Antiviral Drugs: From Basic Discovery Through Clinical Trials

Antiviral Drugs: From Basic Discovery Through Clinical Trials 
W ey | 3133 | ISBN: 1691666633 | 691 pages | PDF | 18.8 MB

This book focuses on new small molecule approaches to combat viral infections. The chapters describe the discovery and development from bench through the clinic of relatively recently-approved antiviral drugs and compounds in advanced clinical development. Organized by a virus (such as HIV, HCV, RSV, influenza, HBV and CMV) and written by top academic and industrial authorities in the field, the book provides a unique opportunity to study, understand and apply discovery and development principles and learning without the need for an individual to research, analyze and synthesize all immense sourcing references.  Topics showcase challenges and solutions of issues encountered, offering tremendous experience accumulated over many years of research that will be particularly useful to basic and bench scientists as well as clinicians as they continue discovering and developing new drugs and therapies.

Viruses and Nanotechnology

Marianne Manchester, Nicole F. Steinmetz - Viruses and Nanotechnology
Publisher: Sрringer | 2008-11-17 | ISBN: 3540693769 | PDF | 160 pages | 20.43 MB

Nanobiotechnology involves the exploitation of biomaterials, devices or methodologies at the nanoscale. Virus particles are natural nanomaterials and have received particular attention as novel building blocks for materials design and fabrication. In this volume, leaders in the field of viral nanobiotechnology address the fundamental means for generating virus-based nanoparticles by performing chemistry on virion substrates, multilayered arrays and hybrid virus networks incorporating materials such as quantum dots and carbon nanotubes. The use of virus-like protein cages to generate novel materials that can be used for biomedical applications such as biomedical imaging and vaccine purposes is discussed. Finally, the novel tumor-targeting properties of certain viruses are harnessed to achieve specificity in vivo. This volume describes the unprecedented opportunities to capitalize on the vast knowledge of virus particles and their physical and material properties.

Desk Encyclopedia of Human and Medical Virology

Brian W.J. Mahy, Marc H.V. van Regenmortel "Desk Encyclopedia of Human and Medical Virology"
Academic Press | English | 2009-10-30 | ISBN: 0123751470 | 670 pages | PDF | 12 MB

This volume contains 82 chapters that provide detail and understanding to the fields of human and medical virology. The first section describes general features of common human viruses with specialized chapters related to HIV/AIDS. The volume goes on to describe exotic virus infections, including one now eradicated virus (smallpox) and some now controlled by vaccination such as yellow fever. Concepts of medical virology are further developed with entries on viruses associated with oncogenesis and selections of interest to medical virology.

The most comprehensive single-volume source providing an overview of virology issues related to human and medical applications
Bridges the gap between basic undergraduate texts and specialized reviews
Concise and general overviews of important topics within the field will help in preparation of lectures, writing reports, or drafting grant applications

Viral Transport in Plants by Elisabeth Waigmann, Manfred Heinlein

Elisabeth Waigmann, Manfred Heinlein, "Viral Transport in Plants (Plant Cell Monographs)"

Springer; 1 edition (June 11, 2007) | English | 3540698426 | 188 pages | PDF | 2.08 MB

Intercellular communication in plants plays pivotal roles in coordination and control of development and defence responses and involves the trafficking of RNA and protein macromolecules through cytoplasmic cell wall channels termed plasmodesmata. Viruses pirate this existing macromolecular transport pathway to spread infection and, therefore, represent important tools to investigate the cellular mechanisms that govern intercellular communication. The book provides a state of the art overview of the intricate functional virus:host relationships that allow a virus or viroid to move cell-to-cell and systemically through the plant, as well as from plant to plant, and, thus, to spread infection. The book also illustrates the mechanisms by which viruses overcome plant defence responses, such as RNA silencing. Arabidopsis is introduced as a plant host eminently suitable for genetic approaches to identify novel players in plant:virus interactions.
