Wiley Encyclopedia Of Molecular Medicine Volume 3

The field of molecular biology is revolutionizing human medicine and the applications of molecular biology to medicine are expanding. Encyclopedia of Molecular Medicine brings together those aspects of medicine that have significance at the molecular level, plus advances in molecular biology that are relevant to medicine. With over 1,700 separate primary entries, this comprehensive encyclopedia sets the standard for reference works in this rapidly expanding field. Edited by one of the most renowned names in the field of protein science, the coverage in Encyclopedia of Molecular Medicine is multilayered, ranging from the organ to the cell to the molecular and includes extensive cross-referencing. Geneticists, biochemists, molecular biologists, medical researchers, and doctors with either an academic or industrial background will find the Encyclopedia of Molecular Medicine an essential resource.

The most comprehensive, detailed, one-stop reference to molecular biology and molecular medicine today, this six-volume encyclopedia comprises nearly 300 self-contained and clearly written articles on genetic screening, gene therapy, structural biology, and the technology and findings of the Human Genome Project.

This sixteen volume encyclopedia is the most comprehensive and detailed treatment of molecular biology, cell biology and molecular medicine available today! It was designed in collaboration with a founding board of 10 Nobel laureates. The Encyclopedia provides a single-source library of the molecular basis of life, with a focus on molecular medicine. The latest advances of the post-genomic era, e.g. in the fields of functional genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics are discussed in detail. All articles are designed as self-contained treatments. Each of the approximately 425 articles begins with an outline and a key word section with definitions. Articles are written in a review-like style complemented with an extensive bipartite bibliography of reviews and books as well as primary papers. A glossary of basic terms completes each volume and defines the most commonly used terms in molecular biology. Together with the introductory illustrations found in each volume, the articles enable readers to understand articles without referring to a dictionary, textbook, or other reference. Praise for the first edition of the preceding "Encyclopedia of Molecular Biology and Molecular Medicine": "...an authoritative reference source of the highest quality. ... It is extremely well written and well illustrated..." - American Reference Books Annual (Library & Information Science Annual) "This series can be recommended without hesitation to a broad readership including students and qualified researchers... . ...articles...set-up facilitates easy reading and rapid understanding. ...overwhelming amount of valuable data." - Molecular Biology Reports ".. highly valuable and recommendable both for libraries and for laboratory use." - FEBS Letters "This series is a classic..." - Molecular Medicine Today/Trends in Molecular Medicine
