It guides the reader through the immune system in all its aspects¿from the first engagement of innate immunity to the generation of the adaptive immune response and its clinical consequences. The Seventh Edition has been comprehensively updated throughout, and includes new information on topics such as NK cells, Toll-like receptors, AID, viral evasins, mucosal immunity, and celiac disease to name a few. Each copy of the book includes a CD-ROM, Immunobiology Interactive, which contains original immunological animations (including five new ones), videos selected from visually compelling experiments, as well as the figures from the text for presentation purposes | |
Optical Coherence Tomography in Cardiovascular Research Sinopse: Clinicians, biologists, engineers and physicist are discussing different aspects of cardiovascular OCT application in a multidisciplinary approach. The handbook offers a concise overview on the current state-of-the-art of vascular OCT imaging and sheds light on a variety of exciting new developments. The physics, technical principles of OCT, and its application in a broad spectrum of cardiovascular research areas are summarized by highly recognized specialists. The potential of OCT in peripheral and coronary arteries and in developmental cardiology are described. Each research area is introduced by a clinical expert in the field followed by discussion of different aspects from engineering, biomedical, and clinical perspectives. Specifically, the current capabilities for plaque characterization, detection of vulnerable plaque, guidance of interventional procedures, Doppler-assessment, and molecular contrast imaging are described. The summary of basic physics, engineering solutions, and pre-clinical and clinical application covers all relevant aspects and will be a valuable reference source.

MBOC 5 Paperback ISE Sinopse: Molecular Biology of the Cell is the classic in-depth text reference in cell biology. By extracting the fundamental concepts from this enormous and ever-growing field, the authors tell the story of cell biology, and create a coherent framework through which non-expert readers may approach the subject. Written in clear and concise language, and beautifully illustrated, the book is enjoyable to read, and it provides a clear sense of the excitement of modern biology. Molecular Biology of the Cell sets forth the current understanding of cell biology (completely updated as of Autumn 2001), and it explores the intriguing implications and possibilities of the great deal that remains unknown. The hallmark features of previous editions continue in the Fourth Edition. The book is designed with a clean and open, single-column layout. The art program maintains a completely consistent format and style, and includes over 1,600 photographs, electron micrographs, and original drawings by the authors.
