Gene therapy, or the use of genetic manipulation for diseasetreatment, is derived from advances in genetics, molecular biology,clinical medicine, and human genomics. Molecular medicine, theapplication of molecular biological techniques to disease treatmentand diagnosis, is derived from the development of human organtransplantation, pharmacotherapy, and elucidation of the humangenome. An Introduction to Molecular Medicine and GeneTherapy provides a basis for interpreting new clinical andbasic research findings in the areas of cloning, gene transfer, andtargeting; the applications of genetic medicine to clinicalconditions;

In recent years considerable progress and new developments in diagnostic and interventional cardiology have been observed, such as balloon angioplasty of coronary artery stenoses, reperfusion techniques in acute myocardial infarction, new pacing, and cardioversion-defibrillation techniques in ventricular tachyar rhythmias. On 5-8 May, 1985, an international symposium on 'Invasive Cardio vascular Therapy' was held in Cologne, which provided a survey on the experi ment~l and routine therapeutic measures presently available and practiced in cardiovascular medicine. This volume is based on the

Sparked by a new understanding that the development of tissues is not restricted to the embryonic phase of development and thus that regeneration of tissues can occur in adults, the emerging field of stem cell therapy has grown exponentially in the last several years. Crucially, the research and findings associated with stem cell research overlap into many other areas, such as basic cell biology, molecular biology and hematology, and the proliferation of clinical studies involving stem cell research is gradually

Substantial morbidity and mortality remains associated with thrombotic events has stimulated the rapid expansion of the available armamentarium to combat pathologic thrombosis. Pathologic thrombosis plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), ischemic complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), venous thromboembolic disease, and embolic complications of arrhythmias and various cardiomyopathies. Written by experts in the field, Antithrombotic Drug Therapy in Cardiovascular Disease carefully examines individual and various combinations of the available antithrombotic regimens including fibrinolytic agents,
