Trauma and exposure to toxic and infectious agents invariably lead to organ damage followed by significant morbidity and mortality. Although these conditions have typically been associated with the battlefield, today they are more prevalent in urban areas.  Meer

This volume provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of the field of cell therapy.   Meer

This volume addresses the various techniques and novel applications of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) and its role as a discovery tool in the field of proteomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics.  Meer

This volume covers a wide range of various fields of research, with the common thread being Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) related methods and applications, as well as analysis and interpretation of the data obtained.  Meer

This volume details methods and protocols on b-sheet assemblies and collagen. Divided into three parts chapters focus on expanding use of solid-state NMR as a powerful method to enhance structural understanding of self-assembled peptide materials, methods for the design, synthesis, and application of self-assembled peptide materials, and structural and mechanistic analyses of pathological amyloid systems that provide novel ways to assess function of the various possible aggregates as well to determine how the structure of these materials correlates to function/dysfunction in the biological context.  Meer

Covering a wealth of methods as well as specific applications in fields such as microbiology and clinical chemistry, this comprehensive volume has the imprimatur of the ‘Methods in Molecular Biology’ series and includes reproducible, cutting-edge protocols.  Meer

Metabolomics is a fast growing field in systems biology and offers a powerful and promising approach for a large range of applications. Metabolomics focuses on deriving the concentrations and fluxes of low molecular weight metabolites in bio-fluids, cells or tissue, plants, foods and related samples and this information provides enormous detail on biological systems and their current status.  Meer

There has been a recent surge in empirical research on psychoanalytic theories and treatments. This volume demonstrates the relevance of and scientific support for psychodynamic treatment across a wide range of diagnostic categories and treatment strategies.  Meer

David A. Gelber, MD, and Douglas R. Jeffery, MD, have assembled a much-needed collection of authoritative review articles discussing the pathophysiology of chronic neurologic spasticity and detailing its often complex medical and surgical management.  Meer

Sudden in-custody restraint deaths have emerged as a critical and imp- tant problem for police, correctional, and medical care workers. The scope and magnitude of the problem clearly reveals that the subject matter is worthy of further consideration.  Meer

This exciting and cutting-edge book examines the fundamental virological methods for avian influenza virus research and diagnostics. It covers some of the newest molecular procedures currently used for basic and applied research.  Meer
