Notă biografică
Dr Nira Ben-Jonathan is Professor of Cancer Biology and Internal Medicine at the University of Cincinnati Medical School. She has published over 175 scholarly papers and reviews, edited a book - Catecholamines as Hormone Regulators - and contributed 14 chapters to medical textbooks and encyclopedias. She trained as a neuro-endocrinologist and endocrine physiologist and has focused her studies on prolactin, dopamine, endocrine disruptors, and other hormones as they affect brain, pituitary, and peripheral tissues, using cells, animal models and human tissues. More recently her focus has shifted to the role of hormones and signaling pathways in breast cancer and head and neck cancer. She has also been studying adipose tissue and human obesity. Dr Ben-Jonathan has served on many journal editorial boards and committees of scientific societies, reviewed manuscripts for dozens of journals. In 1992, she was elected chairman of the Gordon Research Conference on Prolactin. She has also been elected as a Fellow of the AAAS, and the Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine. The University of Cincinnati awarded her the Rieveschl Award for Outstanding Scientific Research. She was selected to the Edward Merker Lectureship in Translational Endocrinology by the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York.
Recenzii
"With a highly thoughtful organization and progression, this robust book is a
thorough investigation into what researchers would find useful for further
study. This book is recommended to those pursuing original research, as it lays
out the numerous pathways that have already been characterized to date. To
broaden the audience to more clinicians, it could better highlight clinical
correlates and related pharmacological interventions. Clinical students and
providers may have trouble digesting the basic-science-heavy nature of this
book and likely would prefer alternative sources specifically relevant to their
field of practice." - Victor S Wang, MD (Thomas Jefferson University)

Descriere
Dopamine is a small molecule, a brain-derived neuronal modulator, implicated in many neurological and psychiatric disorders. Outside the brain, dopamine affects normal and abnormal functions of many organs and regulatory systems. The book fills a gap in the understanding of the production, distribution and actions of this important molecule.
