The number of disorders treated with gene therapy has increased from a few in 1990 to more than 900 in 2009. Of all the technologies provided by the new biology, gene therapy holds the promise of unlimited potential for curing disease and reversing the effects of aging. Gene Therapy, Revised Edition discusses the science behind gene therapy, as well as the ethical and legal issues associated with this therapy. Featuring updated and revised material including many new full-color figures and photographs this timely resource introduces two new chapters that focus on genomic research and the many recent gene therapy clinical trials. Additional genetic diseases are also highlighted, including retinal dystrophy, a form of blindness that is now treated with gene therapy in a clinical trial. Written in clear and accessible language, Gene Therapy, Revised Edition covers cell biology, biotechnology, and other topics relevant to gene therapy.

Gr. 9-12. The science and technology are detailed, dense, accurate, and up-to-date in this title in the New Biology series, and the readable discussion of the ethical issues shows that there are no simple answers. Physiologist Panno explains how stem cells can be used to treat, and possibly cure, a wide variety of diseases, and he predicts that the use of adult stem cells will soon be routine. An important chapter looks at legal practices in the U.S., Europe, and the U.K. The book includes occasional diagrams; an extensive, detailed glossary; and many bibliographical references to science and ethical discussions in print and on the Web. In addition, there is a chapter summarizing cell biology and recombinant DNA technology. A carefully done, in-depth series that will work well for researchers and debaters, adults as well as teens. Other titles in this new series: The Cell, Aging, Animal Cloning, Cancer, and Gene Therapy. Hazel Rochman Copyright American Library Association. All rights reserved

Cancer has been the driving force behind innumerable studies, leading to the discovery of oncogenes (or cancer-causing genes) and helping us understand the inner world of the cell. This knowledge has not only provided us with the ammunition we need to fight cancer, it has also paved the way for many powerful therapies that will someday rid the world of other noxious diseases, including AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, and the infirmities that strike us as we grow old. Cancer, Revised Edition explores the many facets of cancer research, from basic genetic and cellular mechanisms to the danger of carcinogens and the influence of lifestyle. This edition contains updated and revised material throughout, three new chapters, and many new drawings and photographs, all of which are now in full color.

Now with full-color photographs and line illustrations, Stem Cell Research, Revised Edition discusses the different types of stem cells, how they are studied in the laboratory, and the diseases that may be treated with these cells. This edition has been extensively revised and expanded to include four new chapters that discuss the origin and evolution of ordinary cells, as well as a detailed discussion of human and animal stem cells, therapeutic cloning, and a new form of stem cell that is produced by reprogramming ordinary skin cells. Featuring up-to-date coverage on the medical applications of stem cell therapy, this resource examines the growing cost of developing these therapies and the important role that pharmaceutical companies play. Written in accessible and straightforward language, this helpful book offers readers a timely look at this controversial topic.

There are yet several other books prewritten prior to this one that are about that Arizona crow and, in one, the animals decide to call the crow Pedro. Note that in his other short books to be released at a later date, these will explain Pedro's personal life as a crow and have other animal stories. Note that though the crow also never gives his name, the other animals call him Pedro just the same.

For many of us, life, while grand and adventurous, does not encompass all that is. We are born with a yearning for more and at some point it fades. There is always a part of us as a child, for some as an adult, that wonders if there is more. If maybe we aren't seeing everything. That maybe things are hidden all around us. What if every tale you ever heard was true? What if those creaks and bumps in the night are more than they seem? Maggie Walker is just a young girl of fifteen who’s given the choice of a new destiny. To see and become more than she ever thought possible. There is, such a thing as evil. Countless myths and legends give them names and you can find evidence all through history. Perception could be all that is keeping you from a new life...for better or worse.
