| Mechanisms in Blood Coagulation, Fibrinolysis and the Complement System
Lowest new price: $84.57
Lowest used price: $100.48
List price: $101.00
Author: Torben Halkier
|
Blood coagulation and fibrinolysis has been traditionally classed as a part of hematology and the complement system as a part of immunology. An analysis of these two systems at a molecular level, however, has revealed some intriguing evolutionary relationships among some of the macromolecules involved. Evidently, there are similarities in the cascade of reactions that characterize the processes. It is therefore highly suitable that these topics are presented together in one volume. This book presents a thorough explanation and analysis of our current understanding of the proteins and enzymes involved in each of the three processes, and includes a section devoted to special topics of relevance, such as the kinin system, glycosylation, signal peptides, and the serpin family.

| Coagulation and Flocculation: Theory and Applications (Surfactant Science)
Lowest new price: $106.00
Lowest used price: $59.99
List price: $279.95
|
This volume details the thermodynamics and kinetics of the adsorption of surfactants and polymers on solids, as well as coagulation and flocculation mechanisms - demonstrating the applicability of the newest theoretical approaches on practical systems.;Written by over 15 international experts in the field, Coagulation and Flocculation: treats the Gouy-Chapman theory of an isolated planar charged surface and the DLVO theory describing the interaction between two identical charged surfaces; shows which energies are responsible for structure formation, what types of structure can be built in diluted and concentrated systems and how such structures can be studied and characterized; describes the interplay between interface and hydrodynamic forces and derives equations for calculating their individual probabilities; examines the use of microscopy, photography, individual particle sensors, sedimentation and light scattering to measure aggregate size distributions; and discusses methods for forming ceramics and the effects of improvements in powder packing and the stabilization of powder suspensions on processing steps.

| Immunodiagnostics: A Practical Approach (Practical Approach Series)
Lowest new price: $2.99
Lowest used price: $0.01
List price: $99.00
|
Immunodiagnostic tests are analytical methods that use antibodies as reagents whose results are used to aid diagnosis and are widely used in many scientific disciplines and in many different ways. Perhaps the most widespread and obvious use is in clinical applications, but immunodiagnostic tests are also used in other fields such as forensic science and environmental and food analysis. The different types of test range from simple manual methods to fully automated systems with sophisticated integrated detection. Immunodiagnostics: A Practical Approach starts off by explaining the principles and development of immunodiagnostic tests, specifically the use of radioisotopes as tracers. Chapter 2 explains the use of solid-phase supports to bind immunoreagents. Enzymes are widely used as labels in immunoassays and their use with colourimetric, fluorimetric, and chemiluminescent detection systems is described. The use of enzymes as labels reflects the move away from radioisotopes and one of the most powerful non- radioisotopic procedures is the time-resolved fluorescence assay. Enzymes can also be used as a simple method of obtaining high performance from immunodiagnostics and this application is covered later in the book. The next set of techniques to be described are light scattering techniques, which can be used in either simple manual assays or in sophisticated automated procedures. The penultimate chapter describes the principles of automation of immunodiagnostic tests. The last topic to be discussed is that of quality assurance.

Lowest new price: $81.00
Lowest used price: $70.00
List price: $81.00
Author: Valery V. Tuchin
|
Dr. Tuchin describes an optical clearing method based on reversible reduction of tissue scattering due to refractive index matching of scatterers and ground matter. This technique, which has been of great interest for research and application in the last decade, is a promising technique for future developments in the fields of tissue imaging, spectroscopy, phototherapy, and laser surgery. Contents - Preface - Introduction: Brief Review - Tissue and Blood Optical Immersion by Exogenous Chemical Agents - Optical Clearing of Fibrous Tissues - Optical Clearing of Skin - Optical Clearing of Gastric Tissue - Tissue Structural Properties Studies at Optical Immersion - Optical Clearing of Blood, Cells, and Microorganisms - Chemical Agent Delivery - Applications - Other Methods of Tissue Optical Properties Control - Conclusion - References

Award winning basic scientists and clinical researchers summarize the wealth of new molecular knowledge that sees cancer as a "disease process" involving key regulatory pathways. Emphasizing prevention, early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, these authoritative experts from around the world illuminate the variety of molecular markers to be found, interpret what is known about diseased regulatory pathways, and examine those future research directions likely to realize the promise of molecular therapy. From their presentations, readers will gain an understanding of why current therapies fail, and of the new processes now available to identify specific molecular targets for optimal therapeutic efficacy. Comprehensive and path-breaking, Principles of Molecular Oncology offers both basic and clinical oncologists not only a bold synthesis of the rapid and complex advances in molecular biology that are transforming our knowledge of cancer, but also a highly practical guide to today's strategies for its diagnosis and treatment.

This complete updating and expansion of a highly praised survey of the molecular basis of cancer reflects emerging knowledge coming from genomics, proteomics, chemoprevention strategies, new molecular targets, therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, and innovative cytotoxic and cytostatic small molecular weight compounds. New topics of special interest include the combining of molecular diagnostics (expression profiling of genes and proteins) with developmental therapeutics and the "binary state" concept (active/inactive) that seeks more relevant targets within the global molecular matrix of a given cancer. The book looks forward to new strategies that will not just attempt to "kill" cancer cells and "cure" cancers forever, but to hit those molecular targets to reduce the proliferative advantage of cancer cells and abolish or diminish their metastatic properties.
