Product Description: Book by

This volume is a collection of chapters contributed by leading experts in the emerging field of analytical morphology. Its contents cover a wide range of techniques for morphologic research and diagnosis and it is intended for anyone who wants to keep abreast of the rapid development in this field. Analytical morphology is a contemporary science dealing with the analy- sis of shape, size and color arrangement of cell and tissue components by means of a variety of analytical maneuvers. It differs from conventional mor- phology and histopathology in that it employs methods beyond routine hema- toxylin and eosin or histochemical staining. To a great extent, the advance- ment of analytical morphology is based on new advances in other disciplines, such as immunology, molecular biology, laser technology, microwave tech- nology and computer science. Using these new methods, particular cellular components that would otherwise remain invisible, such as peptides, pro- teins, or nucleotide sequences, are highlighted by visible markers through chemical, physical, immunological or molecular biological reactions. These methods include immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization, in situ poly- merase chain reaction, antigen retrieval, image analysis, and the like. Analytical morphology is the foundation of contemporary medicine. It provides concrete and visible evidence for many conceptual deductions of other life science disciplines.

Product Description: The first attempt to bring together data scattered throughout the literature, where normal and abnormal cell growth is studied. Analyzes in biochemical terms what happens in animals if an organ or limb is damaged or removed. Divided into three parts treating regeneration and compensatory hyperplasia; the signals eliciting growth, proliferation and tissue restructuring; and the responses shown by the cell membrane, its cytoplasm, and nucleus...read more

Product Description: Based on extensive clinical, histological, and experimental studies, this guide serves as an authoritative source of information on the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of cutaneous lymphomas-reflecting the state-of-the-art in the field of cutaneous lymphomas-presented in the context of the brand-new WHO/EORTC-consensus-classification...read more

Product Description: Pathology is an inherently subjective discipline, and therefore is often referred to as both an art and a science. Over the years, laboratory physicians have implemented special tissue stains and molecular techniques to limit subjectivity in the discipline...read more
