This 2nd edition updates the understanding of ocular biochemistry, incorporating significant strides in areas like visual transduction, diabetes, immunochemistry, and cataractogenesis. It first covers basic biochemistry before detailing molecular events peculiar to the eye, adding new chapters on aqueous/ocular fluids and tissue degradation to aid students and readers in understanding the pathological and normal performance of the eye.
A detailed analysis of Colorectal Cancer, covering molecular pathways (Serrated, Microsatellite Instability, and Chromosomal Instability), nonmodifiable and modifiable risk factors (including hereditary syndromes like FAP and Lynch), classic clinical findings, complications, diagnostic screening protocols for average-risk and high-risk patients, and treatment strategies based on disease stage.
New cancer cells exist in an ever-changing “ecology” and are subject to evolutionary pressures. This edited book explores themes including the dynamics of mutation, epigenetics, and gene expression noise as sources of genetic diversity; how scarce resources influence cancer therapy resistance; predator–prey dynamics mirrored in immune-cancer cross-talk; how cancer cells parallel niche construction theory; and how changing fitness landscapes enable cancer growth. It bridges disciplines like cancer biology, ecology, and evolutionary biology, serving as a critical resource for understanding cancer as a disease of multicellularity grounded in evolutionary principles.
