chapters. Throughout the book, hemoglobin disorders are employed as a model of molecular pathology. Profusely illustrated, the volume will be invaluable for those seeking to become familiar with the basic concepts of molecular biology and its application to medicine, especially if, like me, you have had difficulty in following the scientific literature and words such as probes, gene cloning, ge...

Introduction to molecular biology of influenza a viruses.

This minireview presents an overview of current knowledge on virion structure, genome organization and basic events in the development of influenza A virus. The processes of entry, transcription/replication and viral release are described. In this context, the roles of viral proteins (including recently discovered minor polypeptides) in the subsequent stages of viral development are also discus...

Basic science MYOCARDIAL MOLECULAR BIOLOGY: AN INTRODUCTION

The recent publication of draft copies of the human genome sequence from both public and private sector consortia has fuelled anticipation that eventually, once all genes have been identified, we will be able to ascertain which of them are involved in human diseases, including those affecting the cardiovascular system. Understanding the molecular biology behind both inherited and acquired disor...

Introduction to Cancer Biology

By the time the reader reaches Chapter 20, which focuses specifically on cancer, the mechanisms and symptoms of cancer are relatively easy to understand. Chapter 20 covers topics such as the cellular phenotypes of cancer, genes linked to cancer, and cancer treatment. While the primary literature citations at the end of the chapter will provide good starting points for the curious student, a mor...
