Introduction to Molecular Medicine

This updated and revised third edition of Introduction to Molecular Medicine explains the fundamental principles vital to an understanding of the human genome, gene regulation and expression, and genetic engineering. Principles are then applied to the diagnosis and treatment of human disease in infectious diseases, inherited genetic diseases, the immune system and blood cells, cancer, and public health. Fully rewritten and with dozens of new illustrations, the Third Edition presents the basics of molecular biology and its impact on medicine in a concise, conversational format. Each chapter begins with an overview and ends with a summary. This edition also contains new discussions on the human genome project and genetic engineering with updated genetic maps.Ross' Introduction to Molecular Medicine remains a must-have information source for all physicians, residents, and medical students, as the books stellar reviews demonstrate:"Well written and...presented in a style that is eminently readable...as an introduction to the applications of molecular biology and clinical medicine, Dr. Ross' book is recommended...of particular interest to pathology and clinical medicine residents."; Archives of Pathology on the Second Edition"will appeal to students and clinicians who will appreciate an introduction to this complicated field which unlike others, is easy and good fun to read.

  • "How will increased understanding of the human genome affect our ability to diagnose and treat disease? The subject of recombinant DNA technology is no longer limited to the research laboratory; it is being discussed in ever-widening medical circles. Introduction to Molecular Medicine is especially written for the physician who is not a genetics expert but wishes to understand this new science and find entry to the more specialized publications. The first chapters present the basic concepts of the human genome and gene regulation. Subsequent chapters consider how today's new approach can be applied in areas such as forensic medicine, transplantation medicine, drug manufacture and genetic engineering. For example, a major section on cancer explores the diagnosis of leukemia and lymphoma through the detection of gene rearrangement and oncongeny mutation. One feature that will especially interest pathologists, pediatricians and residents is the discussion of diagnostic tests that are used in current practice."

  • "The fully updated and revised second edition of Introduction to Molecular Medicine presents the basics of molecular biology and its impact on medicine in a user-friendly, concise, conversational format. Designed as an entry-level tool for physicians and residents, this volume explains the fundamental principles vital to an understanding of the human genome, gene regulation and transcription, the tools of recombinant DNA technology, and cytometry. These principles are then applied to the diagnosis and treatment of human disease in infectious disease, genetic disease, immunology, oncology, and environmental medicine. New to the second edition is updated information on PCR and PCR diagnostic kits, DNA fingerprinting, viral vectors, gene maps, gene regulation, tumor suppressor genes, a dicussion on advances in the treatment of breast cancer and brca1, and a new chapter on flow and image cytometry. This is a must-have information source for all physicians, residents, and medical students."@en
