Molecular biology is revolutionizing human medicine with
enormous and far-reaching applications ranging from diagnostic
techniques for disease and genetic disorders to the design of drugs
and gene therapy. With the advent of this era, Wiley
InterScience presents two definitive and authoritative
reference works to bring together the converging areas of medicine
and molecular biology. Presenting all aspects of medicine relevant
at the molecular level as well as the world of molecular biology,
the Encyclopedia of Molecular Biology and the
Encyclopedia of Molecular Medicine offer a comprehensive
overview of both fields. As ideal companions, these two works
together sufficiently address the broad spectrum of information
needed by both researchers and practitioners in a wide variety of
disciplines including genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology,
oncology, and infectious disease.
The Encyclopedia of Molecular Biology is derived from the
four volume print work containing nearly 1,000 articles. All the
topics are divided into short, digestible entries.
The Encyclopedia of Molecular Medicine brings together
those aspects of medicine that have significance at the molecular
level, plus advances in molecular biology that are relevant to
medicine. With over 1,700 separate primary entries, this
comprehensive encyclopedia sets the standard for reference works in
this rapidly expanding field. The coverage in Encyclopedia of
Molecular Medicine ranges from the organ to the cell and on to
the molecular level and includes extensive cross-referencing. The
initial content is derived from the five volume print.
Both encyclopedias include extensive cross-referencing and
contain about 2,000 images, many in color. With new and revised
articles added regularly, these works will stay at the forefront of
continuing developments and future directions in the
field.
