Advances in Experimental Biology ist eine kleine Buchserie mit 2 Bänden und eines der gut 1.000 Onlinebücher des Verlags Elsevier, welche die Zweigbibliothek Ende 2008 kaufen konnte. In den folgenden Wochen wird die ZB Med einige der Bücher und Buchserien exemplarisch vorstellen.

„The Animal Section of the SEB launched this serial „Advances in Experimental Biology“ in 2006, with the first volume published in 2007. The aim of this new serial is to provide state-of-the-art review volumes on timely issues that have an international topicality within the field of Comparative and Integrative Biology. The series as a whole will therefore cover a rather broad range of topics from the role of individual molecules (e.g. Nitric Oxide) to system-level approaches applied to a particular research discipline (e.g. Toxicogenomics).
Each volume will contain approximately ten chapters each providing a detailed review of current understanding within a sub-topic of the volume title. Each chapter is written by leading authorities in science that have been invited, based on their international reputation, to provide their perspective on the current status and recent developments within the field. All chapters are peer-reviewed by at least two independent referees prior to acceptance for publication.“

„The book series ‚Advances in Phytomedicine‘ is an international series devoted exclusively to the emerging research in ethnomedicine and drug development. The series will serve as a platform to reflect the transdisciplinary nature of the field of ethnomedicine. A variety of disciplines including all aspects of drug safety, drug monitoring, reporting, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics metabolism, pharmacodynamics and adverse reactions of clinical ethnomedical research will be covered. Topics such as non-clinical safety, efficacy, toxicology, public policy issues, pharmaceutical, ethnoveterinary, ethnographic, applied sciences and other disciplines related to the development of indigenous knowledge in drug development will be discussed in the series.
The book series is intended to address the issue of practice of traditional medicine and the remedies used as it relates to drug development and the standardization of traditional remedies and their translation into phytomedicines, nutraceuticals and dietary supplements. The niche covered by this series is the interphase between ethnomedicine and modern ‚Materia medica‘.“
