      Chromatin Signaling and Diseases, Second Edition, a volume in the Translational Epigenetics series, covers the molecular mechanisms that regulate gene expression, which governs embryonic development, growth, and human pathologies associated with aging, such as cancer. Although human genome sequencing continues to improve, molecular mechanisms regulating gene expression remain largely misunderstood. The impact of gene expression defects associated with malfunctioning chromatin signaling are considered in this update. In addition, this new edition has addresses developments in the field, from phase separation of membrane-less organelles and local segregation of factors to chromatinization of naked foreign DNA and cancer evolution as regulated by chromatin signaling.Chromatin signaling proposes that small protein domains recognize chemical modifications on the genome scaffolding histone proteins, facilitating the nucleation of enzymatic complexes at specific loci that then open up or shut down the access to genetic information, thereby regulating gene expression. The addition and removal of chemical modifications on histones, as well as the proteins that specifically recognize these are also considered.

      Plant Regeneration In Vitro: Environmental Cues and Sustainability provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of plant regeneration in vitro, with a particular focus on the environmental cues that influence this process. Authored and edited by leading experts, and addressing multiple methods, applications and prospects of in vitro regeneration, it explores the mechanisms and the role that environmental factors play in determining the success of in-vitro plant regeneration. Plant regeneration in vitro refers to the process of growing new plants from explants (parts of the plant) in a controlled environment. Widely used in agriculture, horticulture, and biotechnology for various purposes, including plant breeding, conservation of endangered species, and production of genetically modified crops, one of the main advantages of plant regeneration in vitro is that it provides a reliable and efficient method for producing large numbers of genetically uniform plants with desirable traits within short span irrespective of seasonal constraints. Plant Regeneration explores the environmental triggers that affect plant regeneration in vitro, such as temperature, light, humidity, nutrient availability and plant growth regulators. It fully describes the current state of the science, the latest in experimental work, and is designed to optimize application of current knowledge as well as to inspire new approaches to use.

      Training in clinical chemistry is acquired via different avenues that include didactic lectures on pathophysiology of disease, methodologies and practical aspects of testing, and through attendance of operations meetings, sign-out sessions, seminars and tutorials. There is little instruction on how to apply the vast amount of knowledge gained in the process to practice. In other branches of medicine, cases are regularly presented with clinical information and therapeutic interventions which form the basis of training. Diagnostic Reasoning: Laboratory-Based Case Studies in Clinical Chemistry fills this gap for clinical chemistry. The concise and practical approach of the book, including real-life scenarios, is an excellent resource for pathology trainees, clinical laboratory science students, clinical chemistry fellows, clinical laboratory professionals, and clinicians. These cases help professionals remain competent in the field and be successful in their board exams. The cases are stated as they present, often with no or few clinical details accompanying the sample request with only barcoded samples arriving into the laboratory. In a busy laboratory, thousands of these cases are received daily and it is impossible to review the clinical information associated with the specimens.
