First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Presently, the need for methods involving separation, identification, and characterization of different kinds of cells is amply realized among immu nologists, hematologists, cell biologists, clinical pathologists, and cancer researchers. Unless cells exhibiting different functions and stages of differ entiation are separated from one another, it will be exceedingly difficult to study some of the molecular mechanisms involved in cell recognition, specialization, interactions, cytotoxicity, and transformation. Clinical diag nosis of diseased states and use of isolated cells for therapeutic (e. g. , immunotherapy) or survival (e. g. , transfusion) purposes are some of the pressing areas where i...
Quantification of the proliferative characteristics of normal and malignant cells has been of interest to oncolo gists and cancer biologists for almost three decades. This interest stems from (a) the fact that cancer is a disease of uncontrolled proliferation, (b) the finding that many of the commonly used anticancer agents are preferentially toxic to cells that are actively proliferating, and (c) the observa tion that significant differences in proliferation characteristics exist between normal and malignant cells. Initially, cell cycle analysis was pursued enthusiastically in the hope of gener ating information useful for the development of rational cancer therapy strategies; for example, ...
This book reviews flow cytometric methods (techniques for measuring and sorting of cells) used in hematology--ranging from those in routine use (such as leukocyte counting and immunophentotyping in diseases like leukemia and AIDS) to those that have potential future use in experimental and clinical hematology. This volume will be of interest to a wide audience, including cell biologists, hematologists, cancer researchers, and HIV/AIDS researchers.
This book is the updated English version of the 2006 German bestseller Zellulare Diagnostik, a comprehensive presentation of flow cytometry and its applications. While some techniques of immunophenotyping by flow cytometry already are routine procedures in the laboratory, new methods for the functional characterization of cells, the analysis of rare cells, and the diagnosis of complex materials have only begun to win wide recognition. New approaches such as slide-based cytometry will lead to an increase in the use of cytometric techniques. Multiparameter approaches will further improve analysis. The book provides a comprehensive and detailed compilation of all aspects of flow cytometry in research and the clinic. For newcomers it offers a thorough introduction, for advanced users, specific protocols and interpretation assistance.
Advances in Cell Culture, Volume 3 is a compilation of articles in the field of cell culture. The chapters in the book are prepared by recognized authorities in their specialized fields. The text deals with all the aspects of cell culture, which includes the growth of individual cells or cell populations, the growth of small fragments of explanted tissue, the growth of organs, and the growth of obligate parasites in cell culture systems. This volume provides reviews of important aspects of in vitro cultivation and presents the increasing understanding of the wide ramifications of in vitro techniques. The book also focuses on specific topics in cell culture such as protoplasts and plant virus...
An examination of postwar medicine based on the notion of the biomedical platform--the theoretical and clinical meeting ground between the normal and the pathological.
Honderd jaar geleden gold tuberculose nog als volksziekte nummer één, tegenwoordig komt de ziekte in Nederland nauwelijks meer voor. Omgekeerd sprak niemand in 1900 over hypertensie of een hartinfarct. Ziekten komen en gaan. Net als de reactie op die aandoeningen. Zo is weerstand tegen vaccinatie, zoals we die tegenwoordig steeds vaker zien, geen nieuw verschijnsel; al sinds de late achttiende eeuw maken orthodoxe christenen hiertegen bezwaar. Het boek Medische geschiedenis geeft een overzicht van de geschiedenis van wetenschappelijke en maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen van de geneeskunde en de doorwerking daarvan in de moderne gezondheidszorg. Hoe is in de loop van de tijd gereageerd op zi...
