microRNAs in Toxicology and Medicine is a comprehensiveand authoritative compilation of up-to-date developments in thisemerging research area, presented by internationally recognizedinvestigators. It focuses on the role of microRNA in biology andmedicine with a special emphasis on toxicology.
Divided into six parts, topics covered include:
* microRNA and toxicology - including environmentaltoxicants and perturbation of miRNA signaling; microRNA, andDisease States featuring microRNAs in drug-induced liver toxicity,microRNAs and Inflammation the regulatory role of microRNA inmutagenesis, microRNAs and cancer, and the role of microRNAs intumor progression and therapy, as well as current understanding ofmicroRNAs as therapeutic targets in cancer
* microRNAs and disease states
* microRNAs and stem cells
* microRNAs and genomics
* microRNAs and epigenomics
* microRNAs and biomarkers - including body fluid microRNAsas toxicological biomarkers, cell-free microRNAs as biomarkers inhuman diseases, and circulating microRNAs as biomarkers ofdrug-induced pancreatitis
microRNAs in Toxicology and Medicine is an essentialinsight into the current trends and future directions of researchin this rapidly expanding field for investigators, toxicologists,risk assessors, and regulators in academia, medical settings,industry, and government.
