Histology: With Correlated Cell and Molecular Biology

by Wojciech Pawlina

Combining a reader-friendly textbook and a rich, full-color atlas, Histology: A Text and Atlas: With Correlated Cell and Molecular Biology, 9th Edition, equips medical, dental, health professions, and undergraduate biology and cell biology students with a comprehensive grasp of the clinical and functional correlates of histology and a vivid understanding of the structural and functional details of cells, tissues, and organs. The 9th Edition of this bestselling resource reflects the latest advances in cellular and molecular biology and relevant imaging techniques, accompanied by large, high-resolution illustrations and full-color photomicrographs that clarify microanatomy in vibrant detail. System chapters align conveniently with curricula units and emphasize a clinical context, making this proven approach ideal for integrated curricula as well as standalone histology courses. To accommodate reviewers’ suggestions, the ninth edition integrates new information in cell biology with clinical correlates, which readers will see as new clinical information items highlighted in blue text and in clinical boxes (called “Folders”). For example, the last few years of the COVID-19 pandemic has sparked interest about the changes in normal tissue when infected by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. Several chapters contain descriptions of these changes with underlying explanations of cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical features presented by patients. Additional changes include the following: A new discussion on the mononuclear phagocytic system and the cell biology of resident tissue macrophage has been added. The latest research findings in immune cell activation have been incorporated. Updated cellular biology topics include beige adipose tissue, the epithelial–mesenchymal transition, conjunctiva- associated lymphatic tissue, biogenesis and function of peroxisomes, and microsomes as the newest discovered form of cell-to-cell communication. New, more detailed information about the histology of the female and male external genitalia has been included. The skin chapter has been supplemented and updated with many new additions, including of skin color and aging. With the constant improvement in microscopic methods, a new basic discussion on three-dimensional (3D) microscopy methods was incorporated in the methods chapter.

Historia mundial de nuestros grandes errores

by Bullymagnets

Las metidas de pata más vergonzosas de toda la historia. Tus historiadores favoritos de YouTube, ahora en un libro. Cuando hacemos el recuento de la historia de la humanidad recordamos con orgullo las grandes hazañas, las conquistas, los descubrimientos y las victorias, pero en realidad por cada victoria hay un fracaso y por cada acierto, una infinidad de errores. Por cientos de años los seres humanos hemos metido la pata y, aunque no nos guste admitirlo, nuestra historia también está determinada por todos esos fracasos que nos hacen encoger de hombros. Este libro trata sobre esos momentos en los que un error, ya sea grande o pequeño, ha sido determinante para la historia y sus protagonistas. De distintas naturalezas, los errores han estado presentes para recordarle al ser humano su condición falible y, a veces, sin darse cuenta, son esos instantes de confusión, traición, error y debilidad los que han dado forma a nuestra existencia. De lo trágico a lo cómico, lo ridículo y lo inverosímil, en estas páginas se recogen los errores que en cada tiempo y lugar nos hacen llevarnos la mano a la cara y pensar para nuestros adentros: "Cómo es que no se dieron cuenta?"

Historias verdes: Conversaciones sobre la mariguana

by Eduardo Limón

¿Fumar o no fumar?, ésa es la cuestión a la que se enfrenta nuestra conciencia el día en que, por primera vez, se presenta ante nosotros la posibilidad de darse un "toque", o, más comúnmente dicho: un churro de mota. Escritores, músicos, científicos, promotores culturales y hasta tres dealers se dan cita en las páginas de Historias verdes para hablar del singular momento en que se encontraron con la mítica planta. Cada uno crea una crónica de su vida a partir de ese episodio; leer estos testimonios resulta pertinente frente al debate de la posible legalización de la mariguana en México. Eduardo Limón, periodista y escritor de gran trayectoria, conduce estas conversaciones y comparte algunas experiencias, y lejos de tomar una postura ante este polémico tema, apuesta por conciliar los gustos, las aversiones, los pros y contras en el consumo de la cannabis. Conversaciones con Fernando Rivera Calderón, Bef, Paco Ignacio Taibo II, Armando Vega-Gil, Joselo, Xavier Velasco, Ana Clavel, Fernanda Melchor, Ruzo, Juan Ramón de la Fuente y tres dealers. ¿Hay algo más humano que drogarse? FERNANDA MELCHOR Mariguana: un tema que dejó de ser prohibido y se volvió controvertido. JUAN RAMÓN DE L A FUENTE
