Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

New discoveries in genetics, molecular, and cell biology are not only enhancing our understanding of the etiology and progression of disease, but are finding applications in the development of new drugs or the implementation of new kinds of therapy. This book provides an in-depth review of emerging areas in biomedical research at the interface of science and clinical medicine, and highlights developments across a broad range of disciplines, bringing them to the attention of readers who might no…
