Abstract

"Genetics is not gender neutral in its impact. In this book, the author cites a wide range of biological and psychosocial examples that reveal its different impact on men and women, especially with regard to reproduction and caregiving. She examines the extent to which these differences are associated with gender injustice, arguing for positions that reduce inequality between the sexes."--Jacket.

Abstract

As the essays in this volume show, conceptualizing dementia has always been a complex process. With contributions from noted professionals in psychiatry, neurology, molecular biology, sociology, history, ethics, and health policy, Concepts of Alzheimer Disease looks at the ways in which Alzheimer disease has been defined in various historical and cultural contexts.

Abstract

In 1953 werd door Watson en Crick de structuur van het DNA blootgelegd: dit gaf inzicht in de wijze waarop de erfelijke eigenschappen van een organisme worden 'gecodeerd' en bij elke celdeling doorgegeven. Omstreeks 1975 werd het mogelijk om DNA te 'manipuleren'. De stukjes DNA die een welbepaalde eigenschap tot stand brengen, en die men genen noemt, kan men nu isoleren, identificeren en reproduceren (klonen). In verband met de mens leidt dit samen met andere technieken tot de mogelijkheid om de oorsprong van een groot aantal erfelijke ziekten op te sporen. Door onderzoek van enkele cellen kan men de aanwezigheid van een erfelijke aanleg vaststellen zowel bij de volwassene, het kind, de foetus als bij het embryo. Deze kennis kan heel waardevol zijn, maar ze kan ook ongewenste tot zelfs dramatische gevolgen hebben. Dit boek geeft een inzicht in de mogelijkheden van dit genetisch onderzoek. Tegelijk worden ook de voornaamste ethische vragen gesteld die erdoor worden opgeroepen. (Bron: covertekst)

Abstract

Nature Reviews Genetics is an invaluable source of information in genetics and genomics. The journal’s scope covers the whole breadth of these and related fields, bringing readers cutting-edge Reviews on topics that range from molecular genetics to evolution to systems biology. By publishing Reviews, Progress, Comment, Analysis and Perspective articles, among which are Viewpoints from opinion-leaders, Nature Reviews Genetics provides a balanced and unique perspective of this exciting field which goes well beyond the conventional review, and appeals to students and established scientists alike. All articles are written by carefully chosen leaders in their field and subject to rigorous peer-review, resulting in each issue providing balanced, high-quality and authoritative articles. While experts appreciate the insights and thought-provoking syntheses provided by the high-calibre authors, non-specialists are helped by the glossary definitions, additional background information in the boxes and highlighted references.
