Abstract

The successful book of andrology now in a new edition! This book gives a complete, interdisciplinary overview of the central topics of andrology, infertility, hypogonadism, contraception and erectile dysfunction. It contains detailed information on the clinical practice of couple treatment, andrology-relevant gynecology and modern methods of assisted fertilization, psychological factors of infertility, endocrinology and reproductive functions of the aging man as well as on an important sub-area of andrology, the male contribution to contraception. In addition, the relevant scientific foundations (including molecular biology and genetics) are also covered. Completely revised and updated according to the latest scientific research, the new edition represents a reference for andrology, which no doctor who deals with the topic can miss. For andrologists, practitioners and residents, urologists, dermatologists and internists who deal with the area of andrology and male reproductive medicine.

Abstract

This book presents chromosome-wise clinical cases following an evidence-based protocol, in addition to providing the scientific background on the mechanisms of human ring chromosome (RC) formation. Presence of RCs in a genome can lead to several rare genetic diseases. This book, edited by the leading experts Prof. Peining Li and Prof. Thomas Liehr, is the first comprehensive book on this topic. Over the past 60 years, banding cytogenetics, fluorescence in situ hybridization, chromosome microarray analysis, and whole genome sequencing have been used to diagnose cases with a RC. Ring syndrome of sever growth retardation and variable intellectual disability has been considered a common clinical feature for all RCs. Clinical heterogeneity of chromosome-specific deletion and duplication syndromes, gene-related organ and tissue defects, cancer predisposition to different types of tumors, and reproduction failure has been reported in the literature. However, the cases of RCs reported in the literature account for less than 1% of its real occurrence. Current diagnostic practice lacks laboratory standards for analyzing cellular behavior and genomic imbalances of RCs to evaluate its compound effects on patients. The under-representation of clinical cases and the lack of comprehensive diagnostic analysis make challenging to establish accurate clinico-cytogenomic correlations. Given recent advances in genomic technology and organized efforts from peer experts, standardized cytogenomic diagnosis and evidence-based clinical management could be envisioned for all patients with RCs. Furthermore, supernumerary small ring chromosomes and the patient’s perspective are addressed—the latter by including family stories of RC-carrier relatives. Acquired RCs in various cancers are also discussed, as well as the potential role of RCs in research applications like iPSC cellular modeling and genomic editing. This book is a valuable reference for clinical geneticists, personnel in cytogenetics and molecular genetics laboratories, genetic counselors, and researchers in related fields.

Abstract

This volume contains a comprehensive collection of laboratory protocols used by researchers to analyze varied aspects of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The chapters in this book cover topics such as methods for histological diagnosis of NASH; the purpose of generating an in vivo NASH model; protocols for isolating hepatocytes and Kupffer cells, bone marrow derived macrophages, and adipocytes; techniques to develop human pluripotent stem cells-derived liver organoids; single-cell and RNA-sequencing; and a description of how to extract exosomes and exosomal miRNAs from mesenchymal stem cells. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Thorough and practical, Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for new and experiences investigators studying NASH, and serves as an essential reference on NASH for basic and clinical researchers and students. .

Abstract

Autoimmune disorders are known to affect a substantial number of people worldwide, demonstrating a gender bias and are the second largest cause of chronic illness. Recently, the attention has been focused on lifestyle changes as a major factor in the rise of autoimmune disease frequency. The two sections of this book are focused on the new opportunities for moving research forward, leading to a new approach to prevention and treatment of autoimmune diseases. A better understanding of the mechanisms of gene expression and triggering signaling pathways, which is involved in autoimmune pathogenesis simultaneously with current data for the interaction of microbiota with human immune system, will help to better understand the immune imbalance implicated in autoimmunity.

Abstract

Alterations in the normal DNA methylation processes are known to have major consequences for embryonic development and are associated with congenital defects, autoimmunity, aging and malignant transformation. The main purpose of this book is to provide information about the importance of methylation mechanisms in human health and disease. The book, covers the basic mechanism of DNA and protein methylation, aiming at the advanced undergraduate and graduate biomedical students and researchers working in the epigenetic area. The textbook chapters provide background as well as advanced information in the methylation area. On the other hand, it provide readers with both classical and relevant recent discoveries that have been made in the field, pointing out pathways where questions remain.
