Stem Cells From Hype to Hope

edited by Khawaja Husnain Haider (Sulaiman AlRajhi Medical School, Saudi Arabia) During the last two decades, stem cells have progressed from merely a concept to a vibrant field of regenerative medicine which is aimed at addressing the root cause of the problem rather than conventional methods of intervention that mostly provide symptomatic relief. Stem cell therapy either alone or in combination with the other established treatment strategies is a hope for patients who suffer from the “incurable” diseases such as Alzheimer, diabetes, myocardial infarction etc. Besides aspirations in the clinical perspective, stem cells provide excellent in vitro disease models for drug development. 250pp 978-981-120-552-1

EVOLUTION Exploring Complexity

Mechanisms of Evolution

Mathematical Population Genetics and Evolution of Bacterial Cooperation

The book introduces fresh ideas about biological and cultural evolution united in a set of common mechanisms. The principle of natural selection is analyzed especially regarding its possible applications to human culture, language and science. The concept of complexity has been given an operational definition that is found to be prevalent all over evolutionary history, thus suggesting a progressive evolutionary course.

by Volker Hösel (Technical University Munich, Germany), Christina Kuttler (Technical University Munich, Germany) & Johannes Müller (Technical University Munich, Germany)

by Borje Ekstig, retired (University of Uppsala, Sweden)

So this book thus builds on a unique discovery of a relation between the developmental and evolutionary processes and presents several novel mechanisms common to biological and cultural evolution in the context of complexity. 200pp 978-981-120-332-9

Inspired in part by the surprising ways that DNA sequences change — such as his early discovery of a fundamental mispairing mechanism by which DNA sequences expand — and drawing on a career’s worth of experience both as a research scientist as well as a biology and chemistry tutor — the author provides an engaging account that is essential reading — both for the public awareness and understanding of the science of evolution and for students and professionals in the biomedical sciences. 400pp 978-1-78634-726-8

Social life of bacteria is in the focus of recent research. Bacteria are simple enough to be accessible by science, but still complex enough to show cooperation, division of labor, bet-hedging, cross-talk and synchronized activities, and a rich variety of social traits. A central question of evolutionary theory is the explanation why this social life did develop, and why these systems are evolutionary stable. This book introduces the reader into the theory of evolution, covering classical models and as well as recent developments. The theory developed is used to represent the up-to-date understanding of social bacteria.

This book describes genomic uracil in evolution, as a DNA constituent in adaptive and innate immune responses and as a mutagenic lesion causing cancer. Genomic uracil is as old as life and may have been a component in self-replicating molecules in the prebiotic era. The first living cells probably contained uracil in DNA, later to be replaced by thymine. The surprising discovery of enzymatic DNA cytosine deamination by the AID/APOBEC deaminases subsequently has implicated genomic uracil in the development of human cancer. The aim of the book is to contribute a reference text for graduate students, molecular biologists, immunologists and cancer biologists. 304pp 978-981-3233-49-2

GENERAL LIFE SCIENCE Corrupt Cultures

Memoirs of a Cancer Researcher

“Fake News” and Cheating in Science

by Jose Russo (The Fox Chase Cancer Center-Temple Health, Philadephia, USA)

by Sir Roy Y Calne (University of Cambridge, UK) This book is concerned with cheating in Science and the harm that it does, concentrating on three disasters in cell culture, which caused international concern and personal tragedy for the perpetrators. There is an overview of plant, animal and human cheating, providing a background to the focus on Science. This demands a special form of truth in that claims need to be substantiated by repetition in independent laboratories to confirm that the claims work. The nature of originality is examined in art and Science. 140pp 978-1-78634-560-8

The Future of Homo

by Michel Odent (Primal Health Research Centre, UK) Since the advent of “ecological awareness” in the 1970s, Michel Odent has continuously claimed that it is commonplace to anticipate the effects of human activities on the ecosystems without considering the probable transformations of Homo induced by multiple aspects of modern lifestyle. In 1979, in “Genèse de l’homme é cologique”, he raised questions such as: “How does respect for Mother Earth develop?” It is significant that, forty years later, a Paris publisher suddenly took the initiative to present a 2019 edition.

This narrative of a cancer researcher spans a period in which biomedicine research has been so revolutionary. The educational background and socioeconomic circumstances of the author make the story unique, shedding light on many important intellectual achievements. The author also provides an insightful view on how decisions at the upper echelon of scientific institutions affect cancer researchers. The vivid account of scientific discovery and intellectual evolution provides a fine example for the next generation of cancer researchers. 688pp 978-981-3271-19-7

Public Understandings

A Practical Guide to Getting the Most Out of Attending Scientific Conferences

edited by Michael J Reiss (University College London, UK), Fraser Watts (University of Cambridge, UK) & Harris Wiseman (University of Birmingham, UK) This book arises from a concern that in the public dissemination of biology the need to integrate these different perspectives is not coming across well. In popularisations, simplistic micro explanations always seem to arouse most interest and to capture the headlines. That risks distorting and simplifying the complexity of biological processes, and can mislead people. In this book we are urging a concerted attempt to come to grips with the interactive complexity of biology, and to find ways of conveying it to the public accessibly and effectively. 250pp Oct 2019 978-981-120-748-8 US$88 £75 978-981-120-826-3(pbk) US$48 £40

There are two types of applications of quantum theory in physical systems — the “trivial applications” and “nontrivial applications”. Since every object in this universe consists of atoms and molecules, they should be described by the laws of quantum theory — which we call trivial applications. On the other hand, there exist some systems where the observational results cannot be explained by the laws of classical physics and this requires a change of paradigm — these are known as non-trivial applications. 200pp 978-981-3109-82-7

Learning About Your Genes A Primer for Non-Biologists by Errol C Friedberg (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, USA) Genes were unknowingly discovered in the 19th century by Gregor Mendel, a Czechoslovakian monk. It was later established that genes are made of DNA, a biological compound found in tiny thread-like structures called chromosomes that are located in the nuclei of all cells in our bodies. DNA consists of chains of entities called bases of which there are four in nature. DNA consists of long chains of bases (sometimes referred to as DNA sequences) that are joined in any order, but the precise order and length of which constitute different genes. 124pp Nov 2018 978-981-3272-61-3 US$48 £40 978-981-120-829-4(pbk) US$28 £25

Bridging the Gap Integrative Oncology and the Practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine by Bianca Di Giulio (The Wellness Principle, USA), James Munson (Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine of Napa, USA) The book’s inherent value, currently, is in its uniqueness. There are few books on Integrative Oncology (IO). There are few books on the entirety of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of cancer. There are even fewer, if any, books that deal with the topics of Integrative Oncology and the use of traditional Chinese medicine as a whole in the treatment of people with cancer. While very broad and deep topics, this makes for a varied audience of interest that includes not just the TCM practitioner or student, but Western health practitioners and patients as well as laypeople interested in the topic of oncology. For those interested in the topic of IO, it gives one of the few non-biased, honest and critical views of the state of IO in contrast to what is promoted by various institutions and societies. For the Western health practitioner and/or patient, many of whom are completely unfamiliar with TCM and how it works or can be used, it provides information on the breadth of TCM and how it can be applied in various ways to help improve outcomes. For the TCM practitioner or student, it provides much needed information on how to go about caring for a patient with cancer to include clinical pearls and important Western medical information and terminology. 300pp 978-981-120-402-9
