The role of parasites and pathogens in the evolution of life history traits is of increasing interest to both ecologists and evolutionary biologists. Immunology, which was once studied almost exclusively by immunologists, has become an important area of proximate investigation t…

Human immunosenescence contributes to morbidity and mortality in later life. This title collects papers that address the mechanisms responsible for immune ageing in humans and considers what might be accomplished to redress the erosion of immune competence with age.
Genome architecture and sequence variation in health and disease -- Genes and transcripts : insight into regulation at different levels -- Modifications : epigenetics and epigenomics -- Gene environment interactions : damage and control -- Phenotypes, phenocopies, pathways, and …
Examines the progress made in genetics and genomics, covering diseases, medicine and therapies, and more.
In South Asian's, the cardiovascular diseases of stroke and coronary heart disease (CVD) are epidemic, and diabetes mellitus (type 2) is pandemic. This book presents a synthesis that can help guide prevention, clinical care and research.
Surgeons need to know about genetics and how it interacts with modern surgical practice. Inherited diseases contribute to a substantial proportion of the surgical workload. Recognition of a positive history of disease in a family will allow genetic testing and precise diagnosis,…
