Advances in Biomembranes and Lipid Self-Assembly, Volume 29, formerly titled Advances in Planar Lipid Bilayers and Liposomes, provides a global platform for the study of cell membranes, lipid model membranes, and lipid self-assemblies, from the micro- to the nanoscale. As planar lipid bilayers are widely studied due to their ubiquity in nature, this book presents research on their application in the formulation of biomimetic model membranes, and in the design of artificial dispersion of liposomes. Moreover, the book discusses how lipids self-assemble into a wide range of other structures, including micelles and the liquid crystalline hexagonal and cubic phases. Chapters in this volume present both original research and comprehensive reviews written by world leading experts and young researchers.

Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: From Etiology to Clinical Practice discusses NPC from basic science, to clinical management through the perspective of members of the Centre for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Research in Hong Kong. It encompasses not only the most detailed information about multiple aspects of NPC, but also the modern day research model of scientist-clinician collaboration, focusing on bench-to-bedside approach. Basic science is covered, discussing genetics and genomics in NPC and its epidemiology and the role of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). Translational research is also covered, presenting topics such as animal models, plasma EBV DNA, molecular imaging and immunotherapy, amongst other topics. This book is a valuable source for cancer researchers, oncologists, medical oncologists and several members of the biomedical field who are interested in learning more about NPC management from both clinical and research perspectives.

Data Processing Handbook for Complex Biological Data provides relevant and to the point content for those who need to understand the different types of biological data and the techniques to process and interpret them. The book includes feedback the editor received from students studying at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and from her peers. In order to succeed in data processing for biological data sources, it is necessary to master the type of data and general methods and tools for modern data processing. For instance, many labs follow the path of interdisciplinary studies and get their data validated by several methods. Researchers at those labs may not perform all the techniques themselves, but either in collaboration or through outsourcing, they make use of a range of them, because, in the absence of cross validation using different techniques, the chances for acceptance of an article for publication in high profile journals is weakened.

Obra que acompaña al texto del mismo autor, "Brenner y Stevens, Farmacología básica 5ª ed" y que se presenta como una perfecta herramienta de aprendizaje en el campo de la farmacología en el que el proceso de memorización es muy importante, dado la gran cantidad de nombres, estructuras y propiedades a recordar. Gracias a su presentación y formato lo convierten en el recurso ideal para el estudiante que puede consultarlo en cualquier momento, incluso aprovechando los desplazamientos, favoreciendo su uso tanto como herramienta de estudio como de repaso. Se presentan un total de 500 Flashcards a todo color en una caja contenedora con el mismo diseño que el libro de referencia. Se organizan por categoría farmacológica agrupándose en XV secciones en función del sistema de órganos sobre el que actúan y su uso terapéutico. Cada sección tiene un color diferente y se inicia con un listado por orden alfabético de los fármacos que se tratan en ella, acompañado de una breve información general sobre su mecanismo de actuación que, por lo general, incluye una tabla o figura explicativa. Hay que destacar que, al igual que se ha hecho en el libro de referencia, se han eliminado todos los nombres comerciales de medicamentos y siempre que se haga referencia a fármacos se considera el correspondiente principio  Cada una de las flashcards contiene información sobre un sólo fármaco. En la parte frontal se recoge el nombre del principio activo, la referencia cruzada al libro y en los casos en que es conveniente, un pequeño esquema de su acción farmacológica. En el dorso aparece de forma sistemática la siguiente información: clase terapéutica, clase farmacológica, mecanismo de acción, uso clínico, consideraciones especiales, efectos adversos e interacciones. Al final de todo se cita si hay algún principio activo similar y si éste tiene su propia carta se marca en letra negrita.  Incluye acceso a SC.com en el que pueden encontrarse los siguientes recursos: 30 flashcard adicionales y 10 cuadros con las características comparativas de diferentes principios activos que actúen sobre el mismo sistema de órganos. Todo el contenido se encuentra en inglés.

Neuroscience of Nicotine: Mechanisms and Treatment presents the fundamental information necessary for a thorough understanding of the neurobiological underpinnings of nicotine addiction and its effects on the brain. Offering thorough coverage of all aspects of nicotine research, treatment, policy and prevention, and containing contributions from internationally recognized experts, the book provides students, early-career researchers, and investigators at all levels with a fundamental introduction to all aspects of nicotine misuse. With an estimated one billion individuals worldwide classified as tobacco users—and tobacco use often being synonymous with nicotine addiction—nicotine is one of the world’s most common addictive substances, and a frequent comorbidity of misuse of other common addictive substances. Nicotine alters a variety of neurological processes, from molecular biology, to cognition, and quitting is exceedingly difficult because of the number of withdrawal symptoms that accompany the process.
