Series: Advances in Medicine and Biology

This continuing series gathers and presents original research results on the leading edge of medicine and biology. Each article has been carefully selected in an attempt to present substantial topical data across a broad spectrum. This compilation discusses research on the classification of eczema; an evolutionary analysis of insect carbonic anhydrases; thalidomide in the treatment of liver disease and cirrhosis; the pathology of primary biliary cirrhosis; the therapeutic potential of various stem cells in the treatment of liver cirrhosis; protein synthesis in human leg muscles; and leg muscle responses to stimulation by TASER conducted energy muscles.
