Molecular Therapeutics [PDF ebook] 
21st Century Medicine

‘This book should be useful to lecturers who teach senior
undergraduates, graduate students, and students in the biomedical
sciences in general. More globally, Greenwell and Mc Culley’s
book should encourage academicians of any stripe who for some time
have been honing their lectures in a niche subject area to turn
their courses into textbooks.’ -Biochemistry and
Molecular Biology Education
Molecular therapeutics refers to the developments in molecular
biology that are focused on treating disease with new
molecular-based drugs.
By taking advantage of recent advances and increased
understanding in the field of human genetics, this book provides
essential background knowledge and key literature on a broad range
of novel approaches and disciplines. These include making
recombinant proteins, xenotransplantation gene therapy and
therapeutic cloning. Molecular Therapeutics: 21st Century
Medicine describes the techniques – including their
associated benefits, problems, pitfalls – and discusses their
applicability with respect to treating microbial, inherited,
multifactoral and acquired diseases. The book also pays specific
attention to the ethical issues associated with this new field.
* Cutting-edge topics and clinically relevant
materials engage and maintain student interest
* Self-assessment questions are included throughout the book
* Features an additional web site, with a web forum, regular
updates and Power Point slides of figures from the book
Molecular Therapeutics: 21st Century Medicine is a
comprehensive, accessible and engaging guide to the rapidly
developing field of molecular therapeutics. It is essential reading
for all students in this area of research and also of interest for
health professionals involved in these novel therapies.
