New on Bookshelf: Assay Guidance Manual

Wed, 02 May 2012 12:00:00 EST

Sittampalam GS, Weidner J, Auld D, et al., editors. Assay Guidance Manual [Internet]. Bethesda (MD): Eli Lilly & Company and the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences; 2004-.

From the editors:

The collection of chapters in this eBook is written to provide guidance to investigators who are interested in developing assays useful for the evaluation of collections of molecules to identify probes that modulate the activity of biological targets, pathways, and cellular phenotypes. These probes may be candidates for further optimization and investigation in drug discovery and development.

Originally written as a guide for therapeutic project teams within a major pharmaceutical company, this manual has been adapted to provide guidelines for scientists in academic, non-profit, government and industrial research laboratories to develop potential assay formats compatible with High Throughput Screening (HTS) and Structure Activity Relationship (SAR) measurements of new and known molecular entities.

NEW ON BOOKSHELF: Fat Detection: Taste, Texture, and Post Ingestive Effects

Tue, 29 Mar 2011 14:00:00 EST

A new book has been added to the Frontiers in Neuroscience collection on Bookshelf.

Fat Detection: Taste, Texture, and Post Ingestive Effects

Jean-Pierre Montmayeur and Johannes le Coutre, Editors.

Boca Raton (FL): CRC Press; 2010.

From the editors: “Reflecting 15 years of psychophysical, behavioral, electrophysiological, and molecular studies, this book makes a well-supported case for an oral fat detection system. Using carefully designed behavioral paradigms, it explains how gustatory, textural, and olfactory information contributes to fat detection. The book also provides a detailed account of the brain regions that process the signals elicited by a fat stimulus, including flavor, aroma, and texture.”

NEW ON BOOKSHELF -- Human Herpesviruses: Biology, Therapy, and Immunoprophylaxis

Mon, 06 Dec 2010 17:00:00 EST

Human Herpesviruses: Biology, Therapy, and Immunoprophylaxis Arvin, Ann; Campadelli-Fiume, Gabriella; Mocarski, Edward; Moore, Patrick S.; Roizman, Bernard; Whitley, Richard; Yamanishi, Koichi, editors Cambridge: Cambridge University Press ; 2007 From the editors: This comprehensive account of the human herpesviruses provides an encyclopedic overview of their basic virology and clinical manifestations. This group of viruses includes human simplex type 1 and 2, Epstein–Barr virus, Kaposi’s Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, cytom-egalovirus, HHV6A, 6B, and 7, and varicella-zoster virus. The viral diseases and cancers they cause are significant and often recurrent. Their prevalence in the developed world accounts for a major burden of disease, and as a result there is a great deal of research into the pathophysiology of infection and immunobiology. Another important area covered within this volume concerns antiviral therapy and the development of vaccines. All these aspects are covered in depth, both scientifically and in terms of clinical guidelines for patient care. The text is illustrated generously throughout and is fully referenced to the latest research and developments.

New on the Bookshelf: Health, United States, 2009, With Special Feature on Medical Technology

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 17:00:00 EST

Health, United States, 2009 is the 33rd annual report on the health status of the Nation, prepared by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services for the President and the Congress. In a Chartbook and 150 detailed tables, the report provides an annual picture of the health of the entire United States. Trends are presented for health status and health care utilization, resources, and expenditures. This year’s report includes a special feature on medical technology. As advances in medical technology continue to transform the provision of health care and lengthen and improve quality of life, questions are increasingly raised about the appropriate and equitable use of this technology and how best to control its contribution to rising health care expenditures.
