Biomolecular Action of Ionizing Radiation: Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering

Autor Shirley Lehnert
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 apr 2018
Embracing the transformation of radiation sciences by the recent surge of developments in molecular biology, this progressive text offers an up-to-date analysis of in vitro and in vivo molecular responses in the body induced by ionizing radiation. With a unique emphasis on medical physics applications, Biomolecular Action of Ionizing Radiation also presents a much needed, in-depth perspective on clinical applications for the treatment of cancer and radiation injuries. Based on a popular course given by the author at McGill University,the bookplaces the traditional tenets of radiation biology in the context of contemporary cell and molecular biology. Using terms that non-experts in molecular biology can understand, it clarifies the underlying mechanisms of radiation effects on molecular interactions including signal transduction pathways, modes of cell killing, and non-targeted effects. The author subsequently associates key principles and advances with potential applications, including the use of ionizing radiation as a cytotoxic and cytostatic agent, and radiosensitization by targeting molecular intermediates or signaling molecules involved in radiation-induced processes.
Raising the standard for radiation biology texts that are currently available, Biomolecular Action of Ionizing Radiation is an outstanding resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in medical physics, radiation oncology, radiation biology, and those who have an interest in the radiation sciences and in cancer treatment.

Recenzii

"… The new textbook is targeted at students in radiation oncology and medical physics and should be a useful resource for graduate students with interests in radiation sciences and cancer treatment. … Overall, I felt the author has generally achieved the aim of developing a textbook on applications of molecular biology to radiation biology relating to radiation oncology. …"
Crystallography Reviews, Vol. 15, No. 2, April-June 2009
"The major strength of this book likes in its in-depth coverage of recent advances in radiation-induced signal transduction pathways and molecular mechanisms of cellular responses to ionizing radiation . . . succeeded in providing an up-to-date synopsis of the field of radiation research in the early 21st century and is a worthy addition to the library of didactic textbooks in our field. This book has a comprehensive and clearly laid out table of contents. The text is succinct and easy to read. This book certainly belongs on the bookshelf of anyone who is interested in understanding radiation biology including residents, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers. In particular, radiation oncology residents will find this book to be an excellent source of information for understanding the molecular basis of radiation biology."
