Carlson, Robert H. Biology is technology : the promise, peril, and new business of engineering life. Cambridge, Mass. London : Harvard University Press, 2010. (SABRE donacija) Technology is a process and a body of knowledge as much as a collection of artifacts. Biology is no different--and we are just beginning to comprehend the challenges inherent in the next stage of biology as a human technology. It is this critical moment, with its wide-ranging implications, that Robert Carlson considers in Biology is technology. He offers a uniquely informed perspective on the endeavors that contribute to current progress in this area--the science of biological systems and the technology used to manipulate them. In a number of case studies, Carlson demonstrates that the development of new mathematical, computational, and laboratory tools will facilitate the engineering of biological artifacts--up to and including organisms and ecosystems. Exploring how this will happen, with reference to past technological advances, he explains how objects are constructed virtually, tested using sophisticated mathematical models, and finally constructed in the real world. Such rapid increases in the power, availability, and application of biotechnology raise obvious questions about who gets to use it, and to what end. Carlson's thoughtful analysis offers rare insight into our choices about how to develop biological technologies and how these choices will determine the pace and effectiveness of innovation as a public good.

The advances in biotechnology and molecular biology over recent years have resulted in a large number of novel molecules with the potential to revolutionize the treatment and prevention of disease. However, such potential is severely compromised by significant obstacles to delivery of these drugs in vivo. These obstacles are often so great that effective drug delivery and targeting is now recognized as the key to effective development of many therapeutics. Advanced drug delivery and targeting can offer significant advantages to conventional drugs, such as increased efficiency, convenience, and the potential for line extensions and market expansion. An accessible and easy-to-read textbook, Drug delivery and targeting for pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists is the first book to provide a comprehensive introduction to the principles of advanced drug delivery and targeting, their current applications and potential future developments.

Kalenić, Smilja i suradnici. Medicinska mikrobiologija. Zagreb : Medicinska naklada, 2013. Nakon zasebnih udžbenika iz bakteriologije, virologije i parazitologije, pred čitateljima je jedinstveni udžbenik iz medicinske mikrobiologije. Mikrobiologija se kao znanost veoma razvila u posljednjih desetak godina. Varijabilnost mikroorganizama dovodi do pojave novih inačica poznatih mikroorganizama, ali i do pojave novih mikroorganizama, posebno rezistentnih na antibiotike, do pomaka uzročnika infekcija u životinja prema ljudima, te do ponovne pojave već zaboravljenih uzročnika. Sva ta dinamika unutar mikrobiologije zahtijeva relativno opsežan tekst koji predstavljamo u ovoj knjizi. Autori i urednik bit će zadovoljni ako studenti udžbenik budu smatrali korisnim i pomogne im u kasnijem proučavanju patogeneze, dijagnostike, liječenja i prevencije zaraznih bolesti. Knjiga će biti vrlo korisna i liječnicima primarne zdravstvene zaštite kako bi osvježili svoja znanja iz područja mikrobiologije i svima onima koji se bave prevencijom i liječenjem zaraznih bolesti.

Landecker, Hannah. Culturing life : how cells became technologies. London : Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Mass., 2007. (SABRE donacija) How did cells make the journey, one we take so much for granted, from their origin in living bodies to something that can be grown and manipulated on artificial media in the laboratory, a substantial biomass living outside a human body, plant, or animal? This is the question at the heart of Hannah Landecker's book. She shows how cell culture changed the way we think about such central questions of the human condition as individuality, hybridity, and even immortality and asks what it means that we can remove cells from the spatial and temporal constraints of the body and "harness them to human intention." Rather than focus on single discrete biotechnologies and their stories--embryonic stem cells, transgenic animals--Landecker documents and explores the wider genre of technique behind artificial forms of cellular life. She traces the lab culture common to all those stories, asking where it came from and what it means to our understanding of life, technology, and the increasingly blurry boundary between them. The technical culture of cells has transformed the meaning of the term "biological," as life becomes disembodied, distributed widely in space and time. Once we have a more specific grasp on how altering biology changes what it is to be biological, Landecker argues, we may be more prepared to answer the social questions that biotechnology is raising.

Lipozenčić, Jasna and coauthors. Update in dermatologic drug therapy. Zagreb : Academy of Medical Sciences of Croatia, 2012. Besides dermatovenerologists with a main role, there are important internal medicine specialists, immunologists, infectologists, gynecologists included with their knowledge on recognizing of drug side-effects. About 30% of patients have dermatologic problems in every day routine of family physicians. Treatment of skin disease has changed remarkably during the last 10 years. Thus, novel targets have been identified and specific drugs developed which directly interfere with or alter the processes. Many of these new agents are administered systematically, either orally or by subcutaneous injection. And yet, as with all forms of drug therapy, these highly efficacious agents can be associated with severe side effects and drug-induced toxicity. To understand the etiopathogenetic mechanisms of drug induced as well as adverse events why a certain disease occurs and how to find the best cure for it. With the rapid development of novel therapeutics, there has been a major evolution in the clinical practice of dermatovenerology.

Testa, Bernard; Krämer, Stephanie D. The biochemistry of drug metabolism : volume 2 : conjugations, consequences of metabolism, influencing factors. Zürich : Verlag Helvetica Chimica Acta, Wiley-VCH, 2010. Volume two contains the last four parts of this work. Part 4 is devoted to the huge field of conjugation reactions, with much information being given on transferases. As in the two preceding parts, each drug-metabolizing enzyme or enzyme family begins with an Enzyme Identity Card summarizing its nomenclature and biochemical essentials. The reactions examined here include methylation, sulfation, glucuronidation, acetylation, conjugation with glutathione, while there is also a rigorous presentation of the pivotal role of xenobiotic-coenzyme A conjugates as a crossroads to various metabolic reactions. The next part examines the consequences of drug and xenobiotic metabolism in a pharmacological and toxicological perspective, with due attention paid to full activation, as is found with prodrugs, and to the worrying case of xenobiotic toxification. Parts 6 and 7 cover the inter-individual and intra-individual factors that influence drug metabolism, starting with an introduction to evolutionary events leading to species differences in the metabolism of xenobiotics and to polymorphisms within a particular species. Focusing on humans, the most relevant polymorphic drug-metabolizing enzymes are discussed, concentrating on ethnic differences and on the consequences for the pharmacokinetic behavior of affected drugs, while also introducing sex-dependent metabolic reactions. The final part introduces the mechanisms leading to increases or decreases in enzyme activities as the concept of enzyme induction via nuclear receptors and the different mechanisms of enzyme inhibition are explained. With these basics in mind, various influencing factors are discussed, including physiological and pathological conditions, as well as drugs, nutrients and environmental agents with a special focus on drug-drug interactions.

Testa, Bernard; Krämer, Stephanie D. The biochemistry of drug metabolism : volume 1 : principles, redox reactions, hydrolyses. Zürich : Verlag Helvetica Chimica Acta, Wiley-VCH, 2008. The first of the two volumes is divided into three parts. Part One begins by introducing xenobiotics in the broad context of physiological metabolism, and continues with an overview of the processes of drug disposition and metabolism. It then goes on to summarize the macroscopic and microscopic locations of drug metabolism in animals and humans. This is followed by an introduction to the all-important issue of the consequences of drug and xenobiotic metabolism, providing an initial overview of pharmacokinetic, pharmacological and toxicological consequences. The last chapter examines drug metabolism in the context of drug research, with a focus on medicinal chemistry. The second part is a major component of the book, corresponding to the role of oxidoreductases as major agents of metabolism. Cytochromes P450 receive particular attention, namely their multiplicity, structure, catalytic mechanisms, and the various reactions they catalyze, while other oxidoreductases are also presented, such as flavin monooxygenases, monoamine oxidases and other amine oxidases, aldehyde oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase, peroxidases, and dehydrogenases-reductases. Each drug-metabolizing enzyme or enzyme family begins with an Enzyme Identity Card summarizing its nomenclature and biochemical essentials. Part Three begins with a survey of the classification, properties and catalytic mechanism of the innumerable hydrolases known or suspected to play a role in xenobiotic metabolism. The focus then shifts to a systematic presentation of the various substrate classes, namely carboxylic esters, amides and peptides, lactams and lactones, esters of inorganic acids, alkene and arene epoxides, and some miscellaneous hydrolyzable moieties.
