Download or read book Racial Prescriptions written by Jonathan Xavier Inda and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the contemporary United States, matters of life and health have become key political concerns. Important to this politics of life is the desire to overcome racial inequalities in health; from heart disease to diabetes, the populations most afflicted by a range of illnesses are racialized minorities. The solutions generally proposed to the problem of racial health disparities have been social and environmental in nature, but in the wake of the mapping of the human genome, genetic thinking has come to have considerable influence on how such inequalities are problematized. Racial Prescriptions explores the politics of dealing with health inequities through targeting pharmaceuticals at specific racial groups based on the idea that they are genetically different. Drawing on the introduction of BiDil to treat heart failure among African Americans, this book contends that while racialized pharmaceuticals are ostensibly about fostering life, they also raise thorny questions concerning the biologization of race, the reproduction of inequality, and the economic exploitation of the racial body. Engaging the concept of biopower in an examination of race, genetics and pharmaceuticals, Racial Prescriptions will appeal to sociologists, anthropologists and scholars of science and technology studies with interests in medicine, health, bioscience, inequality and racial politics.

Download or read book Clinical Epidemiology of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia written by Juan Manuel Mejia-Arangure and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes different perspectives of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The approach includes aspects of molecular epidemiology, particularly molecular features that influence the genesis and prognosis of the disease. Some aspects of the prognosis of lymphoblastic leukemias are very detailed, highlighting the use of molecular biology in the early identification of complications that may occur in diseased patients. The authors of the present book conform a Mexican group who identifies the causes of leukemia, and they summarize their experience in research, results and proposals for future studies. A causal model is included in which the authors hypothesized the origin of acute lymphoblastic leukemias, particularly in children. This hypothesis can be useful to better understand other cancers during childhood. This book will help the reader to identify different molecular aspects involved in leukemia, and its relation to the development and evolution of the disease.

Download or read book The IV Latin American Metabolic Profiling Society LAMPS symposium 2022 written by Guillermo Moyna and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Research Topic aims to gather the proceedings of the “IV Latin American Metabolic Profiling Society (LAMPS) Symposium”. Since the first Symposium in 2014 in Lima, Perú, the Latin American Metabolic Profiling Society (LAMPS) has periodically gathered researchers from the region to share their work. Though the discipline is still underdeveloped in Latin America, past meetings held in Rosario, Argentina, in 2016, and in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2018, have showcased presentations in all areas of metabolomics. After a hiatus of two years imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the fourth edition of the LAMPS Symposium will be held in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, this coming November (2nd - 4th). As in past editions, the high profile program of the Symposium will provide NMR spectroscopists and mass spectrometrists with a unique opportunity to present their latest results and give younger researchers a space to connect with other colleagues. By sharing new findings and discussing progress in metabolic profiling, this meeting will contribute to a deeper understanding of metabolomics research. To accompany the IV LAMPS Symposium, this Research Topic will not only be an opportunity for those presenting their research at the event to divulge full versions of their work, but will also receive contributions from other researchers in the field as well. While research in Latin America will be the primary focus, submissions that display the impact of metabolomics in all areas of health, nutrition, and agriculture will also be open to Latin American researchers elsewhere around the globe.

Download or read book Leukemia Stem Cells in Hematologic Malignancies written by Haojian Zhang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to the biology of leukemia stem cells (LSCs) and emphasizes the necessity and importance of targeting LSCs in the treatment of hematopoietic malignancies. It addresses the role of leukemia stem cells in different leukemia diseases and molecular signatures, as well as the metabolic and epigenetic regulation of leukemia stem cell function. With regard to solid tumors, a significant number of blood cancers are believed to be derived from leukemia stem cells (LSCs), which are responsible for disease progression, relapse and drug resistance. Consequently, new therapeutic strategies need to be developed by focusing on the complete eradication of LSCs. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable asset for graduate students and scientists in the fields of cell biology and cancer research etc.
Download or read book Cancer Stem Cells Emerging Concepts and Future Perspectives in Translational Oncology written by Sadegh Babashah and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-12 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of cancer stem cells has great clinical implications. This is due to the fact that small subpopulations of these cells have been identified in a variety of neoplastic conditions ranging from solid tumors to liquid malignancies. Although there are some huge gaps in our current understanding of the role played by cancer stem cells in cancer biology, a growing body of evidence provides strong support for the principal functions of these cells in tumorigenesis. This has represented the potential of cancer stem cells in the development of novel and innovative tools for the treatment of metastatic tumors. This book aims to offer a broad framework for obtaining insight into the state-of-the-art knowledge on cancer stem cell biology and highlight the therapeutic implications of these cells in the future of clinical oncology.

Download or read book Cancer a complex disease written by Octavio Miramontes and published by CopIt ArXives. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of complex systems and their related phenomena has become a major research venue in the recent years and it is commonly regarded as an important part of the scientific revolution developing through the 21st century. The science of complexity is concerned with the laws of operation and evolution of systems formed by many locally interacting elements that produce collective order at spatiotemporal scales larger than that of the single constitutive elements. This new thinking, that explores formally the emergence of spontaneous higher order and feedback hierarchies, has been particularly successful in the biological sciences. One particular life-threatening disease in humans, overwhelmingly common in the modern world is cancer. It is regarded as a collection of phenomena involving anomalous cell growth caused by an underlying genetic instability with the potential to spread to other parts of the human body. In the present book, a group of well recognised specialists discuss new ideas about the disease. These authors coming from solid backgrounds in physics, mathematics, medicine, molecular and cell biology, genetics and anthropology have dedicated their time to write an authoritative free-available text published under the open access philosophy that hopefully would be in the front-line struggle against cancer, a complex disease.
Download or read book Telomeres and Telomerase in Cancer written by Keiko Hiyama and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-03-18 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telomerase, an enzyme that maintains telomeres and endows eukaryotic cells with immortality, was first discovered in tetrahymena in 1985. In 1990s, it was proven that this enzyme also plays a key role in the infinite proliferation of human cancer cells. Now telomere and telomerase are widely accepted as important factors involved in cancer biology, and as promising diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets. Recently, role of telomerase in “cancer stem cells” has become another attractive story. Until now, there are several good books on telomere and telomerase focusing on biology in ciliates, yeasts, and mouse or basic sciences in human, providing basic scientists or students with updated knowledge.
