The Liver
Biology and Pathobiology
FIFTH EDITION
Irwin M. Arias, Harvey J. Alter, James L. Boyer, David E. Cohen, Nelson Fausto, David A. Shafritz, Allen W. Wollkof
|
This brand new edition of The Liver: Biology and Pathobiology will once again serve as the premier textbook of basic science hepatology.
By exploring the advances in genetics, immunology, chemistry, virology, biophysics, and structural, molecular and cellular biology, this textbook will help improve understanding of liver function and the nature of liver disease.
With emphasis placed on the impact of genomics, proteomics, combinatorial chemistry, micro-imaging, stem cell biology, and other advances in basic biology on hepatology, the book will be a useful tool for all those interested in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of liver disease.
Clearly structured, each chapter is organized around six major headings: Introduction (organizational principles of the liver and embryology), The Cells, Interrelated cell functions, Relation to other organs, Pathobiologic analysis, Horizons.
With an outstanding editorial team who have brought together an internationally recognized collection of contributors, The Liver: Biology and Pathobiology will continue the tradition of previous editions in effectively bridging the many advances in basic science with mechanisms of liver function and disease.
As such, it will be essential reading for basic and clinical scientists, PhD students and fellows, and academic physicians interested in the study of the liver.
