English

Lipid Analysis in Biology, Health, and Disease bridges the gap between discovery science and clinical lipidology, empowering both scientific and medical communities to apply lipid analysis and understanding in new research, as well as diagnosis and management of diseases. Here, international experts in the field begin with the basic biology of the lipids, followed by methods and technology for study, and lipids in lab medicine and epidemiology. This book uniquely combines biology and analysis to drive healthcare advances, with a diverse range of technologies and analytic methods considered.Basic lipid biology chapters discuss membrane expansion, lysosomal positioning, mitochondrial biogenesis, lipid-protein interactions, molecular dynamics, cholesterol transport, immune activation and inflammation, lipid droplets, and gender differences in lipid metabolism. Each disease chapter incorporates basic lipid epidemiology, risk factors, and genetic associations.

Nueva ed. de esta obra de bioquímica que constituye un texto único y singular en la materia dentro de nuestro portfolio y que siempre ha mantenido el mismo abordaje: una obra visual, concisa, práctica y con un enfoque clínico. Es de destacar también el especial énfasis que se hace en la importancia de los test de laboratorio, su correcto diseño e interpretación de resultados para un correcto diagnóstico. Se mantiene su organización en 4 grandes secciones: Capítulos introductorios: Repaso de métodos y técnicas de laboratorio,Bioquímica: Conceptos “core”, cubre todo el “bulk” de las pruebas bioquímicas más rutinarias y su relevancia clínica, Endocrinología: Proporciona una cobertura exhaustiva de los test bioquímicos realizados en el caso de patologías relativas a tiroides, hipófisis, glándulas adrenales, así como a las que afectan a las gónadas, siempre enfatizando su relevancia en la clínica e Investigaciones específicas: aquí se incluyen otros aspectos de pruebas y aspectos metabólicos. Cada uno de los capítulos tiene un diseño a doble página, con gran cantidad de elementos visuales, cuadros clínicos, casos, esquemas a todo color que lo convierten en “unidades didácticas” que incluso pueden estudiarse de forma individual. Las principales novedades de esta edición son la incorporación de 3 nuevos capítulos: Trastornos del páncreas, Métodos de inmunoensayo (anticuerpos.) y Métodos para la separación e identificación de moléculas. Así mismo, se han actualizado y renovado gran parte de las ilustraciones y esquemas y el número de casos clínicos que acompañan a algunos capítulos se han visto reforzados La nueva edición incluye acceso a contenido online en inglés a través de e-book+

Biochemistry of Collagens, Laminins, and Elastin: Structure, Function and Biomarkers, Third Edition provides current data on key structural proteins (collagens, laminins, and elastin), reviews on how these molecules affect pathologies, and information on how selected modifications of these proteins can result in altered signaling properties of the original extracellular matrix (ECM). Further, it discusses the novel concept that an increasing number of components of the extracellular matrix harbor cryptic signaling functions with ties to endocrine function, and how this knowledge may be used to modulate various pathologies, including fibrotic disease. This new edition has been expanded and revised to incorporate recent research advances. Several new chapters explore a range of chronic diseases in which the ECM and collagens, laminin and elastin are central players in disease modulation, including new chapters on lung, skin and intestinal disease, as well as cancers. The new edition also considers emerging analytical technologies that can detect biomarkers of ECM degradation, with discussion of protein quantification and detecting aging of collagens.

Peptide and Protein Drug Delivery Using Polysaccharides offers an interdisciplinary discussion of polysaccharides applied in peptide and protein drug delivery. Chapters consider basic biology of different polysaccharides of current interest and their production at pilot and large-scale stages by various techniques including, but not limited to, cell and hairy root cultures. Other sections examine factors affecting polysaccharide absorption, metabolism, and excretion in nascent, encapsulated, or conjugated forms, with unique coverage of vaccine absorption, metabolism, and drug delivery. A final section considers analytical methods for detection in tissue fluids and homogenates. Accessible figures, tables, and graphical abstracts are included throughout to support understanding. Specific polysaccharides discussed for therapeutic purposes include cellulose, hyaluronic acid, heparin, carageenan, alginic acid, agar and myrrh, acacia, tragacanth, ghatti gum, chitin, chitosan, starch, glycogen and dextran.

Sulfurtransferases: Essential Enzymes for Life stands as the first comprehensive resource on this increasingly important class of enzymes. Following an introduction to the field from the Editors, each chapter covers a specific sulfurtransferase, including its basic biology and roles in healthy functioning, disease, drug discovery, and other biotechnological applications. The physiological function for each enzyme is considered in depth, along with regulation mechanisms, pharmacological inhibitors, and pathology and conditions related to altered enzymatic activity. Sulfurtransferases discussed include rhodanese, MST, thiosulfate-thiol sulfurtransferase, tRNA uracil 4-sulfurtransferase, thiosulfate-dithiol sulfurtransferases, biotin synthase, cysteine desulfurase, lipoyl synthase, molybdenum cofactor sulfurtransferase, thiazole synthase, molybdopterin synthase sulfurtransferase, molybdopterin synthase, tRNA-uridine 2-sulfurtransferase, tRNA-5-taurinomethyluridine 2-sulfurtransferase, tRNA-5-methyluridine (54) 2-sulfurtransferase, and L-aspartate semialdehyde sulfurtransferase, among others. Here, researchers will discover key knowledge and recent advances to bring forward new studies on this increasingly relevant class of enzymes, while clinicians may apply new findings in medical practice.
