The Brescia division of the Italian Association of Blood donors
(AVIS Brescia) celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1985. The idea of
organizing a Postgraduate Course on Viral Hepatitis on this
occasion developed for ob vious reasons. Viral hepatitis is a major
concern in blood transfusion and Brescia is located in the region
of Lombardy characterized by a high HBsAg carrier rate in its
population. Thus it seemed timely to convene a scientific forum in
which the present state of knowledge on viral hepatitis would be
summarized. This would allow us to review the tremendous progress
achieved over the last 15 years, and also to focus on latest
developments which pave the way for future investigation. The
publication of the proceedings of this meeting was considered use
ful, since it provides a tangible reminder of a comprehensive
overview of the broad topic of viral hepatitis, its complications,
and its connections with the practice of blood transfusion. The
organizers were fortunate in obtaining the active participation of
recognized experts in a variety of hepatological diSCiplines. Their
contri butions summarized the more mature areas of knowledge in the
field, in cluding clinical aspects, epidemiology and morphology, as
well as newer developments in the forefront of hepatitis research,
like new diagnostic techniques, oncogenesis, treatment, and
vaccination."
Molecular and Cell Biology of the Liver features the latest
research findings regarding liver structure and function. A unique
feature of the book is the brief science reviews that are included
in each chapter which provide essential background information to
allow readers to better grasp the subject matter within a chapter.
The book covers liver biology from the molecular level to groups of
liver cells and explains how groups of hepatocytes interact in
similar microenvironments. Other important cell types found in the
liver are also examined. Illustrations ranging from electron
micrographs to fully rendered drawings act as visual aids to help
readers understand complex structural-functional interactions.
Molecular and Cell Biology of the Liver will benefit hepatologists,
gastroenterologists, cell biologists, anatomists, toxicologists,
and other researchers interested in liver structure and function.
