Book SynopsisCombining a reader-friendly textbook and a rich, full-color atlas, Histology: A Text and Atlas: With Correlated Cell and Molecular Biology, 9th Edition, equips medical, dental, health professions, and undergraduate biology and cell biology students with a comprehensive grasp of the clinical and functional correlates of histology and a vivid understanding of the structural and functional details of cells, tissues, and organs.  The 9th Edition of this bestselling resource reflects the latest advances in cellular and molecular biology and relevant imaging techniques, accompanied by large, high-resolution illustrations and full-color photomicrographs that clarify microanatomy in vibrant detail. System chapters align conveniently with curricula units and emphasize a clinical context, making this proven approach ideal for integrated curricula as well as standalone histology courses.    To accommodate reviewers’ suggestions, the ninth edition integrates new information in cell biology with clinical correlates, which readers will see as new clinical information items highlighted in blue text and in clinical boxes (called “Folders”). For example, the last few years of the COVID-19 pandemic has sparked interest about the changes in normal tissue when infected by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. Several chapters contain descriptions of these changes with underlying explanations of cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical features presented by patients. Additional changes include the following: A new discussion on the mononuclear phagocytic system and the cell biology of resident tissue macrophage has been added. The latest research findings in immune cell activation have been incorporated. Updated cellular biology topics include beige adipose tissue, the epithelial–mesenchymal transition, conjunctiva- associated lymphatic tissue, biogenesis and function of peroxisomes, and microsomes as the newest discovered form of cell-to-cell communication. New, more detailed information about the histology of the female and male external genitalia has been included. The skin chapter has been supplemented and updated with many new additions, including of skin color and aging. With the constant improvement in microscopic methods, a new basic discussion on three-dimensional (3D) microscopy methods was incorporated in the methods chapter.

Book SynopsisHistone deacetylase inhibitors (HDIs) are good anti-cancer targets. Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and HDIs play opposite roles in the regulation of gene expression via an epigenetic mechanism. HATs catalyse the acetylation of lysine residues in histone tails, facilitating and sustaining gene transcription. HDIs remove the acetyl moieties from the epsilon-amine of lysine residues of histone tails, leading to a more condensed form of chromatin and preventing gene transcription. This book focuses on the use of HDIs for the treatment of lymphoid malignancies; myeloid malignancies; and breast cancer.

Book SynopsisHistological techniques form the basis of many areas of research, yet they can often be poorly understood. Aimed at postgraduate students and those at an early stage of their career, this title provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction to histological techniques. With detailed images and slides, this book provides a unique overview of the area while providing the reader with a guide to how to use and incorporate histological techniques within their own research. Written by experts working within the field, this book is an essential handbook for anyone wanting to learn more about histological methods and how to apply them successfully.Trade Review"Chapters 5, 6, and 7 constitute the core of the book and the most useful information for the target audience as well as for other professionals who are interested in understanding how tissue preparation occurs in a regular basis." "some helpful hints to toxicologists, particularly in their formative years on how histology works. As such it is a valuable resource." "The section on Introduction to Histopathology covers much ground in a succinct fashion and should be very useful to the audience in mind. It is factual and well organized. The section on the microscope is extensive and well written and should be useful to beginning pathologists as well as toxicologists and would be a good reference section to all interested in this field." "In summary, this book is a valuable resource for training toxicologists, pathologists, and technicians, and it will be a good addition to one’s reference library." -- Richard Ochoa * International Journal of Toxicology, 2015, Vol. 34(2) 211-214 *The opening sentence of the preface identifies the target audience and broad aim of this book – "This little book is for toxicologists who are in the early stages of their careers and want to know something about histological techniques". It is not, and does not pretend to be, a standard textbook on histological techniques, for which the reader should head straight for a definitive tome such as Bancroft’s Theory and Practice of Histological Techniques (now in its 7th edition). It does however offer something that is not easily distilled from the authoritative text books – in plain and accessible language the authors give us a lucid explanation of the hows and whys of histological techniques, supported throughout by real life examples and personal insights. The emphasis is very much on what may be considered "traditional" histology – those interested in in-situ hybridisation, laser capture microscopy, gene sequencing and the like will need to look elsewhere. Note also that electron microscopy, slide scanning and quantification are also out of scope of this work. A total of 9 chapters, the first one an introduction to the scope and aims of the book, cover 8 discrete areas – each chapter serving as a worthy introduction to its chosen subject matter. The chapter covering histopathology explains the key physiological and disease process as seen through the light microscope, with some complex concepts eloquently explained in easily digestible layman’s language. The chapter on light microscopes tells you everything you are ever likely to need to know on the subject matter, there is a useful and simple guide to how to actually use the microscope optimally – something many experienced microscopists tend to have forgotten – though, running to nearly 50 pages, there is perhaps too much detail in this section. Next up is "how to examine histological sections". For the most part this is a real gem, full of handy tips garnered over years of experience; I have not seen this theme covered as well as this elsewhere. A couple of chapters take us through the technical aspects of sample preparation from fixation of the specimen through to the unstained section on the slide; the authors’ vast experience permeates throughout. The text is peppered with little tips garnered from first-hand experience and there are explanations of the theories behind the methods used. The closing 3 chapters on staining techniques are perhaps the weakest part of the work – the theory of staining is explained informatively and, whilst enlightening within the scope covered, only a relatively small selection of "standard staining techniques" are included – for instance there are no techniques discussed for amyloid, mineralisation, organisms or CNS, though the extensive bibliography does point you in the right direction for these. The section on histochemistry (including immunohistochemistry) is a little too concise; there is no room for important topics such as antibody validation and automated staining platforms. The text covering the ubiquitous H&E stain is a real treasure though– even the most seasoned microscopist should learn something new by reading this. The refreshing writing style makes each section a nice easy read; the authors clearly know their subject matter. There is even a subtle humour to the writing at times – I particularly enjoyed the "karyorrhectic cell masquerading as a snowman" (check out the picture on page 35) and recognising the novice stainer by "the rainbow appearance of their hands". There are occasional digressions into areas of purely historical interest – in this day and age do we still need to know about the Cambridge rocking microtome and do any pathologists really still do hand drawings of what they observe down the microscope? But on the whole the book is highly instructive and full of insight. So, does the book meet its aims? In general I think it does – for the toxicologist early in their careers, especially those who perform some of their own lab work, this is a highly readable introductory text, though bear in mind that it deals largely with traditional methods. In fact there are a lot of useful nuggets in here for laboratory scientists and trainee pathologists, for whom it would make an excellent companion volume to one of the heavyweight standard texts. -- Barry Reed, GlaxoSmithKline RandD * BTS News vol 1:3 *Table of ContentsIntroduction; An Introduction to Histopathology; The Light Microscope; How to Examine Histological Sections; Tissue Processing; Embedding Media and Sectioning; Attaching Sections to Slides and Mounting; Standard Staining Techniques; The Theory of Histological Staining
