Abstract

Pharmacogenetics, the use of genetic testing to prescribe and develop drugs, has been hailed as a revolutionary development for the pharmaceutical industry and modern medicine. Supporters of 'personalised medicine' claim the result will be safer, cheaper, more effective drugs, and their arguments are beginning to influence policy debates. Based on interviews with clinicians, researchers, regulators and company representatives, this book explores the impact of pharmacogenetics on clinical practice, following two cases of personalised medicine as they make their way from the laboratory to the clinic. It highlights the significant differences between the views of supporters of pharmacogenetics in industry and those who use the technology at the clinical 'coal face'. Theoretically, this work builds on the developing area of the sociology of socio-technical expectations, highlighting the way in which promoters of new technologies build expectations around it, through citation and the creation of technological visions.

Abstract

DNA Repair and Replication contains an up-to-date review of general principles of DNA replication and an overview of the multiple pathways involved in DNA repair. Specific DNA repair pathways, including base-excision repair, light-dependent direct reversal of UV-damage, nucleotide-excision repair, transcription-coupled repair, double-strand break repair, and mismatch repair, are each discussed in separate chapters.Selected Contents:-Base Excision Repair-Eukaryotic DNA Mismatch Repair-Double Strand Break Repair-Functions of DNA Polymerases-Somatic Hypermutation: A M

Abstract

Since publication of the first edition of Volume III in 1996, a number of areas in fungal biochemistry and molecular biology have both expanded and rapidly advanced, especially those areas that incorporate the new resource of genomics. In light of these developments, all the chapters of this new edition have been fully revised and completely updated. Still further, the text now contains eleven new chapters, which cover either new topics or have been written by new contributing authors. The second edition of Volume III includes: Biochemistry and molecular genetics; regulation of gene expression; organelle biogenesis; response factors influencing metabolism; molecular biology of carbohydrates and lignin; molecular aspects of biochemical pathways.

Abstract

The growing tide of novel therapeutics that target molecules within a specific individual's cancer cells-over 300 such agents are currently in phase I or II clinical trials-makes it essential to employ appropriate diagnostic methods and approaches when selecting patients for treatment. In Molecular Diagnosis of Cancer: Methods and Protocols, a panel of leading international experts in molecular diagnostic medicine present a diverse collection of readily reproducible methods, derived from their own research for cancer detection. Highlights include FISH-based methodologies currently used in the diagnosis of solid tumors, the molecular diagnosis of genetic abnormalities by DNA array technologies-including sequence-specific oligonucleotide arrays and CGH arrays-and methodologies directed at the detection of epigenetic events and at quantitative gene expression. The authors apply these novel diagnostic procedures to a broad range of cases taken from cytology, solid tumor pathology, hematology, and rare cell detection, paying special attention to potential future developments and the practical problems of dealing with quality control and accuracy. The protocols presented follow the successful Methods in Molecular Medicine™ series format, each one offering step-by-step laboratory instructions, an introduction outlining the principle behind the technique, lists of equipment and reagents, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and highly practical, Molecular Diagnosis of Cancer: Methods and Protocols offers pathologists providing molecular diagnostic services and researchers seeking molecularly targeted therapeutic approaches a broad array of today's most powerful methods and techniques.
