Stem cells, the mother of all cells in multicellular organisms, have attracted scientific attention for their potential applications in toxicology and medicine. This book brings together the ideas an
Toxicologists and other medical and physical scientists and engineers review recent research into toxic effects of nanoparticles, the use of nanotechnology in medicine, and the use of stem cells in to
During the past decade it has become evident that microRNAs regulate gene expressions and control many developmental and cellular processes in eukaryotic organisms. Recent studies suggest that microRN
Epigenetics is the study of both heritable and non-heritable changes in the regulation of gene activity and expression that occur without an alteration in the DNA sequence. This dynamic and rapidly de
"Frontiers in Toxicology" is the essential tool for toxicologists and pharmacologists working in academia, industry and regulatory bodies looking to stay at the forefront of three of the most importan
Nanomaterials - substances smaller than 100 nanometers in size - have been added in recent years to an increasing numbers of consumer products used in day-to-day life; in food packaging, medical devic
Toxicogenomics is the integration of genomics to toxicology. This technology is a powerful tool for collecting information from a large number of biological samples simultaneously and thus it is very
This book addresses all the current, up-to-date developments in this scientific discipline. Liver is the chief metabolizing site in the body, and thus, it is a major target organ for drug and chemical
