Bio-Implant Interface: Improving Biomaterials and Tissue Reactions |
|
|
From Book News, Inc.
Twenty-four contributions share current knowledge about the compatibility of bioimplant surfaces with living tissue and the impact surface texture can have on the success rate of surgical implants. Several of the papers explore the role of implant surface properties on the clinical outcome of oral implant therapy, bone response to macro design and micro texturing, and cell and tissues reactions to biomaterials. Other topics include inducing bone growth using e... >> |

Biotechnology: Proteins to Pcr : A Course in Strategies and Lab Techniques |
|
|
From Book News, Inc.
A textbook for an undergraduate or professional training course for students with a solid background in general biology and chemistry, and hopefully some organic chemistry; does not assume any microbiology and biochemistry. Explains the laboratory techniques and skills for characterizing and purifying a protein and for cloning the associated gene, and the strategies and rationale for the research process itself. The examples use readily available materials and o... >> |

Gene Silencing by RNA Interference: Technology and Application |
|
|
From Book News, Inc.
Comprising 23 chapters by molecular biologists who have either invented new methods or have extensive experience in applying them, this state-of-the-art review-cum-laboratory manual focuses on progress made in DNA sequencing with the recently developed tool of RNA interference (RNAi). Sohail (biochemistry, U. of Oxford) explains that such gene silencing methods, in which specific genes are "knocked out" in order to study which functions are lost, help elucidate... >> |
