Caron:
Lectins and Pathology; 2000, 200 pages, $130.
Summarizes the present understanding of the various implications of lectins in
pathology, including the use of lectins and lectin-binding molecules as tools,
the involvement of endogenous (animal or human) lectins in inflammation, cancer
invasion and metastasis, as well as the importance of lectins in bacteriology
and parasitology.
Chaponnier:
Tissue Repair, Contraction and the Myofibroblast
By Christine Chaponnier, Alexis Desmoulière and Giulio Gabbiani
2006 (1st ed), 154 pages, 60 illus, $139 list
Summarizes the most recent findings concerning the myofibroblast, a cell involved in the evolution and contraction of granulation tissue and of fibrotic changes. This recent work shows that the myofibroblast is responsible for the development of pathological situations such as hypertrophic scars, pulmonary and renal fibrosis and bronchial asthma.

Bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cells, cord blood banking, embryonic and cardiac stem cells are also discussed. Articles on fertility, xenograft tissue and cells, government regulation, as well as complications are also included. more
Helmreich: The Biochemistry of Cell Signalling; 2001, 328 pages, $70. Describes the fundamental aspects of cellular regulation, with a focus on basic features of signaling from the membrane to the nucleus. The four parts consider the machinery of signal transduction, the implementation of the signaling cascades, the global cellular regulatory programs, and the loss of regulatory control. Also the common functional and structural properties of regulatory proteins and the causes of cancer.
Holci: Apoptosis in Health and Disease : Clinical and Therapeutic Aspects; February 2005, 260 pages, $90. This book surveys the underlying molecular mechanisms of apoptosis, investigates its role in degenerative and other diseases, and evaluates potential therapies that will permit appropriate activation or inhibition of apoptosis in disease and injury states. more
Jacobson: Apoptosis; 2002, 321 pages, $65. Examines the molecular pathways regulating apoptosis, progressing from the nematode worm through Drosophila to the more complex pathways of mammalian cells. Differences in the cell death pathway within specific tissues are addressed, as are the different genes that may act to regulate progressive steps
Kohen: Atlas of Cell Organelles Fluorescence; 2003, 208 pages, 150 illus., $170. Describes organelle structures, interactions, and organization into complexes. It provides a collection of illustrations that show living cells under physiopathological conditions and in the context of treatment with carcinogens, xenobiotics, and chemotherapeutic drugs as well as photosensitizers. more
Lockshin:
When Cells Die II : A Comprehensive Evaluation of Apoptosis and Programmed Cell
Death; 2003 (2nd
edition), 568 pages, $100. Offers the most thorough,
cutting-edge coverage of this field since publication of the acclaimed first
edition. Features relevant discussion of the impact of genomics and proteomics,
gene therapy and pharmacogenetics, the role of mitochondria,
caspase-independent and non-apoptotic cell death and evolution of mechanisms.
Majno: Cells, Tissues, and Disease: Principles of General Pathology; August 2004, 1005 pages, $191. Extensive text/reference on general pathology, for pathologists, emphasizing principles rather than facts. review #1, #2
Mason: Leucocyte Typing VII; 2002, 1504 pages, $620. Consists of the proceedings of the 7th HLDA Workshop, held in June 2000. Topics include adhesion structures, apoptosis and cell fate, B cells, carbohydrate and lectin, clinical aspects of leucocyte molecules, cytokine/chemokine receptors, dendritic cells, endothelial cells, myeloid cells, new technologies, natural killer cells, platelets and red cells. review #1
Paramio:
Intermediate Filaments
By Jesus Paramio
2006 (1st ed), 160 pages, 53 illus, $139 list
Focuses on desmin and other intermediate filaments in disease and health. This new volume will serve as a resource for graduate students and researchers in the field.
Ridley: Cell Motility: From Molecules to Organisms; March 2004, 364 pages, $195. Features landmark essays that provide an up to date and fascinating account of current research and concepts in cell motility. These cover the roles of molecular motors that drive movement and their interactions with the cytoskeleton as well as membrane dynamics that allow cells to change shape and to move.
By Immo E Scheffler
1999 (1st ed), 384 pages, $140 list
Mitochondria is the first modern, truly comprehensive authored book which tackles the biochemistry, genetics, and pathology of mitochondria in different organisms.
Schliwa: Molecular Motors; 2003, 604 pages, $245. The latest knowledge on molecular motors is vital for the understanding of a wide range of biological and medical topics. Cell motility, organelle movement, virus transport, developmental asymmetry, myopathies, and sensory defects are all related to the function or malfunction of these minute molecular machines.
Smith: The Aquatic Roots of Human Pathology; 2002, 216 pages, $25. To facilitate the goal of encouraging a study of marine biology for clinical applications, my previous book, Treasures from the Sea for Medicine, was written in an easy-to-read fashion. The present book is a natural sequel in providing a more comprehensive text. I hope it will bring the two fields of marine biology and medicine closer to becoming one.
Smith: Treasures from the Sea for Medicine; 2000, 108 pages, $13. Clams and other mollusks have many urinary tracts, and these are almost universally filled with stones. The most common inorganic constituent of their stones is calcium phosphate, also common in human stones. Perhaps mollusks, along with sea squirts, could be useful in studying urinary tract stone formation and prevention. review #1
