Book Description
This three volume set collates the major research achievements in dermatological research from the past two years into a single source. It incorporates a broad range of topics including: experimental models; toxicology; regulatory matters; exposure assessment; therapeutics; cosmetics, and decontamination. Each section starts with an introductory chapter summarizing work to date and explaining how new research detailed in subsequent chapters contributes to our understanding of the skin. There are also predictions of where the next major developments are likely to occur. Readily accessible yet detailed, these books will interest researchers in the clinical, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, as well as academics and students.
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Advances in Dermatological Sciences is a three-volume set that collates major scientific research achievements over the last two years in a diverse range of dermatological research fields. Examples of key topics covered over all three volumes include experimental models, toxicology, regulatory, exposure assessment, therapeutics, cosmetics and decontamination. A unique feature of the books is the introductory chapter to each section that is written by an internationally-recognised expert summarising work-to-date, and explaining how new research contributes to our overall understanding of the skin and where the next major developments are likely to be focussed in the future. Each section contains several experimental chapters that present contemporary research on ‘hot topics’ or major advances relevant to the dermatological sciences. The books incorporate a broad range of specialist topics rather than focussing on one single aspect so as to appeal to a wider audience. Thus, the proposed books will distil cutting-edge advances across all of the dermatological sciences into one major work and so provide a one-stop portal for accessing the current state of knowledge that will communicate both a readily accessible overview (in the form of introductory chapters) and also detailed, expert contributions. The books will be essential reading for interdisciplinary scientists working in dermal pharmacology, dermatological and dermatotoxicological sciences.
