Mechanistic Toxicology: The Molecular Basis of How Chemicals Disrupt Biological Targets, Second Edition

Autor Urs A. Boelsterli
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 mar 2007

Considerăm că Mechanistic Toxicology vine să acopere o lacună critică în literatura academică actuală, unde adesea lipsește o legătură conceptuală directă între evenimentele de la nivel molecular și manifestările clinice ale toxicității. Această a doua ediție, semnată de Urs A. Boelsterli, rafinează principiile fundamentale prin care substanțele chimice perturbă țintele biologice, oferind un instrument esențial pentru evaluarea riscurilor asupra sănătății umane. Comparabil cu Principles of Biochemical Toxicology de John A. Timbrell în rigurozitate, volumul de față se distinge prin actualizarea necesară în domenii emergente, precum toxicologia sistemelor și mecanismele noi de moarte celulară necrotică sau apoptotică.

În contextul operei autorului, lucrarea de față reprezintă o aprofundare tehnică a temelor explorate în Why the Dose Matters. Dacă lucrarea anterioară punea accent pe importanța expunerii, Mechanistic Toxicology disecă mecanismele intime ale perturbării homeostaziei calciului, stresului oxidativ și inactivării proteinelor. Structura este organizată progresiv: începe cu tipurile de răspuns toxic și transportul celular selectiv, trece prin bioactivarea xenobioticelor și culminează cu secțiuni noi dedicate perturbării transducției semnalelor și funcției mitocondriale. Subliniem faptul că textul este susținut de peste 200 de ilustrații, esențiale pentru vizualizarea căilor metabolice complexe. Fiecare capitol include casete cu informații de context și recenzii bibliografice, transformând un subiect dens într-o resursă structurată pentru cercetători și profesioniști.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această ediție specialiștilor din biochimie și toxicologie care au nevoie de o bază teoretică actualizată despre modul în care xenobioticele interacționează cu macromoleculele celulare. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere clară a tranziției de la evenimentul molecular la patologia de organ, beneficiind de capitole noi despre toxicologia sistemelor și semnalizarea celulară, totul într-un format grafic ce facilitează învățarea mecanismelor complexe.


Descriere scurtă

A thorough understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the individual expression of toxic effects provides an important tool for assessment of human health risk. New aspects, major advances, and new areas in molecular and cellular biology and toxicology demand updated sources of information to elucidate the functional mechanics of human toxicology.Mechanistic Toxicology: The Molecular Basis of How Chemicals Disrupt Biological Targets, Second Edition retains the accessible format of the original to present the general principles that link xenobiotic-induced toxicity with the molecular pathways that underlie these toxic effects. Extensively illustrated, this book forms a conceptual bridge between multiple events at the molecular level and the determinants of toxicity at the physiological and cellular level. Specific examples of drugs, environmental pollutants, and other chemicals are carefully chosen to illustrate and highlight the fundamental mechanisms of toxicity at different toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic levels. The book includes references and review articles at the end of each chapter, as well as boxed text for relevant review information on biological, biochemical, molecular, and toxicological background. Linking molecular pathways to more general biomedical contexts, the author ensures that the reader is not lost in the details and instead receives a broad understanding of the processes underlying xenobiotic toxicity.

    Recenzii

    'Students taking formal training in toxicology would definitely benefit from adding this book to their collection, since it covers many recent advances in the field.' - British Toxicology Society Newsletter

    'This recently-published volume is a clear state-of-the-art explanation and description of how chemicals disrupt biological targets on a molecular basis. It is a beauty!'. - Toxicology Letters
    “This book is specialized to one particular area of toxicology, the mechanisms by which topic substances work. It focuses on the general principles that link xenobiotic-induced toxicity with molecular pathways underlying those toxic effects. In includes many examples using drugs, environmental pollutants and other chemicals. … each chapter has been updated and new chapters added. … this book is intended for the advanced undergraduate of beginning graduate level student. … it might also be used by specialists in other areas needing information about the subject. … there is an extensive bibliography of papers at the end of each chapter.”

    Descriere

    Incorporating recent advances in molecular biology and examining cellular and molecular mechanisms with regard to toxic effects, this second edition features new chapters on types of toxic responses, novel mechanisms derived from systems toxicology, and disruption of cellular signal transduction. Expanded chapters include the disruption of mitochondrial function, mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, and selective depletion of mitochondrial DNA. The book links molecular and cellular biology with xenobiotic toxicology and contains new examples and illustrations to supplement material. Additional topics include oxidant stress, apoptotic and necrotic cell death, nuclear-receptor-mediated toxicity, and immune-mediated toxicity.
