Three years since the publication of the previous edition Istologia, which has become something of a classic, is now available in its fifth edition.
This latest revision of the text, which was intended to reflect new knowledge while being careful to retain the original structure of a work whose main features are the ultra-modern approach to the functions of the Golgi apparatus and the new way of approaching and describing the vacuolar apparatus, involved re-writing the text, eliminating some parts and extending others so as to reflect the current flow of knowledge. Particular attention has also been paid to the iconography, which is made up of 792 diagrams in colour and in black and white, and is a distinctive feature of this textbook.

The subdivision into two sections – cell biology and tissue biology – and the graphics used make this text a useful and flexible study aid.

Questo volume colma la lacuna relativa alla citologia nasale. È indirizzato a tutti gli specialisti delle vie respiratorie, quindi non solo Otorinolaringoiatri, ma anche Allergologi, Pneumologi e Pediatri

In recent years cytology has grown in importance among the many medical specialties because of its demonstrated practical benefits

The aim is to provide students with tools to understand the subject and a study model they can apply to other disciplines during their medical education.

Medical Histology is a modern text mainly oriented towards the “medical” aspect, in order to provide students with tools to frame the subject in the context of preclinical disciplines

Il presente volume, naturale complemento del "gemello" (La cellula), prende in considerazione l'organizzazione sovracellulare della materia vivente. Il testo, alla trattazione, snella ma completa, dei temi cari all'Istologia classica (ovvero la detta...

A pochi anni dal primo intervento di revisione, e sempre nell’ottica di modernizzare e valorizzare il testo per “metterlo al passo” con i continui progressi e con le recenti acquisizioni della ricerca biologica, la nuova edizione del volume si caratt...

Science is advancing rapidly, thanks to the evolution of new technologies. Despite, this some of the new advances in human biology are struggling to be included in microscopic anatomy textbooks. This volume is thus intended to be a departure from the traditional approach: considerable attention has been paid to the essential elements, as well as to the microscopic structure of human organs.
Together with a wealth of stunning light and electron microscopic images, the volume contains illustrative diagrams showing the arrangement of the microscopic structures, to help students interpret the images and understand the relations between structure and function. In particular, there are diagrams relating to functional and cytological units, the microcirculation and the body’s barriers.
Furthermore, practical notes on light microscopy and references to clinical anatomy have been included to help the student understand morphological details of particular clinical significance.

The authors of this book set out to produce working tool able to meet the following needs:
to offer students a necessarily concise morphological-functional framework for interpreting the metabolic processes that take place at cell and organelle level (functional cytology);
to present the processes of tissue organisation starting with the elementary processes of embryonic development and cell differentiation, without forgetting the necessary correlations with microscopic anatomy and the physiology of organs and systems (functional histology).
Each chapter or section ends with some pathological/ clinical considerations (clinical correlations). These considerations serve to highlight the cytological or histological bases of some of the main disease phenomena and to clarify the mechanisms, at cellular or tissue level, of the main genetic, malformative, teratogenic, infectious, metabolic, degenerative and neoplastic disorders.

Nato dall’esigenza di fornire una sintetica visione d’insieme dell’istologia agli studenti di Medicina veterinaria, proponendo gli argomenti essenziali da rivedere in preparazione dell’esame di Stato, il libro, di cui occorre sottolineare l’impostazi...

La nuova edizione di questo testo universitario risponde al sempre più rapido sviluppo delle conoscenze biologiche e al profondo cambiamento a cui si assiste negli ultimi anni nell’insegnamento universitario

Questo volume colma la lacuna relativa alla citologia nasale. È indirizzato a tutti gli specialisti delle vie respiratorie, quindi non solo Otorinolaringoiatri, ma anche Allergologi, Pneumologi e Pediatri

This book is aimed at all specialists dealing with diseases of the airways, and thus not only at otolaryngologists, but also at allergologists, pneumologists and paediatricians
