Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science in Medicine: The JCI Textbook of Molecular Medicine is a collection of acclaimed articles published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation during the Journal’s tenure at Columbia University. The society that publishes the JCI, the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI), is an honor society of physician scientists, representing those who are at the forefront of translating findings in the laboratory to the advancement of clinical practice. This textbook brings together state-of-the-art reviews written by the world's leading authorities, including many ASCI members. The reviews examine the molecular mechanisms underlying a wide array of diseases and disorders affecting all major organ systems. The fundamentals of the organ or physiological systems in question are present alongside the underlying genetic or physiological abnormalities that result in disease. This text illustrates the translation of basic scientific knowledge into the current practice of clinical medicine. The reviews provide an authoritative and comprehensive overview by building on known scientific concepts and treatment of human disease while exploring where these advances might take medicine over the next decade. The book is a valuable resource for medical students, graduate students, house staff, attending and practicing physicians, and biomedical researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This updated and revised third edition explains the fundamental principles of the human genome, gene regulation and expression, and genetic engineering. Principles are then applied to the diagnosis and treatment of human disease in infectious diseases, inherited genetic diseases, the immune system and blood cells, cancer, and public health. The text presents the basics of molecular biology and its impact on medicine in a user-friendly, concise, conversation format, with new discussions on the human genome project and genetic engineering. Ross'Introduction to Molecular Medicine remains a must-have information source for all physicians, residents, and medical students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past few years have seen tremendous strides in our understanding of cancer, including new hypotheses about its genetic origins and new treatment alternatives using the body’s own immune response. In this eBook, The Science of Cancer, we examine what we know and what we’re finding out about this scourge of humankind. We delve into the molecular basis and complex causes of cancer, the arguments for and against screenings, new and targeted therapies, and minimizing risk. In “How Cancer Arises,” Robert Weinberg presents what has been the central dogma of cancer genetics, which says that a handful of essential mutations in specific genes lead to tumor growth; however, recent discoveries are challenging this theory, as we see in “Untangling the Roots of Cancer” and “Stem Cells: The Real Culprits in Cancer?” Early detection of cancer is important for treatment, but not all screening tests are created equal. In “The Great Prostate Cancer Debate,” Mark Garnick lays out the controversy over the value of the prostate-specific antigen test for prostate cancer and the rationale against screening. With our increasing knowledge of cancer’s causes, exciting targeted therapies are on the rise, including homing in on stem cells, making use of viruses, and manipulating the immune system as we see in “A New Ally against Cancer,” which focuses on treatment with therapeutic vaccines. Does this mean a cure is around the corner? Perhaps not, according to Scientific American Editor Dina Fine Maron in “Can We Truly ‘Cure’ Cancer?” But with remission rates rising for certain types of cancers and with new discoveries opening up further avenues of research, there is reason for optimism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred years ago, most of the medical treatments and technologies that we take for granted hadn't even been imagined or were found in the pages of science fiction novels rather than medical journals. Today, on the other hand, medical research often sounds like science fiction. This eBook, Tomorrow's Medicine, looks at some of the more fascinating areas where technology that could transform health is being developed, including cybernetics, regenerative medicine, nanotechnology and genetically tailored treatments. Although many of these advances may not be ready to treat humans for many years, some of them may someday profoundly change—and extend—our lives. In "Bionic Connections," for example, D. Kacy Cullen and Douglas Smith discuss synthetic limbs that function as well (or better) than our own. Echoes of the 1966 film Fantastic Voyage abound in "Nanomedicine Targets Cancer" by James Heath, Mark Davis and Leroy Hood, who examine how miniaturized tools can both measure the molecular interactions of disease and deliver targeted therapies. Several articles discuss different approaches for regeneration, including "Grow Your Own Eye," in which author Yoshiki Sasai illustrates how his lab successfully grew a retina from stem cells to "A Sweet Solution for Replacing Organs," in which Katherine Harmon describes how a speaker at a recent TED talk used a 3-D printer to create a kidney. A century from now, will the sight of an amputee be a rarity, with cybernetic limbs controlled by thought and nearly indistinguishable from the biological ones? Perhaps most people will have their genomes read for indications of future disease and take steps to prevent it – or even to cure inherited disorders. Will we replace some drugs with tiny machines, fanning out inside the body to repair damage? As exciting as these possibilities are to extend both the length and quality of life, immortality – or at least agelessness – may be forever out of our reach. As Thomas Kirkwood notes in his piece, "Why Can't We Live Forever?" death might be the price we pay for our complex biology. Even so, the doctors of a century past would surely be impressed by what medical science has accomplished in the past hundred years: antibiotics, organ transplants and the elimination of smallpox, to name but a few. The next century should be equally impressive, and with the various types of new technologies on the horizon, many of us have a good chance of seeing it happen.
