Ebook: Introduction to Molecular Medicine

The fully updated and revised second edition of Introductionto 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.
