Only in the last few centuries have physicists \"borrowed\" the word, and more recently, biologists for Theodor Schwann's cell theory. Most recently, the term has come into use in atomic theory, spectroscopy, and radioactivity, as well as in the fields of atomic bombs, fission, and fusion. Nucleation as a physicochemical process is followed by two poorly understood phenomena -- \u003cem\u003eaggregation and crystallization\u003c\/em\u003e - which underlie disorders like Alzheimer's and \"mad-cow\" disease (aggregation of amyloid plaque), cardiovascular diseases (deposition in coronary vessels of cholesterol and lipids), and the appearance of crystals under physiological conditions (gout, silicoses, and liver or kidney stones).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by leading scientists in the field, including one Nobel Laureate, this book provides a unique perspective between the physical and chemical sciences on the one hand, and the biological and medical sciences on the other, and should be of considerable value to scientists, physicians, students, and the interested lay public.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sedzik Jan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9812832653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789812832658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Sedzik Jan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446707106047,"sku":"9789812832658","price":93.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_068e5fff-e15f-47b5-88c1-bdcea9fb8213.jpg?v=1777226422","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/molecules-sedzik-jan-9789812832658","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
