Molecular biology emerged from advances in biochemistry during the 1940s and 1950s, when the structure of the nucleic acids and proteins were elucidated. Beginning in the 1970s, with nucleic acid enzymology and the discovery of the restriction enzymes, the tools of molecular biology became widely available and applied in cell biology to study how genes are regulated. This new knowledge impacted endocrinology and reproductive biology since it was largely known that the secretion of the internal glands affected the phenotypes, and expression of genes. Modern reproductive biology encompasses...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a classic female infertility problem affecting an estimated 6-10% of all women and many of whom are unaware of the problem.

Hautkrankheiten im Bereich des mannlichen und weiblichen Genitale werden durch die Eigenheiten der Genitalregion modifiziert. Eine Reihe davon manifestiert sich aber auch nur im Genitalbereich. Diese werden oft erstmals von einem Facharzt beobachtet, der sich mit anderen genitalen Beschwerden beschaftigt, etwa der Urologe bei Mannern oder der Gynakologe bei Frauen. Dieses Buch mochte gerade den Nicht-Dermatologen...

Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) of the ovary with its unique clinical and biological features has attracted great attention, and calls for the publication of a specialized book on the subject. This is the first atlas that has narrowed its focus to CCC. Revealed here are the typical and variable histological features of CCC and related tumors. Hundreds of high-quality photographs help the reader to recognize the pathological features and clinical manifestations of CCC and to formulate diagnoses confidently and accurately.
