistry has been producing all the raw materials essential for life on Earth for billions of years. The chemistry is, however, diverse and often complex and challenging. It has unfathomable depths that chemists and other scientists around the world are still attempting to probe and understand. Chapters in this book reflect Michael Freemantle’s fascination with nature’s chemistry not only of humans and other animals, but also of plants and minerals. You will discover: the chemistry of fruit flies, lobsters and beavers; the chemistry of snowdrops, wild cabbages and Himalayan blue poppies; the chemistry of minerals containing cobalt and other elements, the mining of which has in some cases led to environmental degradation and human rights abuses. Michael Freemantle is a science writer who has written numerous books and articles on chemistry, the history of science and related topics. They include The Chemists’ War: 1914–1918 published by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
The Polymer Revolution
How were the polymers which have transformed our world created? How has our understanding of polymers changed since the Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius coined the word ‘polymer’ in 1832? Who were the people who wrought the polymer revolution? This book answers these questions by presenting a compelling narrative that weaves together the history of polymer science, the development of new plastics and rubbers and biographies of the leading actors in this revolution. A key feature of the polymer revolution was the involvement of industry. The author shows how industry supported research in factories and universities and how academic research assisted the development of new polymers. A...
The Biology of Nitric Oxide
These are the proceedings of 4th International Meeting on the Biology of Oxides, 1995. The book provides an overview of the current status of the field with contributions from over 450 specialists including the areas of enzymology, molecular cloning, and the biochemical actions of NO.
