Features: This book systematically introduces the fundamental concepts, theories, and techniques of molecular biology, and elaborates in detail on the molecular mechanisms of the cell cycle, apoptosis, cell signaling, and malignant tumors, as well as their medical significance. From a medical perspective in molecular biology, it covers gene isolation, cloning, recombination, mutation, and expression regulation in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It also discusses topics related to medical biological technology and biopharmaceuticals, including gene diagnosis, gene-engineered drugs, gene-engineered vaccines, gene-engineered antibodies, gene therapy, transgenic animals, and animal cloning. Additionally, the book introduces leukocyte differentiation antigens and adhesion molecules, the major histocompatibility complex and its encoded molecules, and the molecular mechanisms of cytokines and immune responses. The book strives to present the latest technologies, methods, and advancements in the field of molecular biology. It serves as a reference for researchers in the life sciences and medical fields, as well as a textbook for graduate and undergraduate students in medicine, life sciences, biotechnology, and biopharmaceuticals.
