Synopsis

In its Fifth Edition, this classic book retains its traditional strength of relating molecular physiology to understanding disease pathology and treatment as it explores the current state and future direction of hepatology. Painstakingly revised, this edition includes 60 new chapters. As in previous editions, a section called Horizons summarizes advances of extraordinary nature in areas expected to have a substantial impact on hepatology. The Fifth Edition s Horizons section includes emerging topics such as tissue engineering of the liver, liver-directed gene therapy, decoding the liver cancer genome, and imaging cellular proteins and structure. To preserve essential background information which has not changed while making room for the panoply of major new contributions to understanding of liver disease, 14 chapters from the previous edition are freely available online at gastrohep.com.   To view these chapters visit - http://www.gastrohep.com/theliver/

Quatrième de couverture :

In its Fifth Edition, this classic book retains its traditionalstrength of relating molecular physiology to understanding diseasepathology and treatment as it explores the current state and futuredirection of hepatology.

Under the careful editorial guidance of Dr. Irwin Arias and hisoutstanding Associate Editors, the world s leading hepatologyresearchers provide a comprehensive examination of:

• The Cells: Hepatocyte, Bile Secretion, and Sinusoidal
• Interrelated Cell Functions
• Relation to Other Organs
• Pathobiological Analysis

Painstakingly revised, this edition includes 60 new chapters. Asin previous editions, a section called Horizons summarizes advancesof extraordinary nature in areas expected to have a substantialimpact on hepatology. The Fifth Edition s Horizons sectionincludes emerging topics such as tissue engineering of the liver,liver–directed gene therapy, decoding the liver cancer genome, andimaging cellular proteins and structure.

To preserve essential background information which has notchanged while making room for the panoply of major newcontributions to understanding of liver disease, 14 chapters fromthe previous edition are freely available online at gastrohep.com.Whether you are a hepatology specialist, a transplant surgeon, aresearcher, a basic scientist interested in liver function anddisease, or an educator, this definitive guide to liver structure,function, and disease deserves a prominent place in yourlibrary.
