Mechanistic Toxicology: The Molecular Basis of How Chemicals Disrupt Biological Targets, Second Edition van Urs A. Boelsterli is an English-language textbook for professionals in toxicology.
This reference work provides an in-depth and up-to-date analysis of the molecular basis behind toxic effects of chemical substances. The second edition includes revised chapters on types of toxic reactions, disruption of signal transduction and mitochondrial functions, as well as new insights from systems toxicology. The book links molecular processes to broader biomedical contexts and makes complex mechanisms understandable through examples from pharmaceuticals, environmental contamination, and other chemical substances.
It is a valuable source for those focused on biochemistry, life sciences, and toxicology, offering a clear explanation of the molecular basis that strengthens understanding of toxicity at the cellular and physiological level.
