Psychiatric Genetics: A Primer for Clinical and Basic Scientists provides a straightforward introduction to the essentials of psychiatric genetics, complementing available comprehensive textbooks that may seem overwhelming for those new to the field. Written and edited by leaders of the International Society of Psychiatric Genetics (ISPG), the main goal of this book is to educate clinicians and scientists about psychiatric genetics, as psychiatrists and other mental health care professionals are increasingly confronted with questions about genetics, psychiatric illness, and the clinical applications of new genetic findings. The book covers all major aspects of psychiatric genetics, including basic epidemiology, recruitment for human studies, phenotyping strategies, formal genetic and molecular genetic studies, statistical genetics, bioinformatics and genomics, pharmacogenetics, the most relevant animal models, and biobanking. Each chapter begins with a list of “take home” points that summarizes content, followed by a brief overview of current knowledge and suggestions for further reading. This Primer is ideal for medical students, psychiatric residents, psychiatrists, and basic neuroscience researchers who are interested in learning the basic concepts of psychiatric genetics and the advances in the field.

AbstractHyaluronic acid (HA) is widely used in the biomedicine due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and nontoxic properties. It is crucial for cell signaling role during morphogenesis, inflammation, and wound repair. After hydrogel formation, HA easily is converted to elastic sheets in order to use in preclinical and clinical applications. In addition, HA-derived hydrogels are easily used as vectors for cell and medication in tissue repairing and regenerative medicine. Moreover, in comparison with other polymers, HA -based hydrogels play a key role in in cellular behavior, including stem cell differentiation. The current paper reviews both basic concepts and recent advances in the development of HA-based hydrogels for biomedical applications.
