VITAL SIGNS
New on the bookshelf: Recent releases by DMS faculty authors
Molecular and Cellular Insights
to Ion Channel Biology. Edited
by E. Edward Bittar, M.D.;
and Robert Maue, Ph.D., professor of
physiology at DMS; Elsevier;
2004.
This book explores ion
channels through genetic, biochemical,
electrophysiological,
and other types
of research. It
looks at how
the function
and dysfunction
of channel
molecules
have furthered
understanding of their physiological
roles. New perspectives
include the immunology of the
glutamate receptor and aquaporins
as ion channels.
Microbial Biofilms. Edited by
Mahmoud Ghannoum, Ph.D.;
and George O'Toole, Ph.D., assistant
professor of microbiology and
immunology at DMS; ASM
Press; 2004.
This book covers the
biology of biofilms from their development,
antibiotic resistance,
and architecture, to their roles in
infectious disease.
It encompasses
bacteria
and fungi and
includes chapters
on genetic
exchange and
biofilms, hospital-
acquired infections, biofilms
and implant infections, and the
history of the development of
the biofilm concept.
