Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The insights following the wake of the Human Genome project are radically influencing our understanding of the molecular basis of life, health and disease. The improved accuracy and precision of clinical diagnostics is also beginning to have an impact on therapeutics in a fundamental way. This book is suitable for undergraduate medical students, as part of their basic sciences training, but is also relevant to interested under- and postgraduate science and engineering students. It serves as an introductory text for medical registrars in virtually all specialties, and is also of value to the General Practitioner wishing to keep up to date, especially in view of the growing, internet-assisted public knowledge of the field. There is a special focus on the application of molecular medicine in Africa and in developing countries elsewhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lecture Notes on Molecular Medicine provides a concise and straightforward introduction to molecular biology, explaining how it is used to understand and treat human disease. This new edition has been written in response to exciting changes in this fast-moving field. Fully updated, it explains the human genome project and how the sequence will change medicine. It also covers many new methods that have been introduced since the first edition was published. Beginning with first principles, the book is a useful primer for any science student new to molecular biology and genetics. It is also an invaluable resource for medical students and practicing doctors who need an understanding of how advances in molecular biology have impacted clinical medicine, especially in the fields of gene therapy and screening. For ease of use Lecture Notes on Molecular Medicine is divided into four sections: Basic Principles: describing the fundamentals of DNA structure and function that underpin molecular biology Biomolecular Tools: covering the manipulation of DNA and RNA and molecular techniques. Understanding Genetics: covering the basic principles of inheritance, biodiversity, gene mapping and expression and gene therapy. Molecular Medicine in Practice: discussing the profound effect which molecular biology has had on medical practice at all levels. This chapter has been greatly expanded in this new edition to cover all the latest developments in the field. A concise introduction to the basic principles & applications of molecular medicine. Explains complicated science in simple terms with clear diagrams. Integrates basic and clinical science by emphasising application to clinical medicine. Expanded chapter examining molecular medicine in clinical practice.

Book excerpt: George Tsokos and a panel of authoritative clinicians and researchers synthesize the latest findings from across cell and molecular biology with the basic principles of rheumatology to create the first textbook of molecular rheumatology. These established experts describe the biochemical mechanisms by which apoptosis, cell signaling, complement, lipids, and viruses contribute to disease expression, and detail both immune and nonimmune cell function in rheumatic diseases. Their review of the major rheumatic diseases integrates the cellular, biochemical, and molecular biological mechanisms that are important in rheumatic disease pathogenesis. Path-breaking and illuminating, Principles of Molecular Rheumatology expands the envelope of clinical understanding to reveal the biological roots underlying rheumatologic disease, as well as the nature and roles of the powerful new therapeutics now emerging for its optimal treatment.
