International Review of Experimental Pathology: Molecular Cell Pathology (International Review of Experimental Pathology)

The articles in this volume describe problems and methods relevant to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of several diseases. The unifying theme is experimental pathology at sub-cellular levels, with emphasis on molecular cell pathology. The text is intended for academic pathologists, cell biologists, immunologists, molecular biologists, academic clinical researchers, and cellular immunologists.

CHARLES JENNETTE, LINDA A. CHARLES, RONALD J. FALK Apoptosis: Mechanisms and Roles in Pathology Pages 223-254 MARK J. ARENDS, ANDREW H. WYLLIE Molecular Events in Measles Virus Infection of the Central Nervous System Pages 255-275 PEGGY T. SWOVELAND Index Pages 277-285 International Review of Experimental Pathology, Volume 32: Molecular Cell Pathology discusses the applications and practical value of in situ hybridization; the interactions between endothelial cells and the cells of the immune system; and the molecular biology of cytokine effects on vascular endothelial cells. The text also describes the interphase nucleolar organizer regions in cancer cells; the disease associations, molecular biology, and pathophysiology of antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies; and the mechanisms and roles of apoptosis in pathology. The molecular events in measles virus infection of the central nervous system are also considered. Pathologists, microbiologists, and immunologists will find the book useful. The articles in this volume describe problems and methods relevant to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of several diseases. They focus on experimental pathology at sub-cellular levels, in particular molecular cell pathology.
