This book is a textbook for students studying the molecular and cellular bases of cancer at the undergraduate, graduate, and medical school levels. The principles of cancer biology are presented in an organized, cogent, and in-depth manner. The writing, supported by a full-col…
The process through which events in utero exert effects that manifest as disease decades later is termed fetal programming. The book is divided into three parts. ‘Programming the fetus’ sets out the basic principles of programming and considers the potential contribution of un…

A thorough overview of all neurotransmitters involved in schizophrenia.
The study of catatonia in Autism Spectrum Disorders is a novel and controversial topic. Catatonia is a motor disorder characterized by stereotypy, rigidity, mutism, and posturing. These motor signs are also characteristic of autism. The interest in the relation between autism an…
This volume focuses on how genetic models for schizophrenia, that is manipulation in genetic susceptibility factors for the disease, have potential in opening a new window of better understanding of etiology-relevant mechanisms. In addition, these models can provide a new platfo…
This book represents an essential reference manual for all of the well-characterized leukemia-lymphoma cell lines currently available. It provides the most important facts, using the succinct and user-friendly format that has made the FactsBooks so popular with scientists and cl…
"Parasitology: A Conceptual Approach is a new textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students which focuses on concepts and principles without neglecting important aspects of a traditional, taxonomically based approach to parasitology. Concentrating on concepts enab…
An extraordinary array of infectious agents affects humans; from worms, arthopods, and fungi to bacteria, viruses, and prions. In this compendium of the curious and fascinating organisms that cause disease, including Legionnaire's disease, mumps, CJD, and chlamydia, David I. G…
The underlying idea that cancer is a genetic disease at the cellular level was postulated over 75 years ago when Boveri hypothesised that the malignant cell was one that had obtained an abnormal chromatin content. However, it has been only the last decade where enormous strides …
Recent developments in molecular and statistical methods have made it possible to identify the genetic basis of any biological trait and have given rise to spectacular advances in the study of human disease. The book provides an overview of the concepts and methods needed to und…

This heavily illustrated text teaches parasitology from a biological perspective. It combines classical descriptive biology of parasites with modern cell and molecular biology approaches, and also addresses parasite evolution and ecology. Parasites found in mammals, non-mammalia…
In recent years, the need to develop acceptable alternatives to conventional animal testing for neurotoxicity and developmental neurotoxicity has been increasingly recognized, and much effort is being directed toward the development of alternative models, utilizing mostly mammal…
Annotation The sixth edition of this procedural guide provides public health professionals with a clear set of principles for investigating alleged foodborne illnesses. It covers everything from sample collection to interviewing victims and those at risk.
From the difficult to diagnose to the difficult to treat, be prepared for whatever your patients bring back. The revised and updated 22nd edition of this book provides you with the latest coverage on emerging and re-emerging diseases from around the world, such as multi-drug-res…
Advances in genomic and proteomic profiling of disease have transformed the field of molecular diagnostics, thus leading the way for a major revolution in clinical practice. While the range of tests for disease detection and staging is rapidly expanding, many physicians lack the…
